Will Fat Transfer To My Face Make My Chin Look Less Prominent?

Q: Dr. Eppley, my chin is long and wide, just very prominent.  However, maybe, having more balance, might help without having to have surgery? My face is really thin, a bit of fat transfer maybe and slightly enhanced lips (fat transfer?) may make me feel as though my chin isn’t so prominent?  

Any other feedback or questions, please let me know.

A:I don’t think that adding volume in the face will help very much if at all. The value of those procedures is more supplemental to the chin reduction as a synergistic effect. But standalone volume addition probably won’t do very much.

The proper chin reduction technique in your case is a submental approach through which the bone and soft tissue pad can be reduced.
