A crisp jawline that many patients request relies on a delicate balance between skin elasticity, fat distribution, and underlying bone projection. When all three elements work in harmony, the skin drapes cleanly from the jawbone down to the neck, creating a distinct angle. However, if any of these areas fall out of alignment through natural bone recession, lax skin, or isolated fat deposits, the entire contour softens. Many people assume that "getting rid of fat" under the chin is the only solution, but Dr. Sanovich often finds that the underlying skeletal structure of a patient's face plays an equally vital role in how prominent submental fullness appears.
Addressing the Underlying Bone Structure with Genioplasty
Sometimes, eliminating fat alone is not enough to achieve a striking profile. If a patient possesses a naturally receding or small chin, the soft tissues lack adequate structural projection. This lack of projection crowds the area beneath the chin, making even a minimal amount of submental fat (chin fat) look much more pronounced.
In these instances, a surgical chin procedure called genioplasty offers a permanent solution. A genioplasty involves reshaping or repositioning the actual chin bone to bring it forward or adjust its height. Projecting the chin outward allows the skin and soft tissues of the neck to be naturally stretched and supported, giving that desired contour that our cosmetic patients love.
