I went to a makeup artist with this request (the last picture) for my cousin’s wedding. I originally wanted graphic eyeliner, but the makeup artist said it’s no longer trendy. Anyway, this was the final result. The makeup actually lasted really well until the end of the event. I really like it, but I still feel like it’s very far from what I asked for.
What do you think? Do you trust makeup artists?
Most likely, this question relates more to cosmetology than surgery.
I am 26 years old, 160 cm and weighing 49–50 kg (which is the lower limit of normal for my height according to BMI). I have sagging under the chin. And this skin fold when I smile. Initially, I assumed it might be fat, because overall I also have cheeks and soft features, even if not very large, and I thought my face might just store fat that way. But today a cosmetologist told me that these are soft tissues (my skin), and there is very little fat there. That means chin liposuction is not an option.
I also considered jaw surgery, but orthodontists are saying that I do not need maxillofacial surgery; however, I do have dental issues (crowding of the lower teeth due to a narrow upper jaw). But braces are unlikely to lift the skin in the chin area.
As an alternative, the cosmetologist suggested a non-direct lipolytic injection, which supposedly gently breaks down fat and reduces swelling. Then she suggested filler and Botox in the chin area.
So overall, is there any point in doing lipolytic injections? Or will my desire for a sharp facial contour remain just a dream? Since fillers dissolve over time and may possibly migrate (though the doctor says this is unlikely in the chin area). Do they need to be repeated every two years? Or could I be a candidate for a chin implant? 🥲
