Facial Slimming & Jawline Contouring Options at Lone Star Plastic Surgery
When the pool floats get packed away and the kids head off with brand-new backpacks, many parents and professionals finally have a precious commodity again—time for themselves. If you’ve been thinking, “I’d love to tighten this neckline” or “I wish my jawline looked sharper for upcoming holiday photos,” early fall is the perfect window to act. Cooler weather, looser schedules, and sweater-friendly collars make recovery simpler and more discreet.
Below, Dr. Sean Hill—board-certified plastic surgeon and founder of Lone Star Plastic Surgery and MedSpa—breaks down today’s most effective facial-slimming and jaw-contouring solutions, from zero-downtime injectables to transformative surgery.
1. Injectable Contouring (Botox®, Dermal Fillers & Kybella®)
Why choose it now? A quick lunch-hour tweak can boost confidence for PTA meetings or the first big fall conference—no need to block your calendar.
| Goal | How it Works | Downtime | Longevity |
| Slim bulky masseter muscles | Tiny Botox injections relax over-active chewing muscles | None (occasional mild bruising) | 3–4 months |
| Sharpen jaw & chin | Hyaluronic-acid fillers add definition along the jaw border or build chin projection | None | 12–18 months |
2. FaceTite® + AccuTite® (Radiofrequency Skin Tightening)
If you see early jowling or a “tech-neck” crease but aren’t ready for surgery, FaceTite and its precision sister device, AccuTite, heat collagen deep beneath the skin while gently melting fat.
- Best for: Mild to moderate laxity along the lower cheeks, jawline, and under-chin.
- What to expect: Performed under local anesthesia; tiny needle-size entry points; compression garment for ~3 days.
- Results: Progressive tightening over 3–6 months; improvement can last 3–5 years.
3. Submental & Buccal Liposuction
For patients with good skin tone but stubborn fullness, targeted liposuction permanently removes excess fat.
- Chin/Neck Lipo: 30–45 minute procedure via 2-3 hidden incisions; light bruising 5–7 days.
- Buccal Fat Reduction: Small incision inside the cheek; reveals a slimmer midface and accentuates cheekbones.
- Recovery Tip: Schedule surgery right after school drop-off; most parents feel comfortable on Zoom within a week.
4. The “Weekend Neck Lift” (Mini Lower Face/Neck Lift)
When skin laxity is moderate to advanced, a short-scar lower face lift delivers the longest-lasting definition.
- Incision: Camouflaged around the ear; no visible hairline scars for ponytail season next spring.
- Downtime: 7–10 days of social lay-low time; stitches out at day 7.
- Longevity: 8–10+ years of youthful contour.
5. Stack & Save: Combination Therapy
Dr. Hill often pairs chin lipo + FaceTite or filler after liposuction to finesse edges once swelling subsides. Bundling treatments in a single session:
- Reduces total anesthesia time
- Shortens overall recovery
- Lowers cumulative cost compared with staging procedures
Frequently Asked Questions
How soon will I see results?
Injectables produce near-instant enhancement, while RF tightening and surgery unfold gradually as swelling resolves and collagen rebuilds—typically peaking by 3–6 months.
Is it safe to combine treatments?
Yes—when performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon in an accredited facility. Dr. Hill tailors every plan to your anatomy, health history, and downtime tolerance.
Will people know I had “work” done?
Our goal is simply to make you look well-rested and confident. Strategic contouring should prompt compliments like “Did you change your hair?”—not questions about surgery.
