Facial Sculpting Before & After Case 344

This patient, a young woman and professional model, sought facial sculpting in Washington DC & Arlington to improve the definition of her chin and neck. She was looking for plastic surgeons who specialized in the face and neck and was referred by her older sister, who had a closed rhinoplasty by Dr. Houtan Chaboki.

Despite maintaining a healthy lifestyle and stable weight, she noticed a persistent double chin that did not respond to diet or exercise. Her history includes genetics of a weak chin, childhood pacifier use, and wisdom teeth extraction—all factors that contributed to a lower facial profile she wanted to refine. A natural appearance was essential, given her modeling career and desire to avoid any signs of being "overdone."

For her procedure, Dr. Houtan Chaboki recommended a tailored plan including a medium-sized silicone chin implant, neck liposuction, and a deep neck lift. Using a conservative approach, he performed the surgery through a small incision under the chin. Dr. Chaboki greatly prefers the under the chin (external) approach to neck lift surgery for a variety of reasons. The deep neck fat was removed directly, as this area does not respond to traditional liposuction techniques. The incision, now almost imperceptible at three months post-op, will continue to fade with time. Her recovery was smooth, and she returned to work soon after surgery.

Three months following her facial sculpting in Washington DC & Arlington, the above patient achieved a sharper chin profile and more defined neck contour. Her jawline now better matches her overall healthy, vibrant look without appearing artificial. This outcome reflects her original goal: to look better, not different.

Dr. Chaboki approaches every patient with a focus on subtle, natural-looking enhancements. With extensive training and dual board certifications, he ensures care is both conservative and personalized. His Washington, DC office provides honest guidance and a commitment to helping patients achieve refreshed, healthy appearances.
