Although there are multiple solutions for addressing these problems, a nonsurgical facelift might be the best. With a nonsurgical facelift, you can restore your jaw to its optimal position, improving the appearance of your chin and reducing the appearance of fat folds under the chin.
How Tooth Wear Leads to a Weak Chin
A weak or receding chin occurs when the lower jaw is positioned too far back. For some people, this is genetic or developmental. The jaw developed that way. But for many others, this is the product of aging and teeth wear.
As teeth wear down, the jaw is pulled up and back. As a result, a chin that used to be strong is now receded and out of position. Some of the tissue that was supposed to be pulled taut by the forward chin position is now hanging loose under the receded chin. This can lead to more excessive folding of the tissue under the chin.
Nonsurgical Facelifts Can Restore Your Profile
Neuromuscular dentures can achieve a similar result for people who have lost teeth. They will properly replicate the youthful position of your jaw, helping to achieve a more youthful appearance.
