I am a 30 yr old woman who is an average weight. Even at my skinniest (size zero) I've always had a double chin but I notice it's bigger when I'm heavier. My doctor advised against liposuction, saying the problem was excess tissue, not fat. Thermage was recommended instead. I'm hesitant to try Thermage because many reviews say it was expensive and didn't work. Judging from the photo I've attached would I be a good candidate for chin liposuction or Thermage? Thanks!
I suspect that the increase in size in your “double-chin” with your weight gain is fat, and not just “excess tissue”, but “excess fat”. Patients hear me say all the time, regardless of the procedure they’re having, “the procedure and results will depend greatly on skin tone and elasticity. I suspect strongly that you would be best served via liposculpture but this is difficult to determine without direct examination.
after chin/neck liposuction, how much weight could one gain without losing the results of the liposuction?
Ideally, if one is going to go through the expense and time of any surgical procedure such as Liposculpture one should make every attempt not to gain weight. There is no set amount of weight gain to determine what will “undo” the effects of the Liposculpture which you underwent. This depends greatly on many factors, including body type, skin elasticity and skin tone, as well as body mass.
I had sub-mental liposuction a year ago, and the doctor took out too much fat in the area at the base (where neck meets jaw) and there is a triangle area which is depressed and was hard to photograph, basically it looks like a hole as if someone's thumb is pressing up and people have commented on it, also now my glands are more visible. Could a fat transfer fix this? It's just the one area. Should the surgeon who did it try to fix it? Price estimate for area? I can't believe it happened!
It's hard to evaluate the area of concern in the picture. Many times a combination of delicate miniliposuction combined with fat grafting can correct those localized abnormalities. I would definitely talk to your original surgeon first.
