Am I a Candidate for Chin Liposuction (Male)?

Tags: male, actor, candidate

I am attaching two profile photos of me with my head in its normal position. I am an actor, and so having a tight chin/neck area is important to me. Right now, it is sagging and I want to deal with this, but I am not sure if this can be dealt with via lipo. If I am not a candidate for lipo, what other options do I have to deal with this?

Chin liposuction

Jeff, Thanks for your inquiry. Based on your photos chin liposuction would improve your neck contour, primarily in your profile. The change will not be dramatic but will be noticeable, especially on camera. Provided you are young and have good skin tone in this area, most patients do quite well with traditional liposuction. You would have to wear a garment (chin strap) after surgery to help ensure a smooth contour. The procedure can be done under mild sedation or general... more

How to best fix a sagging neck

From the photos, it does not look like you have a lot of fat to suction. I would recommend that you consider a skin lifting procedure. Look into Ulthera, I have been seeing good results in cases like yours. One of the main advantages would be no downtime and nobody would know that you had anything done, just a nice subtle lift. Post back to let us know how things go.

Better photos with frontal and side views would help answer the question.

You should seek consultation with an expert in Liposuction/SmartLipo to anser this question. Frontal and side views with an upright head postion would be necessary to really evaulate the neck. It is also important to have a physical examinaiton to palpate the fat and determine what could be removed safely. The photos are not adequate.

Redefining the male chin-neck angle?

Mr. Kent: In addition to the techniques offered, you might consider visiting Dr. Greg Mueller, Beverly Hills, who has introduced a technique called the iGuide necklift, which provides a "trampoline" of permanent sutures under the neck skin. The jury is out on how long the results will last, however the procedure can be conducted under local anesthesia +/- oral sedation with very little down time. Good luck

Liposuction of the chin and neck

Your photographs are not a good substitution for a consultation however based on what I am able to determine you would benefit from liposuction. I am in Newport Beach and have a lot of experience with patients in your same trade and it is important how the camera picks up certain problematic areas. I think in your circumstance a minimal procedure of chin and neck liposuction will give you a nice result. Digital imaging is also very helpful in the consulting phase as the surgeon is able to... more

Chin or neck lioosuction

If you are concerned with the fatty deposits underneath your chin this liposuctions may assist. If you are referring to the projection of your chin point then you may require a formal chin reduction procedure or genioplasty. Sometimes both of these procedures need to be performed in combination.

Candidate for lipo

Yes you are and I would add platysmal plication to enhance the angle under the chin. This can be done under local in much safer environment then general anesthesia. I woul look up Dr. Jeffrey Klein in San Juan Capistrano. He is the developer of the tumescent technique and has revolutionized the field of minimally invasive cosmetic surgery. Best, Dr. Malouf

Chin liposuction

While there is no substitute for an in-person consultation and examination, it seems that your pictures show just a slight laxity in the submental (under chin) area. Laser liposuction would likely be your best option as you really don't have significant fatty deposits in this area; rather, you would likely benefit the most from the skin tightening from the laser (after gentle liposuction in this area). Additionally, depending upon your skin type -- you may be a good candidate... more

Yes to chin liposuction, possible no to chin implant

Given the details you proveded, I would vote less for chin liposuction. Obviously, the problem is not so bad but given the competitive environment in which you find yourself, your concern and your proposed solution makes sense to me. Of course, nothing takes the place of a true consultation. I probably would be less enthusiastic about a chin implant if I were you, based on the photos you provided. Good luck!

Chin/lower face liposuction-great option.

Hard to be definitive without a personal consultation. The photos are just not adequate. The key with lower face/neck liposuction is that it is relatively easy to have and recover from. The procedure can be performed in the office under straight local anesthesia. The issue here is will it be the right thing for you. Yes it can help the fullness under the chin in many people. Consider having a few personal consultation before settling on a particular approach. more

From your profile view, it looks as though your chin may be slightly small and therefore, you have what it looks like extra fat under your chin, but in fact, this is the folding of the skin. A small chin implant will help resolve this, but you will have to be careful not to get a large chin implant since that would cause a witch's chin deformity.
