Chin Liposuction: Q&A

Can Chin Liposuction Improve my Profile?
I'm 22 years old but have always had a sort of round chin, even in pictures from when I was a young child, and despite being otherwise very lean and tall. It produces the look of a slight double chin from the front, and gives me an odd, rounded jawline from the side. If I sort of pull back there toward my jaw and hold it with my fingers, I have a much nicer, straight profile so I don't think it's something wrong with my bone structure. What procedure might be an option for something like this?

Chin liposuction in young patients
Hey Miggles,
Hook'em Horns!
Anyhow, your age and anatomy actually makes you an excellent candidate for chin liposuction. Here's the break down:
1. While chin liposuction can benefit just about anyone younger patients have favorable skin and tissue tightness that responds really well to lipo. For you it's more about tightening the tissue beneath the skin than removing fat, though that's part of it.

Chin liposuction and profile improvement
Lipocontouring of the neck and chin area can provide a very natural, refreshed look and greatly enhance the jawline. You don't have a lot of fat under your chin and I would be conservative with the amount that was removed but I think that along with the skin tightening that results from lipocontouring you would get a great result. Good luck.

Chin liposuction should give a nice result
Based on your photo and your age, liposuction under your chin should give a nice result and provide more definition to your jawline. Although there isn't a lot of fat there, the procedure itself will cause skin tightening in the area which will be seen for several months after the procedure. Consult with a few board certified plastic surgeons in your area in ensure you are a good candidate for this procedure.
Best wishes,

Neck liposuction should provide a nice result
Upon consultation with a surgeon he/she will determine if fat is the underlying cause of the fullness in the sub mental area. It appears from your your profile picture that it is and with that said neck liposuction would be a very good choice to help with the problem you describe. You appear to have very good skin tone which is a necessity in neck liposuction. Liposuction of this area is highly effective, with minimal downtime and extreme patient satisfaction. Best regards!

Chin liposuction improving a profile
If the tissue below your chin is mostly fat, you should be an excellent candidate for liposuction. The procedure involves making a tiny incision in the natural crease area below your jaw and doing liposuction, either the so called "standard" tumescent technique only (in which fluid is first placed which has lidocaine for pain and epinephrine to minimize any bruising) or in combination with ultrasound assisted liposuction, which can help tighten the skin more. But based...

It might help
Liposuction can help...if....it is fat that is the problem. Sometimes enlarged muscles can create this look. In that case some other surgical maneuvers can often times help. A good examination will usually provide the proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

Liposuction neck
I have found liposuction of the neck useful for the removal of moderate fat in the sub-mental area. The fact that your neck skin appears to have good elasticity would be a positive for you.

Neck Liposuction could Improve Profile
From this low-side view you do appear to have a fullness of your neck portion between your jaws. This could be improved with liposuction. In addition, depending on the height of your chin, it can be made to appear longer along its lower area by placement of a long lasting filler. You can preview this appearance by having your Plastic surgeon inject the area with saline solution which will absorb in a few days but will show you how the filler may look.

Neck liposuction to improve profile
Neck liposuction can improve the concerns you describe. Your age is favorable as your skin elasticity should allow for excellent skin redraping and tightening.
Other issues to consider is you chin projection which looks good in your photo. In people who also have a recessive chin a chin implant can also help with improve the overall neck contour.
