Will Chin Liposuction Result in Loose Skin?
I am a 24 year old who wants to do Chin Liposuction and I am wondering if this will result in loose sagging skin. I have been working out for two years now reduced my sodium intake and drink plenty of water. I have been unable to get rid of my double chin but I do not want to do if it will result in saggy skin.

Will chin & neck liposuction cause loose skin
To some degree, you will have loose skin but at your age and given the appearance of your skin, this should be relatively mild. I typically do not recommend more procedures than a patient requests but I believe you should consider a chin implant or chin enlargement. This would serve two purposes: 1) it would partially "take up" the loose skin and 2) your natural chin is small and makes your neck seem fuller; a chin implant would provide greater definition ot the chin and neck,...

Skin resiliency and quality and chin liposuction
It appears as though you have good skin tone. Patients who have good skin resiliency usually have stellar results with chin liposuction. Speak to your surgeon about the snap back test for skin resiliency.

Chin Liposuction Result
There will be some loose skin but in young skin the elasticity is better so your results should be good. Discuss with your surgeon however.

Chin Liposuction?
Thank you for the question.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to give you good advice without direct examination. However, given the isolated at this issue in the area and your useful skin you may be a good candidate for the procedure.
Generally, a good candidate for liposuction of the neck and chin area will be a relatively young patient with isolated “excess” adipose tissue with limited redundant/loose skin. The quality of overlying skin elasticity is...

You are unlikely to have loose skin after Chin SmartLipo

Chin or Neck Liposuction can result in loose skin but Laser Liposuction can help tighten neck skin
After chin or neck liposuction of large amounts of neck fat, loose skin may result.
However you have a small amount of neck fat and it is unlikely that you would have loose skin after traditional or laser assisted liposuction.
Many have observed, myself included, that the new Laser Assisted Liposuction of the neck, using Slimlipo or other techniques does enhance skin tightening as well as fat removal after liposuction.
For further discussion and photos of results see the link...

Ideal Candidate
If you have a small amount of fat under your chin at your age the likelihood of loose skin after liposuction is very small. However, if you have a lot of fat deposits under your chin expect some skin laxity.
Looking at the photo you provided it seems that you have a small amount of fat with fairly tight and young skin.
With these qualities, you should expect good results.

Laser Lipo may be better than traditional lipo for skin tightening
In a young person, the skin is elastic enough to shrink back after lipo of the chin, and it is a very nice option for individuals into their late 40's and early 50's. Typically, after that, they need a more invasive surgical lift to tighten the skin.
A strategy that has worked in my hands is to use laser lipo to remove the fat, and allow the laser to have the best chance at skin tightening. In addition, after that, we can some fractionated laser treatments...

Take it on the chin
Chin liposuction is a great procedure with high patient satisfaction. As with any surgical procedure the right candidate must be selected. This depends on the experience and guidance of the surgeon. Because you are young you probaby have excellent skin quality which will allow your skin to shrink back to new contour after surgery. Visit a board certified plastic surgeon for a complete evaluation. Looks like you are a good candidate. Good luck,

Smart lipo may work for chin
Given the minimal skin laxity that I could see from the picture, believe using the smart lipo technique might give you the combination of decreasing chin fat and some skin tightening. Suggest using compression garment after to improve the re-attachment of the skin to the underlying tissue. All the best.

Skin sag after Liposuction always a concern
Greetings,
Skin sag after liposuction is always a concern. Given your young age, I would think that any skin sag you may have would be minimal. If this is a significant concern, you could consider one of the comibination liposuction technologies which can help with skin tightening, especially in patients with younger skin, or consider several liposuction sessions spaced out by several weeks. Another options is to undergo the liposuction and if you develope skin sag, either a chin...

Chin Liposuction will most likely not result in loose skin
Most likely NO, you are young enough with good elastic tissue to avoid any skin issues with liposuction. Even better is Smart Lipo for that area. Please see 3 plastic surgeons in your area.

Successful chin liposuction
I've found that if there is any question for the potential for loose skin the submental or neck areas after liposuction, then either consider an adjunct like laser-assisted liposuction (Slim Lipo) or staging the liposuction into two procedures, each separated by three to four months. I perform most neck liposuction in our office under local anesthesia and oral sedation only. I've found that the lasers not only can help tighten skin, but significantly reduce bruising and swelling after the...

Submental Liposuction
Hi,
Since you are young and you still have good skin elasticity, your skin should not sag.
Once the fat is removed, the skin will resuspend itself under the chin.
Best,

Chin Lipo
At 24, your skin should be elastic enough to tighten up. From your photo your skin looks quite good. I suspect you'd get a nice result. Consider a consult as first step.
