Anesthesia complication resulting in death or a persistent vegetative state.

Serious infection following surgery.

Injury to the marginal mandibular branch of the facial nerve.

 How likely are these complications?  A surgeon could work many lifetimes and never see these complications.

1. Not achieving desired results

2. Hematoma

3. Infection

are the most serious complications following chin liposuction. 

There are always complications possible with surgery however the probability in any complications from liposuction of the chin, done in a accredited facility with a qualified surgeon are extremely low. I have been doing liposuction of the chin since the invent of liposuction and have never had a complication. Skin laxity is a concern during liposuction and a qualified surgeon would not do chin liposuction if you really needed a neck lift or something else done where you would be left with loose skin. Many patients come in asking for liposuction of the chin and they do not have any fat in the area just loose skin, these patients are not a candidate unless doing in conjunction with a facelift or other procedures.
