It's probably important to note that even at a healthy BMI I have a double chin. I am currently 60 lb overweight and working on it, but it'll probably be another year before I get weight off. Thank you doctors!

Answer: Chin liposuction It is possible to undergoing chin liposuction even if you are overweight.The only concern is that after weight loss of skin might become loose. In an ideal situation the weight loss should be accomplished before you undergo chin liposuction. However weight loss can become a very long process at times. You should set the time limit for achieving your weight loss and after that do not wait any longer before undergoing chin liposuction.The younger you are when the liposuction is done more likely will not have any access wrinkles of skin afterwards.RegardsDr. J

Answer: Double Chin Treatment / Laxity-- SmartLipo/VASER/ThermiRF, Botox, Venus Legacy, Kybella I treat this everyday in my practice. You may be a surgical candidate but you do not need surgery for improvement. Often the chin area isn't improved with weight loss -- this is highly genetic. Properly performed liposuction with energy based devices and physical fat removal will do fantastic to remove the fat, lift the skin, and contour the jawline. I pretreat everyone with Botox 1-2 weeks before surgery to relax the neck muscles, allowing for better retraction of the skin after surgery. Then after treatment we do skin tightening with Venus Legacy to improve the results and decrease the neck swelling. I suggest you only see an expert for treatment of this area as a meticulous surgeon is required to get great results and complications in this area can be devastating both medically and cosmetically. A new medication that is used to remove chin fat with injections called Kybella may also be an option, as it secondarily allows for skin tightening/lifting as well. A formal consultation is needed to determine what are the best options for you. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Chin liposuction It is a common misconception that one needs to be at ideal weight prior to submental liposuction. When a person gains weight and the fat under their chin is more prominent, this is not due to an increase in fat cells. The fact is that the cells just become larger. During the liposuction, the total number of cells is greatly reduced regardless of size . Let's be realistic. Performing submental liposuction without obtaining ideal body weight shows wonderful results. Most people, if they are 20 pounds or more overweight, will frankly not lose the weight just to have a neck procedure performed. My advice is, if you would like to have the procedure done, have it done. Good luck to you, and thank you for the question. Dr David Mueller, DDS, FABOMS
