How Long Will the Results of Chin Liposuction Last?

 Patient's are all born with a certain amount of fat cells. The fat cells themselves get bigger or smaller depending upon weight gain or loss. Once the fat has been removed with liposuction you will not be gaining weight in the area that was liposuctioned. As with any type of aging process over 50-60 years of age skin tone in the neck becomes an issue, and then a face lift is required In addition to the fat removal.  A neck lift alone does not remove skin in our practice, a facelift is required when there is loose skin. For many examples, please see  the link below to our neck lift photo gallery

The success of chin liposuction depends on your age, the amount of fat present, and how much loose skin you have. If you already have loose and sagging skin, liposuction can make your appearance worse. You may need to combine a neck lift or Ultherapy with liposuction to help tighten your skin. You may also have the appearance of a double chin based on your anatomy and a chin implant combined with liposuction may be an option. These procedures for the most part are permanent but, nothing stops the aging process. Consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon to determine what treatment, double chin solutions is best for you.

Thank you for the question.

 

The results of chin  liposuction surgery may last many years.  However, the aging process will continue in patients may have problems with loose skin etc. that can be addressed through facelifting  procedures.  it will be important after surgery to maintain stable weight in order to prevent recurrence of the adipose tissue collection in the chin area.

Good skin elasticity is an important  attribute  of the patient undergoing liposuction surgery. As we age we generally  lose some skin elasticity. Very generally speaking  great care must be taken with patients over the age of 40 who are considering liposuction surgery.  After the liposuction procedure we are depending on the skin elasticity to allow the skin envelope to “shrink” to fit the reduced contour resulting from the liposuction procedure.

I hope this helps.
