It's Been Three Months Since my Chin Lipo, is This my Final Result? (photo)

Tags: 3 months post-op, final result

I had liposuction on my chin/jaw line, and there is still a good few centimeters of either fat or skin behind my chin that was suppose to be gone. There's a chance it could just be skin, so could the skin still continue to tighten up after three months? I only had a little fat removed, plus I'm only 23 so my doctor told me I would have no problem with this since my skin is elastic. I read somewhere that the best results come at four months, is this true? Is there anything I can do to help?

Chin lipo result

It is hard to tell from the photos. You are well on the road to complete healing. The photos are not showing residual fat but rather the shape of your neck. When a patient has a small amount of fat, the result will be subtle.

OK-unimpressive neck liposuction.

In the grand scheme of things, having a non-result is much better than have had too much fat removed. Although the technical details of performing neck liposuction are very straight forward, one still has to have a sculptor's eye to know how much fat needs to be removed and from what areas the fat needs to be removed. Some inexpereinced liposuction surgeons (and they are hard to discern from expereinced liposuction surgeons because all surgeons beat their chest and say how I... more
