Liposuction of Chin/neck Area. Is it Done Under General Anesthesia? What Do You Recommend? (photo)
Is it possible to do liposuction of the chin/neck area/jawline by itself? Is this done under general anesthesia or sedation? How much does it cost? Do you think I would get good results without having a chin implant? I know my chin is recessed but I am scared to have an implant after reading the blogs on this site.

Chin augmentation and chin / neck liposuction
Great question. I would recommend chin and neck liposuction as a first step. If you are afraid of a chin implant, I would recommend Radiesse facial fillers for non surgical chin augmentaiton.

Liposuction of the neck, chin implant
The only setting in which I currently use a solid facial implant is for chin implant augmentation. Some patients with a 'weak' chin profile can be adequately improved by structural fat grafting alone. However, when the chin protrusion needs to be enhanced by a half centimeter or more, a chin implant is absolutely required. I prefer to use a soft, flexible, anatomic chin implant that conservatively enhances the anterior projection of the chin in profile. The chin implant is placed through an...

Liposuction of chin/neck area
A retrusive chin is always best treated with a chin implant and enhanced with neck work. Neck fat can be removed with simple liposuction. However, a more controlled operation with better results is a neck lift. A neck lift is typically performed on patients less than 50 years of age who do not have any jowling. When jowling is present, a lower face/neck lift is performed to raise the jowls and tighten the platysmal muscle, and take the fat out of the neck.

Liposuction of Chin/neck Area. Is it Done Under General Anesthesia? What Do You Recommend? (photo)
Chin liposuction is typically performed under IV sedation with great success. I have two concerns about liposuction alone based on your photos. The first is that liposuction will remove fatty tissue but there is a good chance that your neck skin will not tighten enough to give you the nice neckline that you desire. Second, you will not achieve the profile improvement that you're seeking without also augmenting your chin with either a chin implant or filler injection. You would probably see...

General anesthesia?
I prefer IV sedation and local anesthesia for improving problems such as yours. A chin implant added to neck liposuction and possible platysmaplsty would give a very dramatic improvement . In the 40 years I have been using chin implants , I have never had a major problem and the minor ones were all correctible. Please send me the refernce for the blogs that frighten you so much.

Liposuction of Chin/Neck
Hello, in reviewing your photos I would recommend a combination of procedures. You will need submental liposuction as well as liposuction of your jaw and a chin implant. It is also going to be necessary to have a neck lift. If you only have the liposuction of your neck and jaw you may be trading one problem for the next (loose skin), which in my opinion is worse.These procedures can be done under local and IV sedation or general anesthesia. Schedule a consultation with a Board...

Liposuction of Chin/neck Area. Is it Done Under General Anesthesia? What Do You Recommend?
Photos posted are slightly helpful. In that regard I would recommend in person evaluations in your city. But I think you need a neck lift, sub mental lipectomy and chin implant. Smart Lipo + lipo of the next, jawline would not treat the excess skin and hypo plastic jaw.

Be aware the lower face and neck liposuction can be very comfortably performed under local anesthesia.
There is no good reason to perform this procedure under general anesthesia. While general anesthesia is generally considered "safe." It is not as safe as not having general anesthesia. The lower face and neck can be numbed and liposuction can be performed in an office procedure room. Generally for the placement of a chin implant, iv sedation is preferred. Another excellent option for your chin is Perlane filler as an alternative to a chin implant or a chin...
