Loose skin after chin liposuction

In the first few months after chin liposuction the appearance of loose skin can happen. You'd be surprised at how much change you'll see over a 3 to 6 month period. Be patient, if you still have this issue after that time frame then consult your surgeon about a face/neck lift. Best of luck. Chase Lay, MD

Loose skin after Double Chin Liposuction

Since it is only one month since your liposuction, I would suggest you allow more time for healing before you seek further treatment for the loose neck skin. Three to six months would be a reasonable time frame. If the loose skin has not resolved you may want to consider a neck lift.

This may or may not improve. There are solutions to the potential skin excess. I would allow 3-6 months of healing time. Close follow up with your plastic surgeon is recommended. Dr. ES

Can not say because need photos. My bet is minor skin excision. But I woyuld wait 3 months to allow full healing before doing anything further.

Without pictures, it is hard to say but you may see some improvement over the next few months. Go back to your plastic surgeon and see if compression can still be used.
