Can I Be Overweight and Still Get Chin Lipo?

Yes, you can weigh 240, and get chin liposuction.  Whether it will be beneficial is something you and your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon will have to discuss.

Patients who are at or close to their ideal body weight are the best candidates for chin liposuction.  You should have good skin tone with no stretch marks in the area. The best candidates generally are under the age of 50 also.  The success of submental (chin/neck) liposuction depends on the quality of the skin in the area.  With the help of a compressive post-operative garment, you can expect to see results within the first few weeks.

A board certified plastic surgeon can examine you to determine if this is a good procedure for you.

You will see improvement in your neck and chin after Chin Lipo or Liposuction.

Plastic Surgeons recommend weight loss before Liposuction because we want your weight to be stable so that you do not gain weight after Liposuction and lose the benefit of the procedure. If you can lose some weight and keep it off your chances of a lasting result are improved.

Another issue is skin laxity. When too much fat is removed from beneath the skin, the skin often becomes lax and sags, which creates another problem for your appearance.
