I am a 45 yr old woman 5'2" 130 lbs (gained 10lbs in the last 5 yrs) I had fat under my chin and decided to get chin liposuction as th surgeon told me this would remove the fat and tighten the area. I am wondering if I should have gone a different route as my chin is dimpled and looks worse! I am now considering a neck lift.

I had chin/neck liposuction 3 months ago and still have some swelling and dimples. Should I be concerned or will this just take time to go away?

Great review?

I had my chin only done almost two months ago , i have some small bumps and a little puffiness , but my surgeon who i saw last on the 9th of June said it takes about 8 months for final results and just to gently massage them . My advice is do not massage them side to side , just gently push upwards on them morming and night , i have seen a diference and no one notices them but me . I believe we are too hard on our selfs , Good luck :)

Hi Lee -- Congrats on your 1-year post-op anniversary (soon anyway ;). How do you feel about your results now?

Nobody answered but I'll address it for others. It will likely go away but final results aren't usually seen till the 7 month mark. Now that it's been awhile how do you feel about your procedure? A necklift can definitely help. I wrote a review about my procedure you can see if you click on my profile.

How many cc's did you have removed? I have the same issue at 6 weeks post-op.
