CLAIM YOUR PROFILEIt sounds like you're a great candidate for chin liposuction (submental liposuction), especially since you have localized fullness in the chin area that is more noticeable when looking down or from low angles. Since the fullness isn't visible from the side, it suggests that the fat is more concentrated in a small, specific area, which liposuction can address effectively. This procedure removes the stubborn fat beneath the chin, providing a smoother, more defined profile.
Given that you’re physically fit and in your 20s, you likely have good skin elasticity, which is important for achieving optimal results after liposuction. Additionally, the recovery time is generally short, and the results are long-lasting as long as you maintain a stable weight.

Regarding your question, it's important to note that, in general, a skin-only facelift (also known as a superficial facelift or skin-only lift) does not have as much impact on the deeper layers of the skin, such as the muscles or ligaments. As a result, the effects tend to be more temporary compared to a deep facelift, which addresses the deeper muscles and tissues.
The reason why the skin tends to relax or sag more quickly after a skin-only facelift is that, since it does not involve restructuring the deeper tissues, the effects of the lift are limited to the tension on the surface of the skin. Over time, the skin may lose this tension, leading to faster relaxation.
As for the duration, the results of a skin-only facelift can last anywhere from 1 to 3 years, depending on various factors such as skin elasticity, post-operative care, genetics, and natural aging. While it is not a permanent procedure, the results can enhance the overall appearance of the treated area for several years.
