Female, 5’5, 200ish pounds. I remember feeling self conscious always about this area. When I’m very skinny it’s barely even a double chin but hard to tell with photos because of smiling and angles, head posture. I consulted yesterday and he said I’m in the middle of lipo or lift. Mentioned having some extra skin (genetic?). Not sure if it’s significant, or just mild to moderate or can be okay with lipo since I am young. Also no idea if I got skinny enough if I’d still have some fat there or need a lift. I would like to lose weight and it would be nice to get down to a healthy bmi but realistically don’t see myself losing more than 20 lbs. I was confused because I’ve seen people who looked similiar to my side profile, and they got great lipo results, said I would be ok with lipo and not needing a lift. The doctor I saw offered smart lipo combined with facetite or Morpheus. I asked about doing just lipo but he didn’t recommend it. I think their office only does lipo with it. People told me too I could prob do just fine without the Morpheus? If I lost a lot of weight or even now, would Morpheus treatments give good results or only if really skinny? I also didn’t understand what a mini neck lift was either. Would lipo be great for me to do? I also felt I had a slightly weak chin towards the bottom but the surgeon said it’s fine. Not sure if genioplasty would be too much, maybe some chin filler but the double chin area bothers me most

Likewise, facial asymmetry is also based on bone structure.

Hello, and thank you for your question. You would absolutely benefit from liposuction of the chin and neck area. Because it also appears you have some loose skin in the area as well, adding on a skin tightening laser such as Renuvion would enhance your results. These procedures can be done under...
