Chin lipo or is a lift needed for the best results? (Photos)

Chin Liposuction and Thermitight
Chin liposuction helps reduce the bulge under the chin and can be done for the whole neck. Once the fat is removed the skin can become loose and saggy in some cases. It can be avoided by combining it with Thermitight which is a radiofrequency heat delivered under the skin to tighten it. Both chin liposuction and Thermitight can be done at the same time. The recovery is fast and it can be done under local anesthesia.

If you are intending to lose weight I encourage you to complete that goal first before considering treatment. You are young to consider a surgical lift. Once you reach your goal weight you can see how much subcutaneous fat is present as well as the amount of skin laxity. At that time you can revisit the options of Morpheus8 or FaceTite to determine what is best for you.

When considering the best approach to address concerns about the chin and neck area, it's important to evaluate your goals, skin quality, and anatomical factors. Here are some insights into the options you mentioned:

Liposuction (Lipo): This procedure is effective for removing excess fat in the chin and neck area. It is most suitable for individuals with good skin elasticity, as the skin needs to contract well after fat removal. Since you mentioned having some extra skin, the success of liposuction alone may depend on how well your skin can tighten post-procedure.

Neck Lift: A neck lift may be more appropriate if there is significant skin laxity. It involves tightening the underlying muscles and removing excess skin, providing a more defined neck and jawline. If your consultation suggested that you're between needing lipo or a lift, this indicates some degree of skin laxity that might not be fully addressed by liposuction alone.

Smart Lipo with FaceTite or Morpheus8: These are minimally invasive procedures that combine liposuction with skin tightening technologies. FaceTite uses radiofrequency energy to tighten skin, while Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency for skin tightening and rejuvenation. These could be ideal if you have mild to moderate skin laxity and are looking for less invasive options than a full neck lift.

Weight Loss: Losing weight can naturally reduce fat in the chin area. However, if there is genetic predisposition to retaining fat or skin laxity, weight loss alone might not fully address the contouring you desire.

Mini Neck Lift: This is a less invasive version of a traditional neck lift, addressing mild to moderate skin laxity and excess fat. It might be appropriate if your skin concerns are not severe.

Chin Augmentation: If you feel your chin is slightly weak, chin fillers can provide temporary enhancement, improving the overall profile. Genioplasty is a more permanent surgical option but might be considered more invasive than necessary if your primary concern is the double chin.

Ultimately, the choice between these options should be guided by a thorough understanding of your aesthetic goals, your skin's characteristics, and the expertise of your surgeon. A second opinion could also be valuable to ensure you're comfortable with the recommended approach.
