Chin lipo method? (Photo)

Thank you for your thoughtful question. It’s great that you’ve already done your research and consultations.

Both the one-incision and three-incision techniques are commonly used in submental liposuction (chin lipo), and the decision usually comes down to surgeon preference, technique, and desired precision—especially when addressing contouring and skin tightening.

the other 2 are just behind the earlobe, never visible, and I would also choose 3 points. Never saw a patient who are aware of her behind earlobe incisions for liposuction. The whole area can be also done for only one incision under the chin.

It would be better to post several pictures of your face and neck with your hair pulled back behind your ears to make a determination about how to proceed. It's very important to remember that liposuction can only remove the fat deposits above the platysma muscle. A surgical neck lift is required when there's fat located below the muscle, which may be an issue for you based on this limited photograph. A neck lift also includes a platysma plasty to significantly improve the jawline once the neck has been defatted. If you have fat deposits located close to the jawline by your ear, then we make two small incisions behind the ear to for removal of that fat deposit when necessary.

Personally, I make three incisions.
The incisions under the earlobe need to be low enough that they lineup perfectly with the jawline.
This leaves the incisions exposed, but the face heals so well. The incision points are really not visible overtime.
There is a substantial difference in skill for this procedure.
I suggest you focus much more on before and after pictures, the number of incisions.
When reviewing results make sure head position is always the same in the before, and after pictures.
Extending the neck can dramatically change the contour in this area.
Highly experienced surgeons should have more before and after pictures then you have time to review.
The more consultations someone schedules, the more likely they are to find the best provider for their needs.
Approaching mastery of this procedure is more difficult than most people realize.
Best,
