how to fix loose skin under chin?

Thank you for your pictures. In my opin, you need to allow this to heal for the next six months. It does not appear that you are a great candidate were a great candidate for Eric liposuction. You may need a neck lift prior to some modest weight loss.

Dear Berry14,I am guessing the liposuction was an easier, less scary, and cheaper option than a face and neck lift. You will definitely have less fullness after liposuction, but unless you are young or have great skin quality the trade off of less volume is more laxity. There are some mild skin tightening procedures like Uthera and Thermi, but the changes will be mild compared to the results after a surgical procedure. Give it some time, massage, and then go over photos with your surgeon at a longer term follow up (maybe 6 months from now) to see if you are interested in doing something more aggressive.

Although it is a bit early to make a final judgment, it appears you might need a revision. That may be a revision of the liposuction itself or a more extensive operation like a face and neck lift. I would recommend following up with your surgeon.

Robert J. Smyth, MD · Answer

First of all, wait for another few months to let the neck recover from the surgery. Then revisit your surgeon (or obtain a second opinion) to see whether an additional liposuction  and/or a lower face/neck lift is needed.

Darryl J. Blinski, MD · Answer

In certain cases the skin laxity is more than anticapted as in your case. Only a neck lift can improve in my over the internet not examined in person opinion.....
