Am I a good candidate for chin liposuction to tighten up jawline? (Photos)

Unlike other tightening treatments, Ultherapy only requires a single treatment every one to two years and has long-term effects in skin stimulation and collagen production. Ultherapy is ideal for men and women who are experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity and desire a noticeable and long-term skin tightening treatment without the complications and risks of more invasive surgical procedures. Ultherapy can be combined with dermal fillers, Botox treatments, chemical peels, skin tightening lasers, and skin facials. Our plastic surgery and cosmetic center in Santa Monica offers Ultherapy as a complement to other skin treatments and cosmetic rejuvenation procedures.

You could definitely consider neck lipo but remember that this only addresses the superficial layer of fat in the neck; most of the time if ppl have "stubborn neck fat" that doesn't respond to weight changes, it may be in a deeper layer, in which case lipo alone will not address that. best to have an exam in person and discuss this specifically with your surgeon. also, to some degree looking at your neck, an issue may also be your hyoid bone location (esp the genetic part and most notable in the 3rd pic), which is not necessarily something that can be drastically modified too much.

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.

Thank you for sharing your photos and background. Based on what you’ve described and the pictures provided, you do appear to be a potential candidate for chin liposuction.

Chin lipo is often best for patients like you who are younger (your skin still has good elasticity at 27), have localized fat under the chin that doesn’t improve much with diet or weight changes, and are otherwise happy with their overall weight. Because your concern seems to be mostly genetic and isolated to this area, liposuction could help refine your jawline and reduce the fullness.

It’s important to note that while liposuction can remove the excess fat, the degree of skin tightening afterward depends on your skin’s elasticity. At your age, skin typically retracts well, which works in your favor. If skin laxity becomes more of a concern in the future, procedures like energy-based skin tightening or even a neck lift can be considered.

Overall, with your age, skin quality, and localized concern, you seem like a good candidate for chin liposuction, and results could give you a more contoured jawline.

Hi there, and thank you for your question. You are an excellent candidate for chin and neck liposuction. This can be done under local anesthesia meaning you will be awake, but the area will be numb. A small canula is inserted to remove the fat pockets along your lower chin and jawline. You can expect some bruising and swelling for a few weeks, with final results showing in about 6 months. Please consult with a Board-certified plastic surgeon who can safely perform this for you. Good luck to you!

Based on your post of photos, the minimally invasive treatment of Endo laser with liposuction and combination would offer you the best results for the jaw, neck and chin. B $8000. Best of virtual

We need a standard set of facial pictures to make a better assessment.
Generally, the best candidates for Liposuction tend to be young people who have good skin elasticity with thick layers of subcutaneous fat.
The fact that this runs in your family is probably not because your family has an abnormal fat distribution, but is more likely that your family has a certain facial, skeletal imbalance between the mandible and the maxilla.
The potential outcome of Liposuction in this area is Haily provider dependent.
In other words and the hands of the wrong plastic surgeon the results may not be that great.
In the hands of the right plastic surgeon, the results could be spectacular. And
As people get older, Liposuction is often insufficient and a neck lift is often a better procedure.
Typically around age 50 patients do better with a formal neck lift.
If you wanna move forward with Liposuction, I suggest scheduling several in person consultations.
Get a standard set of facial pictures, both frontal and profile and bring those with you to use as a reference during the consultation.
Ask providers to open up their portfolio and show you plenty of before, and after pictures of previous patients who had similar facial characteristics.
Individuals who have an undersized mandible tend to develop premature double chins while those who have a larger mandible tend to maintain a defined jawline into later years.
Liposuction may very well be a good procedure for you.
I suggest you focus on provider selection, which in the end will be the most important variable.
Results for this procedure are provider dependent.
