Which procedure is best to reduce a double chin, jowls and contour the chin? Vaser or Smart Lipo? (Photo)

Question

Dear experts, which lipo is the best for doublechin, but also for jowls and chin contour? Vaser or smart Lipo? I red here that the lipo of the chin contour / jowls area can be risky as nerves could be damaged. What is your advice? Also is the skin tightening approx. the same? Thanks so much in advance!!

In my hands, I have found that SMART lipo in addition to suction lipo (to remove additional fat and remove breakdown products of the laser lipolysis) works the best.  Keep in mind that any modality is only as good as the surgeon using the instrument.Best wishes

I have found that SmartLipo works best for double chin, as it effectively removes the fat, and gets some skin tightening.

Hi and
welcome to our forum!
Liposuction involves
removal of fat through small pipes (cannulas) placed under extreme vacuum
after pretreatment with an infusion of solution containing a blood vessel
constrictor (to prevent bleeding) and an anesthetic (if performed awake).
Augmented liposuction utilizes laser energy or ultrasonic energy to semiliquify
the fat, making it easier to remove and adds a subtle skin tightening effect.
In
general, the experience of the surgeon is more important than the type of
instrument utilized.
I
recommend you visit a board certified plastic surgeon with considerable liposuction experience
and allow him / her to use the instrument with which he / she feels most
comfortable.
Best
wishes...

you appear to have good skin tone and i think Smartlipo is much better than Kybella or other non-invasive techniques. you do need to be careful doing Smartlipo near the jowls and also i don't think it is often necessary in the jowls. usually it is only needed for the neck/submental area. however, i would need to see you in person to make the final recommendations.see a board certified plastic surgeondavid berman md
