Will chin/facial liposuction (dramatically) increase facial hair growth?

Missy227Jan 29, 2014
As a result of PCOS, I have excessive facial hair in the form of a beard that grows daily. I'd like to get chin liposuction; however, I was told the liposuction will dramatically increase facial hair growth. Is this true? Are there any mechanisms I can take to reduce or eliminate the facial hair growth before I receive liposuction? Thank you!

I try to avoid saying what I would have done differently, not having the benefit of examining you in person and knowing more about you health, goals, desires, etc.  With that said - if you had been a patient of mine I would not have done liposuction alone.  If the goal was to improve...

Bands or tunnel-like appearance of the neck after Liposuction is sometimes seen temporarily and it usually goes away. if its not better at 12-mon follow-up then your doctor might consider a small surgical procedure to sever these bands.
