Chin Liposculpture + Fractional Co2 Laser Peeling Wise Combination?

Question

Consider a chin/neck liposculpture and I would like to combi this with a Fractional co2 laser or a upper eyelid surgery. Would the chin/neck strap (wearing 1-2 weeks: 24/7) not be very annoying for the Fractionated C02 skin after the combined 2 treatments? Are there other discomort when combining 1 of the 2 with eachother? I would like to go for a time/money saving combi, but which one would be wise?

Yes, the compression garment will likely cover some of the lased areas over your outer cheeks but this shouldn't be an issue as long as you keep the area well moisturized. You can also place a gauze pad between the garment and your moisturized skin.

Facial laser resurfacing and chin liposuction can be performed together.  Upper eyelid surgery can be performed as well.  Kenneth Hughes, MD liposculpture Los Angeles, CA

Liposuction and laser resurfacing can be combined together safely if performed by someone familiar with the techniques.  If this is the first time your surgeon has performed them together then I would be very hesitant to proceed.

	 

	I combine laser liposuction undermining of the neck and face combined with the CO2 resurfacing for what I call a laser facelift.  This is as close as you can get to a facelift without having a facelift.  Eyelid surgery can be performed at the same time as well.

Chin liposuction / liposculpture can be combined with CO2 laser resurfacing. This should not be an issue. However, you will need to keep your face moist as suggested by your plastic surgeon and prevent the dressing or elastic neck "strap" from rubbing your resurfaced skin. There are many dressings available to do this.Stephen Weber MD, FACS

I can see no problem with doing both of these together.  On the other hand, speaking from someone who had done many thousand eyelid procedures in his career, I think the results of fractional laser to the upper eyelids is going to be very marginal at best and totally ineffective at worst.  Sorry for this honest answer to your question.
