Chin Liposuction For Double Chin? Normal Weight, Naturally Round Face? (photo)

Question

hi, im 5ft 6" and have never weighed over 135lbs in my life, but, despite being in a normal weight range i have a double chin, of sorts. my face is naturally round but lots of people have round faces and no double chin. my face tends to look normal from the front, but i have the worst profile thanks to my big chin, also smiling tends to make my chin look absolutely revolting. would getting liposuction on my chin be applicable? what cost would i be looking at?

From your photo it looks like liposuction of your neck and chin area will yield good results. There are photos on the link below which may help you understand what kind of results are possible with submental liposuction

Pictured is a young attractive female with obliquity in the neck most likely the result of selective fat distribution. Liposuction of the chin under local anesthesia should yield an excellent result.

Thank you for your photo.  It appears that you are young and if by exam you have a reasonable amount of fat beneath your chin then liposuction could be beneficial.  Consult with a BC PS for a definitive recommendation.

Chin liposuction may be appropriate and may make a nice improvement. The problem is that there are other things in the neck that need to be evaluated including the underlying muscle and fat underneath that muscle. Liposuction can only remove the fat above the muscle.

From your photo, you do appear to be a candidate for liposuction of your neck and under your chin. An evaluation in person would be needed to know for sure, but it seems as if the procedure could be beneficial to you. The cost is going to vary from surgeon to surgeon, but typically, it is not a relatively expensive procedure.
