6'3, 245 & lost 100+lbs 2 yrs ago, surgeon recommended chin liposuction with FaceTite

Question

Hi, I am interested in treating my doublechin and improving my jawline. At my consultation the Dr said I have some submental fat, but a fair amount of extra skin from the weight loss and suggested lipo & facetite. I just wanted some opinions on if those treatments do seem like my best course or if I should pursue something more advanced. He did say I have extremely healthy skin and would not even offer a necklift because he believes the aforementioned treatments would be enough. Thank You

Congratulations on your impressive weight loss!  If you have good skin elasticity you should have nice results from FaceTite with liposuction.  You can consider adding Morpheus8 treatments to optimize your results.  This addresses overall skin tone and texture.  Typically 3 treatments are recommended for best results.

Hello, hope you are well. I think you would get a good result with the plan that was outlined by your surgeon. Some of the fullness under the chin is also likely from musculature (anterior digastric muscles) and deep subplatysmal fat. If that's the case, a neck lift with a small incision under the chin would be required to get the best contour possible. A physical exam would be needed to differentiate how much of the fat is subcutaneous (superficial) versus subplatysmal (deep). Good luck!
Best,Dr. Tower

I think that it is possible that you could obtain a good result with liposuction under your chin and FaceTite, but I also think that it is possible that just liposuction alone could give you a good result.  The skin normally will re-contour after liposuction and this may be enough to give you the result you are looking for.
