I am 38 and would like to get pregnant within the next 3-6 months. Can I have the chin liposuction done shortly before getting pregnant? If I had it done, would my "double chin" come back with the pregnancy and negate the effects of the chin liposuction? Also, if I don't go under anesthesia for the procedure, is there any possibility of harming a future pregnancy by having the procedure done shortly before getting pregnant?

Answer: No problem with liposuction of the chin before getting pregnant. Liposuction of the chin and neck is generally performed with local anesthesia. There should be no problem with attempted pregnancy immediately after the procedure.

Answer: Chin liposuction before becoming pregnant It is acceptable to undergo chin liposuction, but make sure you give yourself some time to heal before becoming pregnant. A double chin can be created from either sub-platysmal fatty deposits, or sub mental fatty deposits which is best determined at the time of examination and consultation. Local anesthesia can be employed for simple liposuction of the neck, however a neck lift will require general anesthetic which removes both fatty deposits and includes a platysma plasty. Fat cells are dynamic with weight gain and loss, and once the fatty deposits have been removed from the neck, less fullness will be gained in the neck when patients gain weight.
