Can chin fat bubble/extra squishy chin be removed? (Photos)

I'm sorry to hear about your experience with bullying. It's understandable that you would want to explore options to address something that's been a source of discomfort for you. There are several ways to address excess chin fat or a "squishy" chin. Here are some potential options:

### Non-Surgical Options
1. **Kybella (Deoxycholic Acid) Injections:**
- Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that destroys fat cells under the chin.
- Multiple treatments may be required to achieve the desired result.
- Minimal downtime, but there may be some swelling and discomfort post-treatment.

2. **CoolSculpting (Cryolipolysis):**
- CoolSculpting is a non-invasive procedure that uses controlled cooling to freeze and eliminate fat cells.
- Several sessions might be needed, and results can take a few months to become fully apparent.
- No surgery or downtime is typically required.

3. **Ultrasound or Radiofrequency Treatments:**
- These treatments use energy to target and reduce fat cells while tightening the skin.
- Procedures like Ultherapy or Thermage can be effective but may require multiple sessions.

### Surgical Options
1. **Liposuction:**
- Chin liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat from the chin and neck area.
- It provides more immediate and dramatic results compared to non-surgical options.
- Recovery time is typically longer, and there may be some swelling and bruising post-surgery.

2. **Facelift or Neck Lift:**
- In some cases, a facelift or neck lift can address excess skin and fat in the chin and neck area.
- These procedures are more invasive and involve a longer recovery period but can provide significant and long-lasting results.

### Lifestyle Changes
1. **Diet and Exercise:**
- While spot reduction of fat through diet and exercise alone is challenging, overall weight loss can sometimes reduce chin fat.
- Targeted exercises aimed at strengthening the neck and jaw muscles may help improve the appearance of the area.

### Consultation with a Specialist
It is essential to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist to discuss your concerns and determine the best course of action. They can assess your specific situation, provide detailed information on the potential risks and benefits of each option, and help you make an informed decision.

Remember, any medical procedure carries risks, and it's important to thoroughly research and understand these before proceeding. A qualified specialist can help you navigate these options and choose the treatment that aligns best with your goals and health needs.

I don’t think your chin has all that much over projection.
If anything, the body of your mandible is lacking in projection, even if the mentalis or chin region has slight Projection
I suggest you have a few in person consultations with oral surgeons in your community.
You can also talk to plastic surgeons. Both specialties contribute to this kind of work.
For quality assessment and better understanding of treatment options I have a slight preference for referring to oral surgeons.
in the end, it depends on each providers background and experience.
I don’t think there is a simple procedure to correct what your concern is.
This kind of work is actually fairly complex.
