Would I be a good candidate for chin lipo? (Photo)

Question

I have excess submental fat and was wondering if I'd be able to get the fat liposuctioned or not. I've also lost weight, yet I couldn't get rid of my double chin.

Thank you for your inquiry! Looking at your photos, you would be a great candidate for Submental Liposuction as that takes away excess fullness. We would love to sit down with you and explore options to help you reach your goals. I recommend scheduling a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon like myself so we can create a surgical plan.

Hello, yes you are a good candidate for chin lipo, but there is really a little fat excess under your chin, thats why to make a significant change, i recommend an additional intervention like thread lift, or Jplasma, laser etc. for skin tightening. You may also consider a chin augmentation, either with filler (temporary) or implant (permanent)

Thank you for sharing your concern. Based on your description of excess submental fat, it sounds like chin liposuction could potentially be a good option for you. However, several factors need to be considered to determine if you are an ideal candidate for this procedure:

Skin Elasticity: Good skin elasticity is important for achieving optimal results from liposuction. If your skin can bounce back after the fat is removed, you'll likely see a more defined and contoured jawline.

Overall Health: Being in good general health is crucial for any surgical procedure. You should not have any underlying conditions that could complicate the surgery or the healing process.

Realistic Expectations: It's important to have realistic expectations about the outcomes of chin liposuction. While it can significantly improve your profile and reduce the appearance of a double chin, it may not completely eliminate it if other factors like genetics or skin laxity are at play.

Weight Stability: You mentioned that you have lost weight but still have a double chin. Maintaining a stable weight is important because significant weight fluctuations can affect the results of the procedure.

In addition to chin liposuction, there are other treatments that might be worth considering:

Kybella: This is an injectable treatment that dissolves fat cells in the submental area. It typically requires multiple sessions but is less invasive than surgery.
CoolSculpting: This non-invasive procedure uses controlled cooling to freeze and eliminate fat cells in the targeted area.
Ultherapy or Radiofrequency Treatments: These can help tighten the skin and improve the contour of the neck and jawline.
A consultation with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon is the best way to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for you. They can evaluate your specific situation, review your medical history, and discuss your aesthetic goals to recommend the best course of action.

I hope this information helps you in making an informed decision!

Best regards,

Chin and neck Liposuction can give it very good improvements in delivering a more defined jawline and reducing the double chin.The more subcutaneous fat someone has the more impressive the result can look.By far the most important variable is provider selection.Delivering consistent quality Liposuction results it’s more difficult than most people realize.The number of plastic surgeons who master this procedure is relatively small.It’s really important for patients to find the right provider.During in person consultations, ask each provider to open up their portfolio and show you their entire collection of before, and after pictures of the previous patients who had similar facial characteristics.A Sufficiently experienced provider should have an impressive collection of before, and after pictures to show you.To find the best provider have as many consultations as possible.Best,Mats Hagstrom MD
