I am considering a chin implant with liposuction of the neck. I am about 20 lbs over my ideal weight at the moment. Still haven't lost that baby weight one year later! Is it better to get to my ideal weight before I consult with a plastic surgeon, or does it really matter for this procedure? Thanks!

Answer: Chin implant and neck liposuction candidate It is best to be at your ideal body weight before electing to undergo neck liposuction. The goal of liposuction in the neck is to remove diet-resistant fat. It is important to be at your ideal body weight. The chin implant procedure can be performed either with the chin liposuction, or as a standalone procedure. Placement of a chin implant is less dependent on weight gain or loss, since it is a bony augmentation. For many before and after results of both chin implants and liposuction, please see the link and the video below

Answer: I am considering a chin implant with liposuction of the neck. I am about 20 lbs over my ideal weight at the moment. Hi, non smiling photos of your face from the front and side would help in the evaluation to determine the amount of excess fat in the neck. I have performed many Chin Augmentations using chin implants for over 30 years. A weak chin creates an imbalance making the nose appear larger, the mid face top heavy and the lower face look short that de-emphasizes the lips and allows early formation of a double chin. Chin augmentation using a chin implant will add projection to the chin creating harmony and balance to the lower face. I have found that placement of a silastic chin implant, through a small curved incision under the chin (also allows excess skin removal) to be very safe, quick, highly effective and far less invasive than a sliding genioplasty. I perform chin implant surgery in 30 minutes or less, often using a local anesthetic alone. Hope this helps.
