Do I need chin liposuction or more? (Photo)

Question

I am a female, 29, 5’6” and 195lbs. I am considering getting chin liposuction but I am wondering if that will be all I need to look slimmer or if it will help at all.

Ultherapy is a non-invasive procedure that lifts the neck, chin and brow, and improves lines and wrinkles on the upper chest. As we age, collagen breaks down, resulting in loss of skin strength and elasticity. For tissue tightening, Ultherapy is ideal for the lower face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Morpheus8 to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity.

Thank you for your question. Based on your photos you appear to be a good candidate for Chin/Jaws Liposuction + Buccal fat removal or Bichectomy to get an slimmer face look. Also, to complete the facial harmonization you can get an small liposuction area and transfer fat to the Nasolabial folds + Undereyes to get a younger appearance.

Kind regards, Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Hi - these pictures don't help.  We'd need to see the area where liposuction is desired while you are at rest. The chin itself is not a place for liposuction. under the chin in the upper neck is a good place for liposuction, but we can't see that in your photos.  If it is actually your chin you dislike, there are many things that can be done for that.  By the way, these things are done right in the office.

When liposuction is done to the chin area, it is done underneath the chin to help with excess fat in the upper neck.  It is difficult to evaluate your upper neck with the photos you provided.  A picture of your face and neck from the side when you are not smiling would be helpful to determine if liposuction under the chin might help you.

Based on your pictures I see no indication for having Liposuction.
Liposuction has the potential of leaving people looking worse than they did before unless you are very carefully in selecting providers.
Facial fat should not be removed because it contributes to premature aging later in life.
Be careful of permanent irreversible contouring procedures that can leave people potentially looking worse.
There is significant discrepancy in skill when it comes to Liposuction even among well-trained highly regarded to plastic surgeons.
The number of plastic surgeons of truly mastered this procedure is relatively small.
There should be a good indication before choosing surgery.
I think you look great and see absolutely no reason for you to have Liposuction.
Facial aesthetics are primarily determined by bone structure. Soft tissue coverage tends to be very consistent from person to person.
Removing fat from a normal fat distribution can create undesirable side effects.
