I tried chin exercises specifically chin ups, and I ended up overworking the platysma muscle/ chin muscles. I stopped 6 months ago, and The muscles have been slightly sore/tight ever since. Can I still do the procedure? Or should I get physical therapy, and try to get rid of the tightness/ soreness first. I want the procedure to get rid of my double chin.

Answer: Chin Liposuction The chin or neck exercises will not, and can not improve the neck contour, or eliminate bands or sagging, or get rid of a double chin. Dieting and being in good health can improve a heavy or double chin. The soreness or the exercises would not interfere with liposuction, and it may be an option. Please consult with an experience facial plastic surgeon to discuss your options.

Answer: Fat in the right places Yes you can go ahead with this procedure.The muscles of the neck and tongue in conjunction with the only free floating bone in the body (the hyoid bone) are the limitations of what you are trying to obtain so it was worth a shot trying to tighten them. After palpating that bone and those muscles you could get a better idea of what can be obtained.This area can have persistent fat in even very thin patients. So it is all about having fat in the right places. Sometimes we even move this fat to another area to help define the jawline or cheekbones. If you are not interested in moving the fat then we can use fillers such as restylane of juvederm to give some definition along with sculpting the jawline and neck. We would need to do a good physical exam on you to determine exactly but we typically remove that layer of fat beneath the skin and allow the skin to fibrose to the muscle of the neck. It is not uncommon to combine this procedure with other fat sculpting techniques such as buccal fat removal.
