It's Been Three Months Since my Chin Lipo, is This my Final Result? (photo)

In the grand scheme of things, having a non-result is much better than have had too much fat removed.  Although the technical details of performing neck liposuction are very straight forward, one still has to have a sculptor's eye to know how much fat needs to be removed and from what areas the fat needs to be removed.  Some inexpereinced liposuction surgeons (and they are hard to discern from expereinced liposuction surgeons because all surgeons beat their chest and say how I am, er they are) sometimes are very concrete about what areas they are treating.  Your photos do suggest that a time bit of fat was removed just under the chin.  However, a chin liposuction is not really a chin liposuction.  It needs to be a chin, neck, lower face liposution to get a great result.  What one is doing is removing fat to define the jaw line.  This should start back just below the ear lobes and define the volume at the neck/jaw line to sculpt this separation.  I am not sure I can recommend going back to the original doc for more work.  Bear in mind that this type of surgery can be performed in an office setting very comfortably under local anesthesia with virtually no down time.  Many patients have the procedure on a thursday and by Monday, no one knows they just had surgery.

At three months after a chin lipo, one should have a very good idea of what the final result will be.  The images provided are not really clear so it is difficult to judge your results.  You may have some residual swelling from the procedure.  A simple way to evaluate for persistent swelling is to pinch the soft in the operated area between your fingers - if it feels normal without areas of firmness then the swelling is gone.  Discuss your concerns with your surgeon to get his/her input.  Good luck!
