The neck lift, buccal fat removal, and chin implant or the 2 BBLs first?

Question

I plan on having a deep plane neck lift, buccal fat removal and a chin implant. I also plan on having two BBLs done, where I might have to gain a bit of weight in between the two BBLs, but I’m not sure. What procedures should I get done first? The neck lift, buccal fat removal, and chin implant or the two BBLs? If I had to gain 5 or 10 pounds for a second BBL, would the weight gain affect my neck lift results?

Hello! The order of the surgeries does not really matter, it is somewhat difficult to see the features of your body because there are no photos, which would affect the opinion a little, anyway, even if it does not affect the order, it would be good to go first for  the BBL and when it finishes the recovery, proceed with the next surgery.

It's all about priorities and your personal goals.

It really does not matter which procedures come first or last. General anesthesia for your surgical procedures should be separated a month apart. A 5 to 10 pound weight gain will not affect your neck lift procedure.
In our practice, a deep plane neck lift involves removal of fat deposits above the platysma muscle with liposuction, addition to removal of the fat deposits underneath the muscle surgically.  A platysma plasty is also performed significantly improve the jawline. Placement of a chin plan is performed to augment the recessive chin forward for better facial balance, and proportions.
