Would Vaser liposuction be worth it for me on chin?

Question

Is vaser - or any - lipo worth it for me? I'm 30, healthy, currently at a low bmi with around 12% body fat. For the past 2 years I've been anxious about by growing double chin. When looking straight ahead it is relatively okay, but as soon as I start to look the slightest bit down, the skin sags and bunches under the chin. I'm aware there are other reasons such as receeded chin, overbite, weak jaw etc. But here, would a a small amount of lipo benefit me? or am I paranoid?

From your photo it appears your chin and neck are in proportion to your face.  I don't think liposuction would be of significant benefit.  We recommend Morpheus8 treatments which help improve overall skin tone and texture.  We also recommend using medical grade skin care products and wearing sunscreen every day.

Dear Aguy544924,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would benefit from chin augmentation. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Everybody catches signs of age in the mirror from time to time.

Your pictures are excellent and based on those I think you’re Jaw Line and facial definition is just fine.

You probably don’t have much fat to remove it so the impact would be pretty minimal.

Facial hair does a good job of augmenting the chin for those who are a little lacking in that area

The facial hair also makes it a little challenging to make an accurate assessment despite posting excellent pictures.

On the forward gaze profile picture the submental area is parallel with the ground and does not show signs of a double chin.

Everyone is going to bunch up the skin when the neck is flexed. This is just like the lower abdomen in a sitting position.

I don’t think you need liposuction and I don’t think it would do all that much for you.

My best advice is spend less time looking at yourself in the mirror and focus your gaze on more important things in life.

At 12% body fat there really isn’t much fat to remove in your case.

Best,
