Would chin liposuction deliver noticeable results? It the amount of fat too small? (photos)

Question

Hi! I’m in my late 20s and have a small amount of fat under my chin. I was wondering if liposuction of area would provide a noticeable improvement or if the amount of fat is too small. I have had chin filler previously.

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

A non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy 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. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

​I find that VASER liposuction in combination with Renuvion or ThermiRF are best for contouring the chin in those who are candidates, but Kybella can be used as an alternative and gets better results when combined with Thermage/Ultherapy/Exilis, TruSculpt iD, or Coolsculpting. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer​

Generally, I prefer both chin and jawline liposuction simultaneously to provide better definition and contour. You have a nice contour to your jawline but a small amount of fat is noted beneath your chin. Another option id Kybella treatments but I usually recommend liposuction.

Tanveer Janjua, MD · Answer

In cases of very little fat under the chin, injection of Kybella can make a big difference. For more aggressive treatment Chin Liposuction with Thermitight would be the choice.
Chin Liposuction and Thermitight
Chin liposuction helps reduce the bulge under the chin and can be done for the whole neck. Once the fat is removed the skin can become loose and saggy in some cases. It can be avoided by combining it with Thermitight which is a radiofrequency heat delivered under the skin to tighten it. Both chin liposuction and Thermitight can be done at the same time. The recovery is fast and it can be done under local anesthesia.

Dear hf7zj,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
