What can I do to correct bulge after chin liposuction? (photo)

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello, hope you are well. There are two layers of neck fat: superficial and deep. Submental "chin" liposuction can effectively reduce the superficial subcutaneous fat layer, but not the deep layer. The reason lipo is failing is likely because the problem is in the deep layer, which is best addressed via a surgical approach with a small incision under the chin. You do not require a full facelift or lateral incisions around the ears. Further liposuction will at best lead to more disappointment, and at worst cause complications from excessive defatting of the skin (visible rippling, dimpling, and texture problems of the skin). Feel free to setup a virtual consultation with me at The Spiegel Center to discuss further. Cheers!
Best,Dr. Tower

It's very important to understand that there are two compartments of fat in the neck, and they are located both above and below the platysma muscle in the neck. Liposuction can only accomplish removal the fat deposits above the muscle. A surgical neck lift it Is required to remove the fat deposits below the muscle which also includes a platysma plasty to significantly improve the jawline.

Almost 100% of people seeking chin and neck liposuction have a primary issue relating to having a small mandible in relationship to the Maxilla. When the mandible is small or lacks in projection, the underlying platysma muscle drapes the neck in a more oblique fashion. Having had two rounds of liposuction it’s pretty clear the problem is most likely not related to access subcutaneous fat. The primary issue is directly related to bone structure, and this affects how the underlying tissues drape the neck causing certain contour issues people don’t like. Simply augmenting the chin does not move it forward and has a little impact on the underlying platysma muscle. A neck lift does tighten the muscle.
Getting a quality assessment is sometimes fairly complex because there are many tissue variables involved the most important being bone structure. Other tissues that can be of concern include as previously mentioned, the platysma muscle, subcutaneous fat, skin laxity, Sub-platysmal fat, and submandibular salivary glands.
To make an assessment of the outcome of a plastic surgery procedure we generally always need to see proper before and after pictures. If you don’t have before, and after pictures then and ask your surgeon to forward the ones they took.

Hello, I would recommend a new liposuction with the use of technology to contract the skin, otherwise it would be a facelift and from what I see you are a very young person, I hope I can help you
