After getting chin and neck liposuction, how long do I have to wait if I decide to do it again?

Question

If I'm not happy with my results and I'd like my face to be slimmer, how soon can I retouch my face? I would like to do it as soon as possible.

Thanks for sharing.  The results from neck and chin lipo will continue to evolve for several months.  The skin needs to contract during this time frame so it is best to wait and see the end result before trying again.  I would recommend waiting at least 6 months but ideally even close to a year.  Consult with your surgeon again or get a second opinion when you are closer to these time frames.  Best of luck.

In my opinion, it would be best to allow full healing from liposuction of the chin/neck before performing the procedure again.  People heal differently, so this could take just a few months or up to a year.
