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

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.

Hello, in general I'd suggest trying to reach your goal weight before seeking chin lipo or other cosmetic surgery.  Not only might your problem improve somewhat, but the surgeon will be able to determine if there are other issues like loose skin.

 Thank you for your pictures. In my opin, you need to allow this to heal for the next six months. It does not appear that you are a great candidate were a great candidate for Eric liposuction. You may need a neck lift prior to some modest weight loss.
