Answer: Lipo on double chin? (Photo) Hi and thanks for your question. Liposuction of the neck and chin do not have an affect upon the TMJ so this procedure does not interfere with its function. Make sure you find a surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. Best of luck!Richard Chaffoo, MD, FACS, FICSTriple Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
