I would like a very defined jawline, and to do so I would like to get rid of the excess fat around it (I've tried botox for the masseter muscle and didn't like the results, I don't want it thinner, just defined). For coolsculpting I was told I do not have enough fat because it was not pinch-able. Are there dangers to liposuctioning the jaw and chin if there is very little fat?
Answer: Chin lip and skin tightening That is a question that is often asked. In some cases limited liposuction is performed below the chi and along the jaw, but to improve overall contour I would recommend either Thermi or laser liposuction to tighten the skin. Both these procedures use heat to destroy fat and/or tighten skin. If there is truly an excess of skin, a short incision facelift and really improve the jawline and provide some lift to the midface. A thorough evaluation would be necessary to determine what is best in your case. Good luck

Answer: Neck and chin liposuction if there is barely enough fat to pinch If there is very little fat present, liposuction of the neck and chin area would not produce any discernible improvement. Liposuction will only remove fat, so if there is very little there, it will not make much difference. An examination of you would be needed to determine if liposuction might be of benefit to you or not.

Answer: Chin liposuction Dear BrittE2,it is impossible to tell without a photo or examination. If the excess fat tissue s the problem, then it can be solved with a liposuction. I would recommend you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Can you get neck and chin liposuction if there is barely enough fat to pinch? There are fat deposits located both above and below the platysma muscle in the neck, so it's important to determine that at the time of the consultation and examination. A surgical neck lift is required to remove the fatty deposits below the platysma muscle in addition to a platysma plasty. No skin removal is required in patients, as long as the skin tone is acceptable.

Answer: Can you get neck and chin liposuction if there is barely enough fat to pinch? Hi, I have performed many facial shaping procedures using dermal fillers, silastic facial implants (cheek, chin), liposuction and/or facelifts for over 30 years. Non smiling photos of your face from the front and side would help in the evaluation. If there's very little excess fat below the chin liposuction will make "very little" to no change. It might be that your chin and or the back portion of the jaw line itself is weak. I have performed many Chin Augmentations using chin implants for over 30 years. When the chin is weak, this creates an imbalance making the nose appear larger, the mid face top heavy and the lower face look short that de-emphasizes the lips and allows early formation of a double chin. Chin augmentation using a chin implant will add projection to the chin creating harmony and balance to the lower face.
