How long should I wait after chin liposuction before using Botox in the area?

Question

I have two bands that have appeared after chin lipo. They are dynamic when I talk. How long should I wait before I try Botox? I also have a divot between the bands that I don’t think will completely smooth out even if the bands recede. Is renueva an option sometimes used for indents, or just fat grafting?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

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.

Thank you for your question. Botox can be administered at any time following chin liposuction. It's a great solution for minimizing the appearance of neck bands by reducing the associated muscle activity. It may be best to see how Botox affects the divot you’re referring to before considering another treatment, though dermal filler or fat grafting can restore volume and fill hollow areas.

I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon or expert injector. They will be able to review your surgical history, assess your concerns, and determine the treatment that may be right for you.

After chin lipo, you can use botox anytime, even the day of the procedure. Best of luck.
