Chin Lipo vs Neck Lift (Photo)

If the bulge underneath your chin is simply exercise resistant fat that you've had forever, indeed, neck liposuction may be considered for achieving an improvement in the appearance of your jawline. An examination is necessary to ensure that you do not have droopy submandibular salivary glands. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Hi. I would encourage you to look at liposuction of the neck and submental regions (directly underneath your chin. I feel you would get the best results at this time. You can always have a neck lift in the future. A neck lift is much more invasive and IMHO not warranted at this time based on your photos. Good luck.

Both options are good. The neck lipo will be faster/cheaper/easier recovery, the necklift will give you the more dramatic result and will last longer too.

Thank you for your question! For hereditary submental fat, also known as a double chin, there are a few effective options to consider given your profile.

Kybella: This is an injectable treatment that uses deoxycholic acid to break down fat cells under the chin. It’s a non-surgical option that can yield significant results with minimal downtime. Multiple sessions may be needed, but many patients appreciate the gradual improvement.

Liposuction: If you prefer a more immediate and defined outcome, submental liposuction is a surgical option that can effectively remove excess fat. Since you mentioned you have no loose skin, you might be a good candidate for this procedure.

CoolSculpting: This non-invasive fat-freezing technique can also target submental fat and may work well for your situation. It's effective for those who want a non-surgical option but might require multiple sessions.

Each option has its benefits and considerations, so it would be beneficial to discuss your specific goals and preferences in detail.

The photographs presented are rather limited, but it does appear that you have fat deposits located both above and below the platytsma muscle in your neck. Liposuction can only accomplish fat removal above the muscle, while a surgical neck lift removes the fat deposits above the muscle with liposuction and below the muscle with surgical extraction. The fat deposits below the muscle are genetic which creates that fullness, even at your ideal body weight. A platysma plasty is also performed at the same time to improve your jawline.
