Wondering which procedure would be better for removing hereditary submental fat. Adult female, 41yo, 5'2, 125lbs. No loose skin (barely even any fine lines on my face) and often told I look much younger than my age. Have had this submental fat even in my 20s at the weight of 100lbs.
Answer: It depends. 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

Answer: Chin Lipo vs Neck Lift 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.

Answer: Both 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.

Answer: Chin liposuction versus neck lift 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.
