Is neck liposuction possible when obese?

February 20, 2018
Asked By:missmakeupgrrl in Melbourne, FL

Im plus size (5ft6, 250 pounds) and unhappy with my double chin. I wanted to know if I would be a feasible candidate to have chin liposuction? I really dislike what I see in the mirror. I exercise regularly, don't smoke, rarely drink and apart from weight would be considered otherwise healthy. Many attempts at weight loss have failed.

Cannot pull down lower lip after chin lipo, could this become permanent?
Nicholas Husni, MD, PhD, FACS says:

Thanks for your question.  The marginal mandibular nerve lies right underneath the mandible in most people, and can possibly be injured during submental (chin) liposuction procedures. This is the nerve that pulls a lip down and helps you frown.  If you can and cannot do this on...
