Chin lipo or skin tightening for conservative results? (Photos)

Chin liposuction helps reduce the bulge under the chin and can be done for the whole neck. Once the fat is removed the skin can become loose and saggy in some cases. It can be avoided by combining it with Thermitight which is a radiofrequency heat delivered under the skin to tighten it. Both chin liposuction and Thermitight can be done at the same time. The recovery is fast and it can be done under local anesthesia.

When considering options for addressing a small excess of fat under the chin, both liposuction and non-surgical treatments like Kybella or skin tightening procedures can be viable options, each with its own set of benefits and considerations. At 31, with presumably good skin elasticity, you have a few options to achieve a conservative result.

Chin Liposuction: This surgical option is effective for removing localized fat deposits and can provide precise contouring. Given your concern about a conservative result, liposuction can be tailored to remove just the right amount of fat. However, it's important to consider potential risks such as the prominence of platysmal bands or changes in facial contours, which can occur if too much fat is removed.

Kybella: This non-surgical injectable treatment gradually dissolves fat cells under the chin. It's a good option for those looking for a less invasive approach, although it typically requires multiple sessions to achieve desired results. The gradual nature of the treatment can lead to a more subtle and conservative outcome.

Skin Tightening Treatments: Options such as radiofrequency or ultrasound-based therapies can improve skin laxity and may be used alone or in conjunction with fat reduction techniques. These treatments can enhance skin firmness and contour without surgery.

Ultimately, the choice between these treatments depends on your specific anatomy, aesthetic goals, and how conservative you want the outcome to be. Consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist will provide you with a comprehensive evaluation and help determine the best approach for your needs. They can discuss the potential risks and benefits of each option, ensuring the aesthetic risks align with your desired results.
