Gaining weight after jaw liposuction?

As you discovered, liposuction does not prevent weight gain. Go ahead and lose the weight. If you wind up with any lose skin, consider radiofrequency treatments.

Significant weight gain or loss can impact the way the jawline appears. If you intend to lose 20kg there is a good chance you will notice a difference in your jawline. I encourage you to complete your weight loss journey first and then decide if you want to proceed with further liposuction to the jaw area.

Thanks so much for your question,

Weight fluctuations can definitely impact the appearance of the jawline, as excess fat can return in that area, but the results will depend on your unique skin elasticity and how your body responds to weight loss.

If you lose the 20 kg, there’s a chance your jawline could improve significantly, especially if you return to a similar body weight as when you first had the procedure. However, if the skin has lost elasticity due to the weight gain and loss, or if the fat has redistributed unevenly, the jawline may not fully return to the post-lipo look on its own.

In some cases, a second round of jaw lipo or other treatments like skin tightening procedures might be needed. It’s best to consult with your plastic surgeon after you’ve lost the weight to assess your options and determine if additional treatments are necessary.

Sincerely,
