Gaining weight after jaw liposuction?

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,

It is very likely that your jawline will go back to how you appreciated it following your jaw liposuction when you get back to your weight at the time of lipo.

Hello, It is Dr.Hong from Fresh PS Clinic, S.Korea Seoul. Unfortunately, it does not work like this. In most cases like yours (gained 8kgs after jaw lipo when I was already overweight), re-op becomes a solution. So, in order get best result, I would recommend to lose weight as much as possible first and undergo liposuction again.
Hope my answer will help^^Best RegardsDr.Hong

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.

Gaining weight after jaw liposuction can affect the results, as fat cells in other areas can expand, potentially altering the contour of your jawline. While the liposuction permanently removes fat cells in the targeted area, the remaining fat cells can still grow with significant weight gain.
Losing the 20 kg could help restore some of your jawline definition. As the fat reduces, your facial features may become more prominent, potentially bringing your jawline closer to its post-lipo appearance. However, the final result depends on various factors, including how your body stores fat and where it tends to lose fat first.
In some cases, patients do see a return of their defined jawline after weight loss. However, if the fullness persists or your jawline doesn’t return to how it looked post-lipo, a follow-up liposuction procedure might be needed to refine the contour. Consulting with a plastic surgeon will provide guidance and help you explore all available options.

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.

Hello, darling! If you decide to lose weight, it will help you to have a better-defined double chin, and the deposits that caused a deformity, such as saddlebags, will not come back like before. To prevent the jaw from gaining weight again, follow a healthy diet and also practice neck exercises. Good luck!

Individuals who gain weight after Liposuction will generally have a lower level of patient satisfaction with the outcome of the procedure.
Weight loss will often improve the outcome.
If you’re overweight, then I suggest focusing on losing weight.
Time also affects what the results will look like.
