Chin lipo: Hoping for fat to be mostly removed. How do I find a doctor suitable for me? (photos)

Question

I was considering chin lipo but after seeing the results (along with many other before & afters that look similar) I’m doubtful. For the cost I’d hope for the fat to be mostly removed. Are my expectations unrealistic? If not how do I find a doctor who can help define my jawline, remove my double chin & potentially jowls too.Most pages I go to don’t have many chin-lipo pictures, so it’s hard to know who will provide results.

Liposuction is intended to remove all fat in a desired area. It can target the area below the chin, around the jawline, neck, and the pre-jowls as well. When selecting a provider, it is important to make sure that they are board certified and specialize in the area you want to target. You want someone who performs chin liposuctions often! With an experienced provider, there is usually a vast difference in before and after photos of chin liposuction that would ensure you that your expectations are realistic.

Dear Plucky76076,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would benefit from chin liposuction. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Hello, thanks for your question and photos. You are a great candidate for Chin Liposuction. The procedure will eliminate fat in the chin and neck and beautifully stretch your skin using J-Plasma. You'll get excellent results. Consult a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area for a complete exam. Good luck!

Hi. According to your photo , the cause of your double chin is from 2 factors. First, subcutaneous fat that can correct by liposuction. Second, the thin/sagging skin that can correct by using laser tightening. HERS clinic uses necktite technology to correct these.

From the photographs presented come are you appeared to have fat deposits located both above and below the platysma muscle in the neck. Liposuction can only remove fat deposits above the muscle, while a surgical neck lift is required to remove the fat deposits below the platysma muscle which also includes a platysma-plasty.  The platysma-plasty significantly improves the jawline.
