I've read in many places that they say you should be your ideal weight before lipo but I'm no where near that. I've been in the 220's for about almost 2 years now (5'5 ft), fluctuating sometimes 215-230 but I think it's water weight. I've always been overweight my whole life and I know it's not an excuse but I don't think it will be changing any time soon. Do you think it would be ok for me to under go lipo in the chin/neck area? Will a doctor say no? I've been wanting this for almost a year now
Answer: Chin Liposuction Thank you for your question about chin liposuction. There are several different procedures that would be beneficial to you. The surgical option would be chin liposuction. This would use suction to remove the fat. The second and nonsurgical option would be Kybella. Kybella is the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment that physically destroys fat cells to improve the appearance of moderate to severe fat beneath the chin – also known as submental fullness or “double chin.” Once destroyed, those cells can no longer store or accumulate fat.

Answer: Chin/Neck Lipo On Someone Overweight The most important decision to be made before performing any surgical procedure is determining whether you are an ideal #candidate. #Age is not so much a factor as much as #weight, and more specifically body mass index (BMI), are for determining. For instance, studies have shown that patients with BMI > 30kg/m sq (placing them in the obese category) have a higher complication rate. Therefore, it is important for patients to be as close as possible to their normal body weight prior to surgery.It is important to understand, liposuction is NOT a method of #weight loss or an alternative to diet and exercise. It does not affect one's metabolism. It is usually recommended that patients who have recently experienced weight loss and massive weight loss (#MWL) remain consistent at their weight for at least six to twelve months prior any cosmetic surgery. Such will better ensure longer lasting results of the procedure without risking the fluctuation and stretching of the skin tissue. If you experience weight gain, pregnancies, or any other drastic body altering changes following #liposuction, it is very possible the results may be compromised. Hence, it is usually recommended that patients who have recently experienced weight loss and massive weight loss (#MWL) remain consistent at their weight for at least six to twelve months prior any cosmetic surgery. Such will better ensure longer lasting results of the procedure without risking the fluctuation and stretching of the skin tissue.

Answer: Liposuction and a chin implant at your ideal body weight It is very important to be at your ideal body weight before undergoing liposuction in the neck. Liposuction is designed to remove diet resistant fat, once you are at your ideal body weight. Consider a chin implant to help with facial balance and proportions due to the weak and recessive chin profile present.

Answer: Chin / Neck Liposuction Thanks for your post. Yes, I actually think you would be a great candidate for this procedure. I think you'd get a nice improvement in contour. Keep in mind that this is a 3-6 month process to get to the end results. I hope that helps answer your question a little.
