Would chin lipo be enough or would I need a neck or facelift also? (Photos)

Question

Looking to get chin lipo. Do you all think a neck or face lift is also something thag would be necessary? Went to one Dr for a consult and did not have a great vibes. did kybella 6-7 years ago with good succes but gained weight as that was prebabies. Thank uou!

Dear Melissaann, 
Definitely, not a facelift at this point.  The best treatment is weight loss.  Then after you have lost a lot of weight, if you have loose skin or saggy neck, you can consider liposuction and skin tightening and a non-incision suture suspension necklift like MyEllevate.

Dear Melissaann71,

it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. 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.

This depends on one key factor:
➡️ Is the issue fat or skin laxity?

If:

mostly fat → chin lipo can work well
loose skin present → lipo alone may worsen the look
Clue:

If skin doesn’t snap back when lifted → you likely need more than lipo

My approach:
Start conservative, but don’t under-treat—because revision is harder than doing it right the first time.
