What procedure is better for the chin: Smart Lipo or traditional lipo? Which one has better results?

Question

Emmanuel De La Cruz, MD · Answer

Hello cheeti,
I appreciate your questions! I would recommend you getting facial contouring with FaceTite to get rid of excess fat under your chin and tighten your skin, attaining outstanding and long-lasting results. FaceTite is a leading-edge, one-hour contouring solution procedure for the face and small areas of the body that helps patients achieve results similar to a facelift without excisional surgery. With FaceTite and BodyTite, patients who would prefer to avoid surgery and general anesthesia, can remove excess body and facial fat without leaving behind saggy, wrinkly skin. Recovery time required for these procedures is remarkably short (24-48 hours), and also pain-free, relative to traditional lipolysis methods. Using radio-frequency (RF) technology, the surgeon places a small probe beneath the skin that heats the tissues causing them to contract and tighten. Furthermore, FaceTite can be combined with liposuction in the jowls and neck areas to attain more contouring and a more overall youthful appearance. An experienced plastic surgeon can assist you with your decision about potential areas for sculpting and anticipated results. Kind regards! Dr. De La Cruz.

This is difficult to answer without pictures. For best results, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermiRF and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Smart Lipo laser and/or Vaser ultrasound liposuction easily remove stubborn chin/neck fat and tighten skin enhancing neck and jawline. This can be done under local and is a very quick procedure. Traditional liposuction removes fat but is not recommended since it does not tighten skin. Neither will address neck bands or jowls.An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon who performs these procedures is recommended to confirm you are a candidate as well as discuss your options and expectations.

Traditional liposuction is the most predictable and effective always in my opinion, but for smaller areas Smart Lipo can be effective. Of course, for smaller areas you may benefit from fat freezing or in some cases even Kybella.A photo is helpful!  For any of these it's a brief office visit procedure.

Marco A. Pelosi III, MD, FACOG, FACS · Answer

If your chin is loose and saggy, no type of lipo will make it pretty. The best candidates have tight skin and tight fat. Laser or regular lipo will both give excellent results if your surgeon is skilled. If your surgeon is unskilled, your results will be suboptimal with either approach with the added risk of getting a skin burn with the laser.
