I'm a 30 year old female. I have had a double chin since the day I was born and it's always been there (before I got older and gained weight, 240lbs) I do know that the fat will come back based on diet, but I have lost weight previously (20 pounds) and it has never gotten smaller. I'm wondering if I would be a good candidate based on the amount of fat and the type of fat I have there. Double chins are genetic in my family.
Answer: A combination of chin liposuction followed by morpheus8 and ultherapy can help achieve your goal Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

Answer: Improve, not eliminate Thank you for the questions. liposuction would decrease the size of your double chin for sure. However, it may leave you with skin laxity depending on how much your skin contracts/shrinks after the procedure. There is a high chance you would need a necklift to remove the extra skin to have a nice appearing result and minimize the double chin appearance.

Answer: Would chin liposuction, minimize the appearance of my genetic double chin You have extensive fat deposits in the neck, located both above and below the platysma muscle. Liposuction can only accomplish removal of the fat deposits above the muscle, which will be only partially effective. A surgical neck lift procedure accomplishes removal of the fat deposits below the muscle, which also includes a platysma plasty to significantly improve the jawline in addition to liposuction above the fat above the muscle. For best results, your BMI needs to be below 32 in order to proceed.

Answer: Would chin liposuction minimize the appearance of my genetic double chin? Nicely posted photos. Yes chin, neck liposuction (under local anesthesia with IV sedation or light LMA general anesthesia)could improve the appearances. But weight loss would also greatly help. Expect fees in the $5,000 ranges. Best to in person or virtual consult with...

Answer: Who gets a double chin? The great majority of individuals seeking treatment for a double chin at a young age, typically have a facial, skeletal imbalance with a mandible that is small in relationship to their maxilla. Almost 100% of people seeking this procedure will have a dental occlusion overbite. On profile pictures the upper lip will have more forward projection than the lower lip. The facial, skeletal imbalance is usually the primary underlying reason rather than fat distribution. In your pictures it looks like this is the case for you as well. You also have a substantial amounts of subcutaneous, fat and skin laxity. because the problem is multi factorial any treatment that only treats a single variable, especially treatments that don’t treat the primary underlying cause will give partial improvements at best. Well done Liposuction can give a big improvement but will still leave you with skin laxity and the same genetic bone structure that causes a premature double chin. And neck lift 6 to 12 months after well done liposuction would be the ideal treatment. Alternatively, you could have a neck lift with Liposuction combined. Addressing bone structure issue as well but most people are generally not willing to have jaw advancement surgery.
