Am I a good candidate for chin lipo? (Photo)

P
Philosophical16649Oct 6, 2023

(22, Asian/white female) Another doctor has mentioned that due to my bone structure and overbite dental occlusion, I may not be able to achieve my desired result as the true correct diagnosis is not related to fat distribution, but bone structure. I have gotten chin fillers before, which have significantly improved my side profile, but I would like a more defined jawline (and while i know that chin lipo will not address this, but my jowls as well). Any advice is appreciated.

Hi celebrated. This is entirely up to you. Some people can handle pain no problems and other people cannot. I tell all of my patients that if you do this surgery awake, you need to be prepared for the burning feeling of the lidocaine, the sounds/smells/dripping, and you will still feel tugging...

Yes, it is safe. You just need a little nick, and the incision is almost irrelevant. Best of luck !
