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

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.

Even though you don't have a lot of fat, you still appear to be a good candidate for chin liposuction. This is because it can very specifically remove the small amount of fat that you are complaining of. Also, liposuction can contour the jawline and given an improved appearance, even if the actual amount of excess fat is small.

From the pictures it looks like you would be a great candidate for submental (chin) liposuction. In my practice I almost always pair this with a skin tightening procedure as well (I use FaceTite) because it is usually a combination of fat and skin and to get the best result I think addressing both is best. There is always a risk of contour issues with any liposuction procedure but a plastic surgeon who performs this often will know how to minimize the changes of this happening.

It appears that you are a candidate for chin liposuction. I usually recommend simultaneous jawline liposuction as well. In addition, sometimes I prefer to perform liposuction on the lower face as well.

Yes, we could do some liposuction there, but, radiofrequency liposuction (like facetite / necktite) is an office procedure that will also shrink the skin a bit. That would be my first recommendation based on your photos.

Thank you for your question! The double chin area is a common problem area. Here at my office, we perform chin/neck liposuction. We use a combination of liposuction techniques tailed for you to help contour your chin and neck. You may also be a candidate for filler. This will allow us to improve the contour of your jawline and chin. You may also benefit from fillers to help improve the contours of your face and jawline. For permanent chin augmentation chin implants can be inserted through a small incision under the chin. I suggest you make an appointment with a board-certified plastic surgeon who will examine you and go over your options and discuss potential results in detail.

Hey there - great question! Based on your photos, you would likely benefit from some liposuction to the area under your chin. It will also help to define your jawline to some degree. Best option would be to make an in-person consultation to evaluate specific areas that can be addressed. Hope that helps!
