Weight Loss Post Chin Lipo?

Question

My question is I have Allura appt scheduled but still plan on losing 20-40 pounds after. Regardless, I don't like the way my chin is now and even 30 pounds ago, i still had this double chin (maybe not as bad as now but still had it). So is it okay to proceed knowing that I would love to lose weight after? Also weight loss is easier said than done, been saying that for years. I want to ensure in the chance I ever do lose weight, I dont look saggy or gaunt. I'm 37 years old.

It is very important to post a full set of facial and neck photographs from all angles to make a determination about how best to proceed with the appropriate neck procedure. Probably best to post those pictures after your 20 to 40 pound weight loss. At 37 years old, your skin tone should be just fine. It's also important to understand that here are two compartments of fat in the neck, they're located both above and below the platysma muscle. Liposuction can only accomplish removal of the fat deposits above the muscle, while a surgical neck lift with a platysma– plasty is required to remove the fat compartment below the muscle.

For most people weight loss is a gradual process. I suggest taking pictures and comparing if you’re concerned about facial aesthetic impact of the weight loss.
Most people look and feel better being at an ideal weight.
