I have scheduled the surgery for a chin implant in a few weeks. I also have a double chin when I look down slightly, so the doctor suggested neck lipo. I have read further about the procedure. It seems in some articles chin and neck lipo are same thing but other articles seem to make a distinction between the two. I would like to not have a double chin and have a more pronounced jaw line. Which type of lipo do I need to achieve this?

Answer: Chin lipo versus neck lipo? For some doctors the two are interchangeable. However, removing fat from only under the chin and providing for a better defined jawline are really two different entities. Via very small insertion sites under each ear lobe, liposuction can be done to provide for a better defined jawline that is very hard to achieve through only an incision under the chin. Look at before and afters with your doctor and discuss what you wish to achieve. Take care and good luck.

Answer: Chin Liposuction versus Neck Liposuction Thank you for your question. Chin liposuction and Neck Liposuction are similar.Chin liposuction is usually limited to the submental fat pad, while neck liposuction encompasses more of the entire anterior neck. To be sure, see two or more experienced, board-certified Plastic Surgeons for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have surgery. I hope this helps.
