Should I get revision liposuction? Fat has returned to chin area (photos)

Question

My plastic surgeon did chin lipo 4 years ago and I was happy with results for 2 years. These past 2 years the fat has returned or at least it looks like fat to me...is this really possible to gain this much fat in this area after initial liposuction? Or is it a "possible reaction to the lipo laser" that was used during my lipo like my Dr says it is? He says I 'll never lose this chin fat even though I've lost 20 lbs this year. He will do it again for "free" If I add on more lipo to another area.

Chin Liposuction and Thermitight
Chin liposuction helps reduce the bulge under the chin and can be done for the whole neck. Once the fat is removed the skin can become loose and saggy in some cases. It can be avoided by combining it with Thermitight which is a radiofrequency heat delivered under the skin to tighten it. Both chin liposuction and Thermitight can be done at the same time. The recovery is fast and it can be done under local anesthesia.

Dear Rainsapphre1,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photo, it looks like you would benefit from chin liposuction. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

We need to see standard before and after pictures to judge the outcomes of a procedure. Standard pictures means standing in a neutral stance without facial expression.

It’s also important to know if you have gained weight since the procedure.

Secondary Liposuction typically does not deliver nearly as much of an improvement as the primary procedure.

Best,
