Can a chin lipo be performed at the same time as a facelift?

Question

How is chin lipo performed the same time as a facelift? And will the chin be bruised and tender afterwards? Wondering if it’s too much to do at once.

FaceTite can internally tighten the skin in the lower face and neck. After all the skin has been heated and contracted, we shape the neck with liposuction to give definition and remove stubborn pockets of fat. In one quick treatment, we can tighten skin, remove fat, and contour the lower face, jawline, and jowls with only a weekend of downtime.​  Keep in mind that combination approaches will give you a more significant improvement as opposed to a single procedure. I recommend getting a consultation with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Yes but you would have to be a candidate for both procedures, the best way to determine this is by having a consultation with your PS.

Liposuction is an integral part of a lower face and neck lift procedure, and accomplishes rejuvenating the neck. In our practice, the goal of a lower face and neck lift is to tighten loose facial and neck skin, tighten loose facial and neck muscles, lift the jowls, and remove fat deposits in the neck located both above and below the platysma muscle when present. We also perform a platysma-plasty in the neck as well

Dear Giving480511,
I understand your concern. It is best however that you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine whether you can have several aesthetic surgeries in one session, as this would depend on various factors including but not limited to your general health condition, the type of anesthesia that will be used, and the type of surgeries that will be performed among others.

Chin liposuction can be done at the same time as a face lift, especially if the neck is being contoured as well. Some surgeons will elect to surgically remove fat from that area while they can directly see it to eliminate the need for liposuction altogether. Anytime liposuction is performed you should expect a degree of bruising and soreness but it usually gets better pretty quickly (1-2 weeks). Hope this helps!

Liposuction or direct surgical excision of subcutaneous fat using scissors is commonly part of a facelift operation.
