What procedures would eliminate my "waddle" (chin fat)? (Photo)

Hello,Based on your photo's, you are an excellent candidate for submental liposuction. This will remove the extra fatty tissue and typically tighten the skin. It can be very dramatic. It is safe, effective and healing time is usually 1 week. Dr James Bonaparte

Thank you for your pictures. In my opinion, you could be a good candidate for either Kai Bella a noninvasive treatment or traditional liposuction beneath your chin. Please visit was several board-certified plastic surgeons to get the best recommendations for you.Best wishes

There are a few options to reduce the fat under the chin.  The traditional method would be using liposuction.  Non-surgical options would include Kybella injections and CoolSculpting.   

I find that VASER liposuction in combination with ThermiRF are best for contouring the chin in those who are candidates but Kybella can be used as an alternative with or without thermage/ultherapy/exilis or coolsculpting. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

  The determining factor in deciding upon which procedure to accomplish rejuvenating  the neck will be the skin tone that is present in the neck itself.  If the skin tone is adequate, simple liposuction accomplishes removal of fatty deposits above the platysma muscle.   When there are fatty deposits below the platysma muscle, a  surgical neck lift is required which eliminates the fatty deposits  Above and below the platysma muscle.  This procedure also  includes a platysma plasty to accentuate the jawline.  No skin removal is necessary.  When patients are over 50 years of age, a lower face and neck lift is required to tighten loose facial and neck skin.  For more information and many before and after examples, please see the link and the video below.

Thanks for your question and photographs.  You need a direct face-to-face exam but it appears that you are likely a good candidate for submental liposuction.  Injection treatments are another option but often take much longer an end up being equally or more expensive.  Good luck and best wishes,Jon A Perlman M.D., FACSDiplomate, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS)ABC-TV Extreme Makeover SurgeonBeverly Hills, CaliforniaIG: jonperlmanmd

  Hi, I have performed many facial shaping procedures over the past 30 years including chin augmentation with a silastic chin implant.  Looking at your photos, your chin is weak and there is excess fat below the chin.  A weak chin creates facial imbalance making things appear out of balance including: the nose looks larger; the mid face appears to be "top heavy" while the lower face looks shortened (tens to de-emphasizes lip fullness) and early formation of a "double chin" occurs. Liposuction of the fat below the chin combined with placement of a silastic chin implant (provides the necessary forward projection to correct a weak chin) through a small curved incision under the chin, will add projection to the chin creating harmony and balance to the lower face.  Using the same incision, any excess skin, from below the chin, can also be removed.  In my experience, this procedure is very safe, quick, highly effective and far less invasive than a sliding genioplasty.  I perform chin implant surgery in 30 minutes or less, often using a local anesthetic alone.  In my opinion, you are a good candidate for chin implant surgery.  Hope this helps.
