I want to get liposuction for my double chin but I have a thick scar from a previous chin implant. I had gotten a chin implant in 2020, but then got it removed 6 months later. Will the scar effect my eligibility to get chin liposuction?

Answer: Double chin treatment Liposuction treatment can be performed after chin implant removal but the results will be less than ideal without addressing the lack of horizontal chin projection. Why was the chin implant removed? Without the benefit of photos, I would likely recommend a sliding genioplasty to improve your lower facial balance and eliminate the double chin, and perform simultaneous jawline and submental liposuction. The surgery is performed in the office with sedation anesthesia and can be accomplished simultaneously. Most patients are well recovered in one week.

Answer: Can I still get double chin liposuction if I have a thick chin implant scar It is certainly possible to undergo chin liposuction, regardless of whatever type of scar that you have in your chin itself. It's also important to understand that a liposuction can only accomplish removal of the fat deposits above the muscle, and many people have fat deposits below the muscle, which is actually going to require an surgical neck lift with a platysma plasty to significantly improve your jawline. Please post a full set of facial and neck photos to make that determination.
