Should I lose weight before chin lipo or mini/lower lift?

I suggest being at your normal weight unless you are really overweight.  Normally I do not have patents lose much before surgery unless they are not surgical candidates.  Best, Dr. Emer.

If you are planning on losing the 10-15 lbs., I would recommend doing that first before your consultation because it could make a difference in the appearance of your face and neck.  It would be better to evaluate you when you are at your goal weight.  

Congrats on your husband being in remission! To answer your question, I recommend that my patients be within 20lbs of their goal weight prior to undergoing any surgical procedure. Remember weight loss is global. Being at your ideal weight will ensure your results are long lasting. Good luck!

 It is important to be at your ideal body weight before undergoing elective facial cosmetic surgery. By losing additional weight, you will get a better result from the lower face and neck lift procedure. Liposuction in the neck is performed for diet resistant fat

Sorry to hear about your life stressors, but happy they are behind you and you are taking positive streps to care for yourself. I believe it is always best to be as close to your goal weight as possible before any surgical procedure for the best possible outcome and predictability.Good luck.

This depends if the 15 pounds you gained produced a lot of facial fat.  Some patients can gain 15 lbs but not have much facial fat.  If you do have significant facial fat from your weight gain, you could wait until after weight loss.  On the other hand, fat removal in the face is permanent and that particular fat won't come back.  With a faceilft, much more fat sculpting can per performed as the deep fat deposits can accessed.Joe Niamtu, III DMDCosmeric Facial SurgeryRichmond, Virginia

Thank you for you post, and I'm happy to hear your husband is in remission. Most of us would like to see you at or near your goal weight and have that be stable for a few months. There are a number of options available to help you, and liposuction (with or without a laser) is only one of them. I'd hold off on your consult until you are ready. Best wishes.
