Am I a good candidate for submental liposuction or should I consider other options? 32 y/o female (photos)

Question

Hello, I have a consultation coming up in June for submental liposuction and arm liposuction. However I was wondering if I am a good candidate for submental liposuction or if there is another recommended procedure? I am a 32 year old female. Thanks!

Nancy de Kleer, MD, FRCSC (Plast) · Answer

Three excellent treatments for double chin are liposuction, Coolsculpting and Belkyra.
At an in person consultation, you can learn if you are a candidate for any of these.  Based on your photo, you are a candidate for submental liposuction and this can be performed at the time of arm liposuction if you decided to proceed with arm liposuction.
Factors to consider when deciding on a treatment for this area include: which will give the best result, risk factors, downtime and cost.

Gregory Lakin, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question and for sharing your pictures. You are a great candidate for submental liposuction. You can explore the options of adding fat transfer, filler, or implant to the chin to help define your profile. Combined, these procedures can give great results.

Michael P. Morrissette, DDS, FACS · Answer

Liposuction is the best treatment for the removal of submental fat. It also allows for the removal of fat along the jawline to improve definition in this area. In the single profile photo it appears that your chin is mildly recessive. You may get improved facial balance with a chin implant.

Tanveer Janjua, MD · Answer

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 Nluim9,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would benefit from chin lipo. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
