I had lipo suction under my chin exactly one year ago. I gained 10 pounds and it almost looks worse than it did if I had gained this 10 pounds before my surgery. My question is, if I go back to post op weight will I look the way I used to or did I gain stubborn fat all over again?
Answer: Will results from liposuction under chin improve with weight loss? I would say that it is likely that if you lost 10 lbs., you would see improvement in the fat under your chin. It is difficult to know how much better it would get, but normally, general weight loss will decrease the fat under the chin.

Answer: Under chin lipo It's common for patients to gain weight after liposuction, and in some cases, the fat can return to the treated area. However, it's important to keep in mind that weight gain after liposuction can also occur in other areas of the body. Hello, If you return to your post-op weight, it's possible that your chin will look similar to how it did immediately after the surgery. However, it's also possible that the fat will have returned to some degree. It's difficult to predict the exact outcome without a proper evaluation. To maintain the results of your liposuction, it's important to maintain a healthy lifestyle and avoid significant weight fluctuations. If you're concerned about the appearance of your chin, I recommend consulting with your plastic surgeon for an evaluation and to discuss your options. They can provide you with more specific information based on your unique situation.

Answer: Weight fluctuations after surgery Thank you for your question. In general, if weight gain has worsened the appearance of the fullness under the chin, weight loss is likely to restore relatively similar appearance to the one after your surgery. Maintaining a regular sunscreen application regime irrespective of the weather conditions increases the chance of long-term skin elasticity and favours the contours of the neck.

Answer: Gaining 10 pounds 10 pound weight gain is enough to have a substantial difference on both the body and face. One year it’s also enough to add one extra year to facial aging. Weight fluctuations also can cause skin laxity in some individuals and it’s not healthy or recommended. Liposuction creates a permanent new fat distribution and gaining or losing weight should not change that fat distribution. There are other variables that contribute to someone’s appearance and these slowly change over time or can be influenced by weight fluctuations. I suggest you focus on losing the weight you have gained. Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
