3 month post op Liposuction of the chin I have one side that is sagging. I look worse now than I did before. Is this normal?

Patients should look better, and hopefully much better, three months after chin liposuction.The main two reasons patients have poor outcomes from this procedure are either that they were not a good candidate for liposuction in the first place or the procedure was not done correctly.In my opinion, it's the surgeon's responsibility to address each of these. People who perform these procedures should be trained in assessing patients to determine if they can reasonably expect significant improvements. Steering patients into procedures that will not help is not practicing good medicine.I, like most medical students, took the Hippocratic Oath of  "above all, do no harm".Technical expertise varies quite a bit.Some people have different talents and/or levels of experience.In general, I do not charge my patients for revisions. My guess is that most plastic surgeons do not charge for revisions if they are reasonable.At times, I ask patients to pay for facilities if it seems reasonable.If your surgeon is saying you may need a facelift, then my guess is that you may not have been an ideal candidate for liposuction in the first place.Please understand these are all general thoughts. Without looking at pictures or doing an in-person consultation, it's not possible for any one of us to give you exact information.Please confirm your surgeon's credentials. Make sure he or she is a board-certified plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon.Best of luck,Mats Hagstrom, M.D.

No you should not look worse after having a procedure done to improve your neck and chin.  If there is an area fat that was missed your surgeon should remove this without charging you.If however you had a sagging jowls and neck laxity with loose skin then a neck lift is going to give you a better result.  He my get a second opinion from a board certified plastic surgeon so that you have a better idea of how you should handle this.
