Can I get a neck lift after a chin implant?

Question

I am seriously looking at chin implants, my concerns being vertical length and pre-jowls. If I get an implant, what is the viability of getting a necklift or at least liposuction after the fact?

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. Chin implants are an excellent way to optimize the results of a neck lift and can often be done within the same timeframe. Patients regularly opt for mentoplasty, or chin augmentation surgery, in addition to a neck lift to lengthen the appearance of the jawline while angulating the neck in order to reach their desired aesthetic. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon who can assess your needs and help you choose the best options for your preferred results.

Providing that you need chin implant augmentation and that you also have neck fulness, poorly defined jawline, jowls and similar, all of these should be addressed in one surgery. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with known expertise  facial rejuvenation and implants, is recommended. Good luck.

Patients may end up having a chin implant and/or neck procedures at different times.  Although not commonly, patients may end up having a chin implant and necklift in individual cases, additionally.

Rosa B. Lipin, MD · Answer

It is very common to do a chin implant at the same time as neck liposuction and/or a necklift. If you elected to get the chin implant before, it will not limit the ability to perform the other surgeries in the future, but it will mean you will have another recovery period.

Dear thetopSH,
You can undergo a necklift or neck liposuction after a chin implant. Generally these procedures are done simultaneously, but they can be staged or you can do them months-years apart. You will not have any reduction in surgical outcomes. I hope this helps answer your question.
All the best,Dr. Sanan, MDDouble board certified facial plastic surgeon
