Considering submental liposuction. Would like to understand if there is a way to tell if my issue is chin fat (which would mean I am a good candidate) or excess skin (meaning the lipo won’t do much).

Answer: How can you tell if it double chin is caused by excessive fat or skin A full set of pictures would be more helpful to get a better determination about how best to proceed. From the one limited photograph, you have a recessive mandible and fat deposits located below the platysma muscle. It's important to understand that there are two compartments a fat in the neck, above and below the platysma muscle. Consider placement of a chin implant to augment your chin forward for better structural support for the soft tissues in the neck. Liposuction can only accomplish removal of fat above the platysma muscle, while a surgical neck lift is required to remove the fat deposits below the platysma muscle which also includes a platysma-plasty to significantly improve the jawline. A surgical neck lift with the chin implant would be your best option, and both procedures can be perform together as an outpatient procedure.
