I’m a 31 year old female, I had chin and neck liposuction on July 11th 2024. I recently had my follow up and am very disappointed with the result as I expected the sub mental fat to be gone and have a more defined side profile. I also have lost a total of 25 pounds since the procedure. I am wondering if this a normal result, or if I will need a second round? At my follow up I was told I had a great result and that I should be happy with this. Would I benefit from a different procedure?

Answer: Chin liposuction or something else? The weight loss will cause extra skin but I think that you need a different procedure. You have a very profound submental crease, and I prefer to perform a platysmaplasty with fat transposition of the sub-platysma fat to fill in the crease. This will give you a sharper jawline and improved cervical mental angle. At the same time the platysma muscle is tightened in the front.

Answer: Neck liposuction may be unpredictable at times. What's nice about neck liposuction is that some people get amazing results that can mimic a facelift, neck lift. Sometimes, results can be less than what is expected. This can be due to your neck fat being located in a deep plane, or possibly that there was too much fat left behind in the subcutaneous space. If the latter is true, depending on your examination, repeating neck liposuction may be worth considering. I hope this is helpful, and thank you for your question. Sincerely, Dr Joseph
