Age requirement for liposuction of 'double chin'/neck area?

Question

I was wondering the age requirement for liposuction of under chin area with and without parental consent. And what the price range is for the specific area. Thanks

You will need parental consent if you are under the age of 18 years. Prices will vary. I suggest that you see a board certified plastic surgeon to make sure that you are an appropriate candidate.

For any cosmetic surgery, you must be 18 years old or have parental consent if younger.  I treat this everyday in my practice. You may be a surgical candidate but you do not need surgery for improvement. Properly performed liposuction with energy based devices and physical fat removal will do fantastic to remove the fat, lift the skin, and contour the jawline. I pretreat everyone with Botox 1-2 weeks before surgery to relax the neck muscles, allowing for better retraction of the skin after surgery. Then after treatment we do skin tightening with Venus Legacy to improve the results and decrease the neck swelling. I suggest you only see an expert for treatment of this area as a meticulous surgeon is required to get great results and complications in this area can be devastating both medically and cosmetically. A new medication that is used to remove chin fat with injections called Kybella may also be an option, as it secondarily allows for skin tightening/lifting as well. A formal consultation is needed to determine what are the best options for you.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Age 18 is the age required for elective surgery without parental consent. You have submitted no photographs, so I can't tell if the problem is excess fat in your neck or a chin that is too small. If the problem is excess fat, a ThermiSmooth250 is a nonsurgical way to treat this problem with no recovery time needed. In addition, it is painless.A recessive chin can be corrected with injections and no anesthesia is necessary other than a topical anesthetic cream.The next step for excessive fat in the neck would be a ThermiTight, which is a micro-invasive procedure. If your physician feels that a more aggressive treatment is necessary a liposuction can be performed under local anesthesia. All of the above procedures uniformly yield excellent results. Thank you for your question, and I hope this has been helpful for you

There really is no age requirement as long as the operation is deemed appropriate.a board certified plastic surgeon should meet with you to discuss your concerns.
