I want to know the pros and cons of getting liposuction around my neck, also chin reduction (Photo)

Hello jasminejune16,
It’s a pleasure to answer your questions! Based on your pictures and description, I would recommend you getting facial contouring with FaceTite to tighten your skin, get a more sculpted jawline appearance, and attain outstanding and long-lasting results. FaceTite is a leading-edge, one-hour contouring solution procedure for the face and small areas of the body that helps patients achieve results similar to a facelift without excisional surgery. With FaceTite and BodyTite, patients who would prefer to avoid surgery and general anesthesia, can remove excess body and facial fat without leaving behind saggy, wrinkly skin. Recovery time required for these procedures is remarkably short (24-48 hours), and also pain-free, relative to traditional lipolysis methods. Using radio-frequency (RF) technology, the surgeon places a small probe beneath the skin that heats the tissues causing them to contract and tighten. Furthermore, FaceTite can be combined with liposuction in the jowls and neck areas to attain more contouring and a more overall youthful look. Request an in-person consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon to assess your candidacy for FaceTite under local anesthesia, based on your age, skin laxity and health status, among other factors. During the initial consultation, you will most likely have the opportunity to take a look at your surgeon’s before-and-after photo gallery of similar cases, and discuss your specific needs and cosmetic goals. Best regards! Dr. De La Cruz.    

Based on your picture you seem to be a good candidate for facetite to tighten the area, an in-person consultation would be best for a detailed exam and evaluation.Always see a board certified PS.

I find that VASER liposuction in combination with ThermiRF are best for contouring the chin in those who are candidates but Kybella can be used as an alternative and gets better results when combined with thermage/ultherapy/exilis or coolsculpting. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Jasmine.  It appears from your photograph that you would be an excellent candidate for micro liposuction of the neck to contour the area quite nicely. In this technique, small cannulas are used to allow the plastic surgeon to sculpt the neck region by removing the fat. It is still the gold standard for treatment of fat in the neck region. Kybella is an injectable that dissolves fat from the submental region, however requires at least two treatments and final results take over six months to be realized. It is not nearly as effective as liposuction, in my opinion.I am not certain exactly what you mean by chin reduction, however you should consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area to explore the best options for you. Good luck

Thanks for the question using modern techniques and technology you can get a reliable shape change to your neck, these procedures will not remove skin and in time you skin will loosen but I do not think you are a good candidate for a neck skin removal procedure or a neck lift. This can be comfortably, safely, and reliable done under local anesthesia for a reasonable price. Chin reduction surgery requires bone removal and jaw manipulation an oral surgeon may be best for this
