Chin lipo dent?

Swelling can last for weeks following your procedure. To speed up healing, you can try adding Venus Legacy, InMode Forma or Exilis radiofrequency treatments. To improve final results, we will often do Kybella and Ultherapy treatments about 4 to 6 weeks after VASER Neck Liposuction.​ See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

It is possible for patients to develop dents or irregularities in the area of the chin following liposuction. These dents can be caused by a variety of factors, including uneven fat removal or uneven healing of the tissue.

In some cases, these irregularities may improve on their own as the tissue continues to heal and settle. However, in other cases, additional treatment may be necessary to correct the issue.

If you are concerned about a dent or irregularity in the area of your chin following liposuction, it is important to schedule a follow-up appointment with your healthcare professional who performed the procedure. They can evaluate the area and recommend potential treatment options to address the issue.

Best of luck !

The contour of your neck is a direct reflection of how the procedure was performed. By removing too much subcutaneous, fat and muscle edges of the platysma muscle are exposed.
Some people may refer to these as platysmal bands. They may be present in individuals, and the appearance become more apparent with the removal of subcutaneous fat.
Having a double chin and lack of jawline, definition is generally associated with a facial, skeletal imbalance on individuals who have a mandible that is small or lacking in forward, projection, in comparison to the Maxilla. Individuals seeking this procedure, and generally do not have an abnormal fat distribution. Well done, Liposuction can deliver high-quality results, but the enemy good is perfect and removing excessive amounts of fat can lead to secondary undesirable consequences, which is evidence based on your pictures. 
Correcting poorly done Liposuction is difficult and sometimes not possible. Liposuction should be considered a permanent and irreversible procedure.
Delivering consistent quality, liposuction results is more difficult than most people realize. The number of plastic surgeons have truly mastered this procedure is in a small minority.
Patient should be highly selective in choosing providers. I suggest patients do this by having multiple in person consultations before scheduling surgery. During each consultation, ask each provider to open up your portfolio and show you their entire collection of before and after pictures of previous patients who had similar body or facial characteristics. An experienced plastic surgeon should have no difficulty showing you the before and after pictures of at least 50 previous patients. 
Correcting overly liposuction is difficult. Revision Liposuction will add insult to injury and make things worse. Fat transfer is tedious, difficult, and often requires multiple sessions with uncertain outcomes.
The time to be critical of plastic surgeons is before someone schedule surgery.
It is my hope that patients recognize that Liposuction is a far more difficult procedure to do well on a consistent basis than most people realize. This is true for both patients and providers.
Patients should be far more necessary when it comes to choosing providers for Liposuction procedures.
Revision Work is many times more difficult to primary procedures. Any attempt at improving the outcome therefore necessitate being in the hands of a true expert. The provider needs to not only be an expert at Liposuction, but I also have a proven experience in correcting Liposuction defects, using various techniques including fat transfer. Fat transfer is inherently difficult in treating overzealous Liposuction results because patience lack sufficient host tissue to support grafted fat.
