Is Liposuction or Coolsculpting an option for moon face caused by Prednisone?

Question

I am on Prednisone for the rest of my life due to a kidney transplant and have the dreaded moon face. Would liposuction or Coolsculpting get rid of the chin or would it return?

Tanveer Janjua, MD · Answer

The best option will be to do neck/chin (submental) liposuction and Thermitight treatment to make it a nice tight profile. RegardsDr. J

I would definitely not recommend cool sculpting. That procedure is pretty worthless and not well-suited for what you describe.  Liposuction can be done on the face but great care must be taken in order not to injure structures like the facial nerve or parotid gland.  I suggest having a few in person consultations with experienced board-certified plastic surgeons. You’ll probably find different perspectives on this so it’s worth having multiple consultations.  Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
