Submental Lipectomy. Pros Vs Cons? Can you help me understand what risks I am taking. I am a 33 year old male. Approximately 5-9 and 195lbs. I have a slight double chin, but was told that if we do the submental Lipectomy the fat will never grow under my chin again. Good idea or bad idea? Thanks in advance. Have a blessed day!
Answer: Submental Lipectomy is Not Permanent and Other Options Should Be Considered Markky_03 Thank you for providing the pictures while they are helpful a complete consultation is necessary to determine your best course of action. A submental lipectomy is removal of fatty tissue from below the chin. This fat can be directly (surgically ) removed or removed through liposuction. This can be performed under local anesthesia with or without sedation. The fat that is removed does not come back but that does not mean that you will not again have a prolapse of fat again. If all of the fat was removed you would not have a natural look as your skin would stick to the muscle underneath. At Accents Cosmetic Surgery in Sterling Heights, Michigan I perform this procedure in the sterility and safety of my accredited operating room. It is rare that submental liposuction is performed alone. I use a laser to not only melt this fatty tissue (prior to liposuction) but also to tighten the skin.Normally my patients are back to work in 2-3 days. I invite you to come for a complimentary consultation. Please check my website and video below.

Answer: Fat Removal from Underneath the Chin As long as the fat removal is overdone, the risk is very small in the hands of an experienced face and neck lift surgeon. In your situation, my greatest concern would be that the fat removal (lipectomy) will not provide you with the benefit you may be looking for. Before going ahead, you should discuss the pros and cons of chin augmentation and necklift with your facial plastic surgeon so that you are sure you decide on the correct procedure for you that will deliver the best results.
