Where Are the Puncture Marks for Liposuction for a Double Chin?

Typically we make an incision where the lobe of the ear meets the neck, (on both sides).  We also will place an incision a little back from the natural (mandibular) crease in the midline under your chin.  With multiple incisions one can criss-cross the area undergoing liposuction.  This usually leads to a smoother contour.  It is important to realize that this treats the fat and not other things that can be effecting your neck contour, (bands, excess skin, etc).  Also important to wear the compression garments and follow the after care advise of your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.

After one week, in my experience, you do not see and cannot find the opening signifying the location through which liposuction of the neck is accomplished.  These tiny marks disappear quickly and completely.  Facial exercises will NOT tighten loose skin, but will add wrinkles... After all, Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin relax facial muscles to soften or eliminate wrinkles, so it stands to reason that exercising muscles will magnify wrinkles, does it not?  Tightness of the skin following neck liposuction depends on how tight (or loose) and how elastic the skin is, and how much fat is removed.  Very often, neck skin tightens significantly after liposuction of the neck to contract around the smaller more well defined contour that results after fat removal.

Thank you for the question.

Incisions used for chin liposuction are generally placed below the chin and/or below the ear lobes. There are no facial exercises  that help tighten loose skin.

Best wishes.
