Fabulous429463Mar 11, 2022
I have had submental liposuction exactly one year ago. I wore my chin strap 24/7 for my doctor's recommended time. I believe it was 6 to 8 weeks. But does this appear to be loose skin? What do I need to do to fix this? Is it normal? In this picture i have my head turned. But it looks fine when my head is staight.

Thank you for the question. So sorry you’re experiencing the nerve problems. The answer is no. Neck Liposuction is removal of fat under the chin.

This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. Buccal fat pad gives slimming not symmetry. Masseter botox will make you slimmer and make the jawline more loose. Fillers help give shaping and contouring. If you want perfect or close to perfect symmetry...

For a more defined jawline to strengthen your profile (and help prevent the dreaded jawline "jowl" sagging), we use injectable fillers like Revanesse Versa - a filler known to limit swelling and give subtle, soft enhancements - or Radiesse. Using a cannula to limit pain and swelling, we inject...
