Liposuction double chin effect on chin dimple / chin cleft? (Photo)

Question

Dear Sir or Madame, I am planning a procedure to reduce my double chin. How could this, basically as a side affect, change my chin dimple / chin cleft?Actually i like my chin dimple, could the double chin reduction/removal be done in a way, that the dimple is more prominent? (Without any additional procedures like implants or sutures?) Best wishes, Johnny

Dear Joohnny87,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

"​It takes a series of treatments to get good results with Kybella. Keep in mind, Kybella is good for dissolving the submental fat under the chin area while contouring the jawline and making the chin more defined, but a combination approach is needed to get the most improvement with non-invasive options. I recommend a combination approach with Thermage, Ultherapy, and Exilis.

InMode FaceTite / AccuTite with VASER Neck Liposuction is the best option for contouring and tightening the chin, neck, and jawline area. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer​​"

Chin dimple can be preserved. Chin liposuction helps reduce the bulge under the chin and can be done for the whole neck. Once the fat is removed the skin can become loose and saggy in some cases. It can be avoided by combining it with Thermitight which is a radiofrequency heat delivered under the skin to tighten it. Both chin liposuction and Thermitight can be done at the same time. The recovery is fast and it can be done under local anesthesia.

It would be helpful to have a full set of facial and neck photograph from all angles to make a determination about which procedures you need. Liposuction is performed to reduce the fat deposits in the neck. Placement of a chin implant is performed to augment the chin forward. The chin implant is placed along the bone, while your dimple is in the dermis, therefore you will still retain your dimple. Both procedures are usually performed together, and can be performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia

Liposuction alone will not change a dimple and is not a good way to try to do so. to accentuate the dimple using a permanent suture is probably the best option.
Sometimes leaving things alone is a good idea as well.
 The great majority probably at least 95% of people seeking Chin and neck Liposuction have as their primary diagnosis a facial skeletal and balance with a mandible that is small or lax projection compared to the Maxilla. This typically presents with an overbite dental occlusion, profile pictures will show the upper lip has more forward projection than the lower lip, premature double chin without obesity, lack of jawline definition, and a propensity for premature jowls.
Most people who have the procedure have a normal fat distribution. When surgeons do procedures that don’t treat the primary problem patients need to realize they will only get a partial improvement. Some individuals get stunning results from chin and neck liposuction. The best candidates tend to be young people who are slightly overweight.
It helps if the surgeon has exceptional talent with loads of experience.
Jaw advancement is not particularly popular but it does treat the primary problem head-on better for most of these people.
I suggest having a few in person consultations for local board-certified plastic surgeons and consider also consulting with local oral surgeons.
Best,
