Will I benefit from Chin Liposuction? (photos)

Question

I just went in for an IPL and they did a pre op for chin liposuction next Friday. I thought they were doing my jawline a bit but it turns out it's just under the chin directly. I've recently lost some weight and am still working on about 15 lbs more. Now I'm wondering if lll see enough of a difference to be worth just under the chin. What do you think? I'm 44 years old. Face is red and blotchy because I just finished my IPL. Face is still numb too.

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.

I generally perform jawline liposuction in every case where I am performing chin liposuction. The subcutaneous fat is continuous and therefore it is beneficial to do simultaneously.

​I find that VASER liposuction in combination with Renuvion or ThermiRF are best for contouring the chin in those who are candidates, but Kybella can be used as an alternative and gets better results when combined with Thermage/Ultherapy/Exilis, TruSculpt iD, or Coolsculpting. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer​

You do appear to be a candidate for chin liposuction if this is an area that bothers you.  You can add to the results of your procedure with Morpheus8 treatments to improve skin tone and texture.  You may want to postpone the procedure until you have reached your goal weight in order to maximize your results.

Dear lexerella,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would benefit from chin liposuction. 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.
