Is it worth getting chin/neck lipo if you consistently gain/lose weight for bodybuilding & strength training?

You would be a great candidate for lipo as it sounds like you carry fat predominantly in that area.  After lipo it would not change as much as your weight changes as it would be recontoured.

Thank you for your question.For the most predictable results, it is best to have a stable weight at the time of surgery.  Your weight gain and weight loss can lead to unpredictable or unsatisfactory results.



To be sure, see two or more board
certified and experienced plastic surgeons in your area for a full and complete
evaluation.



I hope this helps.

  I know all about gaining and cutting.  I would say that from your description you may be a very good candidate.  Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Pictures would help but, in general, weight change under 20-25 lbs will not appreciably effect the results of submental liposuction. So, if you get a nice result to start with it should hold up regardless of minimal fluctuations in your weight.

Without a set of pictures and examination it is impossible to tell whether not your candidate or not. There are fatty deposits in the neck located both above and below the platysma muscle. These are known as sub-mental fat deposits and sub-platysmal fat deposits. Only a neck lift can surgically remove the subplatysmal fat, if present. Liposuction will only remove the sub-mental fat. Before undergoing any liposuction it's best to be  at a stabilized body weight. In addition, there will be restrictions on exercise and bodybuilding for at least 2-3 weeks after a surgical procedure.
