Hello, If you already have a chin implant, is it safe a few years later to have liposuction to remove the fat that has accumulated a double chin for some reason? I am not overweight I am 5"6, 135 lbs.

Answer: Submental Liposuction is Safe after Chin Implant Liposuction in the submental area under the chin should not be affected by prior placement of a chin implant. The implant is typically placed along the lower border of the jaw, and the small incision that is created for liposuction is typically well below/behind this. There are several issues that can cause the appearance of a double chin, and liposuction is only one treatment alternative. I would recommend seeing a plastic surgeon who specializes in facial aesthetics to evaluate whether this would be the best option for you.

Answer: Is it safe to have liposuction under chin with a chin implant in place? It would be fine to have liposuction under the chin with a chin implant in place. The puncture for the liposuction is normally made just underneath the chin and below the chin implant.
