Painless, uncomfortable recovery, some results

It's been a couple of years
WORTH IT$2,000
It's been a few years now and there definitely is improvement, so I say it was worth it. Although I have to say I have been doing a lot of neck exercises recently, maybe that also helped firm up the muscle a little.
To sum up the surgery: There was no pain but wearing the "headpiece" was a pain in the neck. Pun intended :)
The results did not show from one day to the other, but after a couple of months. (At the first few months, my double chin was bigger than ever. People though I had gained weight.)
I am still not happy with my jawline but that is not because of accumulated fat but because of the bone structure I'm stuck with. I am considering getting Radiesse to make it more prominent.
For those who are considering a neck lip nowadays: don't, go for Kybella instead. If that was available when I had the lipo done, I would have chosen it.

It has been three years. My neckline from the side looks good. I definitely think there has been some improvement, but my jawline is still not as defined as I would like it to be. This is however not because of fat, but because of how my muscles are structured, so I guess I will have to keep looking for other solutions.

Aaron.....what you need is a CHIN implant. Look that up on here! There is a guy who had the implant, and a little fat sucked out....he looks totally different now....as in HOT! Also a girl had a large (i think) implant. It really will define your jaw and chin! Check it out!!!

Alan, I think you look good now. I would advise no more surgery. None of us are perfect but there are too many bed doctors out there and too many risks. You look fine.

I meant to say bad doctors! Anyway, you look fine and if you see improvement with this chin lipo, that's good, but if you keep chasing a different face, you may end up worse off. Many plastic surgeons spend so much te doing revisions of other bad plastic surgery.

Hey. I have almost the same chin from the side view as you and my surgeon recommended a chin implant. Nothing that will change the structure of your face. It is very small but we both have a "weak chin" as they said. It is not that expensive and I believe will be the final solution of what we are looking for.

It's been two months. Sometimes I think there is a slight difference, sometimes I think there's no difference at all.
I cannot decide. One thing is for sure, it's not any worse.

Hi Aaron,
Thank for sharing your experience and follow up!
Definitive result are maybe later visible...
Have you ever considered a chin implant? It is a minor surgery and you'll see a quicker result. I had it done about a week ago. During the operation it was also a little bit scary and the hours after I had to take some painkillers.

Hi Kris,
Some of the docs I visited did say I would benefit from a chin implant. I might do it one day, although the thing is, that I really don't have a problem with the structure of my chin. It's small and a little receding but it doesn't bother me. I like it that way, I just don't like the extra fat or skin or whatever it that does not stick to my face the way it does for so many people. Especially along the jawline. I'm still hoping it'll get better in a month or so. I read the definite results show at about 3 months, although seeing little to no results after 2 months suggests I don't have overly bright prospects. :(

The change was slight, but I think your profile improved a bit. I am thinking of doing this procedure as well. Thank you for sharing the photos!

I couldn't agree with you more! The worst part is definitely the head strap. The procedure itself is fine. I'm also 24 and had chin lipo a little over a week ago to achieve a more defined and masculine jawline. But to my disappointment, there has been no improvement. It also doesn't help when the doctor is sterile and you can't get an honest opinion or feedback out of her. Do you think I should bother wearing the head strap for longer than a week as advised by the doctor. I just feel the result is unlikely to improve and I would rather get on with my life then stay indoors with this horrible bandage strapped to my head.

It's been over a year now and I do see a little improvement.
It is better now, although I've been getting some skin tightening stuff too.
It's better then it used to be, but it is still not as good as i wish it was. It's still bothering me. If I could do it all over again, I would probably go for the necklift thing that some other guys here on this forum have had. It seems to bring better results.
However, I wouldn't say it was not worth the money, but the head strap was a nightmare.. I wouldn't want that again!
