Well, I've been self conscious about my face shape for a very long time. I've had a substantial fatty pad under my chin even at my slimmest. (around 115 lbs and 5'5.) I'm 132 now, which is not my ideal weight but my chin fat has changed very little and my free time is limited so I've decided to DO THE THING -NOW-. finally I am going to do the thing. 'The thing' being chin/neck liposuction. I've wanted it for years.
SO YEAH! Getting it done today! I'm extremely stoked!

I have the same issue, i've always been a skinny (more like lanky lol) person but i have a fat face. I'ts hereditory in my family. I think my cheeks are way to saggy and fat. I've always wanted a defined, skinny face. I want my jawbone and cheekbones to be very visible lol. I dont know if they do cheek lipo, because they say that you cant regain the fat there and when your older it will make you looked aged blah blah blah but i have such an excessive amount of flab in my cheeks that i'd rather be attractive now and be able to get rid of it, then if i need to get injectables in the future so be it lol. Is being under anestisia an option for this procedure or was what you had the only option?

Heyo. Sorry to hear about your insecurities about the chubby facial type. I know that feel.
I have to say that I am not sure what the best option for your concerns would be, since I wanted to address a slightly different area of excess fat. (under the chin and around the jawline/ not so much the buccal fat.) I'd suggest posting a question on realself( with pictures) for surgeons to assess or going to a consultation or two in person.
I didn't ask about going under general for the procedure because I wasn't interested in the extra risks (and also general anesthesia makes me feel T E R R I B L E afterwards. I can honestly say that waking up from general was more traumatic than the entire liposuction procedure. ) I'm pretty sure most surgeons would be willing to perform chin liposuction under general anesthesia instead of local if a patient requested it, though.

Did the surgery. Glad it's done. Will write a full account of the procedure tomorrow. My face and neck is still very swollen and numb 9 hours out and I have a stunning Harvey Dent smile. Hope that doesn't last. Yikes.

Almost 3 days post-op

So, I'm about 3 days post and things are alright so far. My Janked-up TwoFace smile has disappeared and my mouth functions normally again (hooray.) I briefly removed my compression garment and took a shower after 48 hours which was extremely welcome. At the moment I have virtually no visible bruising but I am moderately swollen. Honestly, the worst of it now is that my chin area is extremely itchy and the compression garment (that I have been instructed to wear nonstop for about a week) kind of hurts my ears. Such is life. Here are some pictures I took while I had the Spandex Torture Device off. My neck is still plastered in Fine Art since I am too sore to scrub all the marker off yet, heh. Not a huge difference so far but definitely less softness. :^)

I just had my consultation with my plastic surgeon 3 days ago & so I'm struggling to get a grip on how difficult this is going to be.. Thanks so much for sharing.

I'm glad my review could be helpful to anyone considering the procedure! In my opinion the recovery isn't very bad at all although I am glad that I had an entire week to hide the swelling.
Let us know how it went! Can't wait to hear.
