View successful results of smart lipo chin patients who have been treated by different plastic surgeons.
Smart Liposuction of the chin (neck) is very beneficial in the correct person. If there is isolated fat with good overlying skin tone you are considered a good candidate.
Usually this is in someone of a younger age group but with newer techniques today the age group of people who can be candidates has expanded. It is a simple procedure that can give dramatic results. (Scott R. Brundage, MD, Grand Rapids Plastic Surgeon)
The results of chin liposuction can be dramatic, but not everyone with a double ching or turkey neck has excess fat. An evaluation as to what procedure is best should be carried out.
Patients are generally thrilled with the results of chin liposuction. Chin liposuction can create a more streamlined jawline and provide better balance to the face. (Howard T. Bellin, MD (retired), Manhattan Plastic Surgeon)
Chin liposuction can contour the upper neck area nicely
Neck liposuction (upper neck, just under the chin) removes extra fat from that area, giving a sharper contour to the neck and less fullness. This is an office procedure, done under local anesthesia. Be sure to look for a surgeon Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (NOT a “cosmetic surgeon”, as they often aren’t plastic surgeons at all!).
Now, if you have loose skin with poor elasticity, it may take more than just liposuction to get a good result. The same is also true if you have “bands” in your neck (those two vertical lines you see in some people).
If you have those, then a platysmaplasty is in order (tightening of the neck muscles). (Carmen Kavali, MD, Atlanta Plastic Surgeon)
Chin like suction works extremely well
Liposuction of the chin area works extremely well. Patients truly appreciate the significant difference that can be noticed after this procedure. It can help redefine the jaw line and removed some of the heaviness of the face.
But the most important factor for a successful result is patient compliance after surgery. In our practice, we routinely tell our patients that they must wear their compression garment 24 hours a day for the first two weeks after surgery.
After this time, they must wear their garment in the evenings and throughout the night for an additional four weeks. This is crucial as this area of the skin must feel smoothly to the underlying muscle to get a great result with minimal deformity. (Pat Pazmino, MD, FACS, Miami Plastic Surgeon)
Eliminate a double chin with chin Liposuction
Chin Liposuction is for someone who does have a double chin or fatty deposit underneath the chin and in jaw line area, and good skin tone. The best candidates for Chin Liposuction tend to be age 40 and below.
As you get older, your skin becomes less elastic and your skin can be so that Chin Liposuction alone won’t work. It is important when you have chin liposuction to go to a qualified plastic surgeon.
You really want to go to someone who has a good eye for how the final results should look and they can actually go ahead and treat those areas so that the patient can get a best results. (Usha Rajagopal, MD, San Francisco Plastic Surgeon)
