Liposuction for a Double Chin: 5 Cases with Before & After Photos
Vložit
- čas přidán 15. 09. 2019
- A lot of people deal with submental fat or a double chin. Weight gain, genetics, and the natural loss of skin elasticity that comes with age can all play a role. There are lots of available treatments to treat or remove double chins, including newer treatments like CoolSculpting or Kybella, but laser liposuction is still a proven way to remove a double chin, and provides increased collagen production to help tighten the skin around the submental area.
In this video we’ll look at five different chin liposuction before and after photos as well as walk through the process for chin and neck liposuction so you can get a better understanding of the procedure. Personally I believe that there’s really no reason to do chin liposuction under general anesthesia as local anesthetic can satisfactorily numb the area.
What’s really advantageous about doing the chin and neck area is how much more defined it makes the whole face. Fat deposits in the submental area can really give a puffy appearance that distracts from the natural jawline; liposuction can address these by removing fat in the neck and jawline. Aging can cause use to lose elasticity in our skin, especially around the neck, but laser liposuction like SmartLipo stimulates collagen production and can help tighten up skin in the area - it’s one of the reasons liposuction might still be preferred over something like CoolSculpting for this particular area.
When I do chin and neck liposuction, I not only get the fat underneath the chin but also suction along the jawline. I find this greatly improves the aesthetic appearance of the face and gives great results, especially for patients that might have a minimal amount of submental fat but are unhappy with their neck and chin definition.
Some patients, especially older patients, will have more skin laxity in this area. Just because you have loose skin doesn’t mean you can’t get liposuction, but you should be aware that skin laxity may affect your overall results. If loose skin is your biggest concern (rather than fat in the area) then ultimately what you’re looking at is potentially getting a face lift. But take a look at the before and after examples in this video first to see what kind of reduction you can expect to achieve with laser liposuction alone.

I've seen very simple and easy to understand , good work Dr.

How long do you recommend your patients wear compression garment after chin liposuction?
Can you speak more about the laser skin tightening? Some surgeons think it doesn’t work much and don’t do it. I’d prefer they do it for longer lasting results.
Hi Tea! Great question. Laser liposuction like SmartLipo involves treating the skin using a laser, which promotes the formation of collagen. When fat is removed from liposuction (or from weight loss) you are often going to have some loose skin in the area (you now have less fat, but the same amount of skin). Laser skin tightening is one treatment that can address this, but there are others. The important thing is that we need to consider skin laxity when performing a liposuction procedure, especially on the chin.
Hi doctor! for a case like the last one in the video, do you recommend Endolift ? and what are your general thoughts about it ?
We do not offer Endolift so I can not comment on the effectiveness.
What would the approximate cost be for a removal of about 50-75 cc’s?
When you say the amount of cc’s is that including fluids used like tumescence? 1 cup is extremely out of the norm.
Great video - what about someone who is lean (less than 12% BF) with a double chin? This would be genetic, correct? Also - does adiposity regenerate in the area post-op over the course of let's say....12 months?
Hi J S. As with the last example in the video, it is possible to achieve a much more pronounced jawline even with a small amount of fat reduction in the area. I can't speak to any particular cases or their causes without an in-person examination, a double chin could be a result of a number of factors including skin laxity. I'd recommend coming in to the office so we can take a look if you're interested. In regards to your last question, fat cells removed through liposuction are removed permanently, they will not return, but you do have to maintain your post-op weight if you want to maintain the results. Give the office a call if you'd like to know more or come in for a free consultation 713-777-5476.
What are your thoughts on Lipo on the neck used in conjunction with facetight ? I think that’s what it is called supposed to tighten the neck skin from within
There are a lot of skin-tightening tools on the market. Both FaceTite and SmartLipo heat the skin from within to promote collagen formation. SmartLipo uses a laser, FaceTite uses radio frequency. I see good results from SmartLipo, but different surgeons will have different opinions.
@@johnbergeronmd thank you for answering my question. My doc has face tite. We are in northern Virginia. I have minor skin laxity on my neck. I have already had MyEllevate suture suspension. Just need a little tune up lol
So all of the images of your patients in this video had some sort of laser skin tightening with the liposuction?
Hey Doc love your Videos 💓
Do you have any Thought &Tipps for Kybella or Kabelline treatments. (Fat lose injection)
Much love from Berlin Germany 🇩🇪 💓
I'm 54 yrs old and will be seeking this in the future for sure.
Is the $3500 to $4500 real cost quote for The one cup type work on #3 client ?
Hi! We've slightly increased our prices for one area, so the range is now $3900-$4500. Larger cases will be more towards the $4500 end of that spectrum. Our prices are all-inclusive, so no hidden surgical fees. The only thing our prices don't include is pain meds (they aren't always needed and would need to be paid for at your pharmacy).

Where is this Dr located?
Hi Dorette, we're located in the Houston Heights, 1941 West TC Jester. If you're interested in an appointment, give our office a call 713-777-5476, or visit us online at houstonliposuction.com
What if I have saggy skin in my neck area ? Would this work? Thank you doctor!
Saggy skin (aka skin laxity) is a determining factor for Liposuction of the chin and is best evaluated in person during a consultation. We’d be happy to discuss further if you’d like more details! Call our office 713-777-5476 or visit houstonliposuction.com & schedule a free consultation!
I am left with a pouch under my chin from where the fat used to be after having tumescent liposuction. My surgeon recommends I have a SMAS face lift but its incredibly expensive. Which of the methods in terms of lasers/radio-frequency works best for sagging chin skin?
My mother has try that too it doesn't work I bought that expensive machine that SPA has and I still don't see difference..they also recommended her the facelift in Mexico is cheaper $3500 and good doctors too👍I had done my cosmetic surgery too and good results
How old are you
Have you fixed it?
@truby hopefully over time it will go away
@@odettg9106 where did you get it?
How long is this procedure and what’s the price range ? Can I also get this if my wisdom tooth is growing in ?
Hi there! Chin liposuction is one of the shortest liposuction procedures, it takes very little time in comparison to say a full abdomen. The price range is $3900 - $4900.
Simply having wisdom teeth coming in generally is not an issue, but always check with your surgeon. Wisdom teeth extraction is another matter. You don't want to be scheduling back-to-back surgeries, both procedures require healing time and post-op care that can last for a couple of weeks.
How many months heal or can see the results?
It typically takes about two weeks to get back to your daily routine. Recovery during that time involves wearing a compression garment and avoiding high-impact exercise. Many patients see immediate results from lipo, but it will differ from person to person. Like any surgery there will be some swelling and a healing process - final results can usually be seen at around 3 months, though for some patients it can take longer. If you have more questions please give the office a call, we'll be happy to answer them - 713-777-5476.
Typically what is the price range for the chin and neck area? I’m trying to lose weight but my chin and neck are a huge insecurity I’d like to get rid of
The price range for the submental area (chin and neck) is $3900-$4900 depending on the size of the case. Most people choose to finance their procedures - we do offer financing through two different providers. If you have any questions or want to schedule a consult give the office a call 713-777-5476.
Is lipo able to be done in cheeks and chin areas ?
We don't perform cheek liposuction or buccal fat pad removal (two separate procedures). These procedures can be done, but they are not something that we focus on in our practice.
If your 35 with jowels should you do this or have a mini face lift?
It will depend on the individual case, and we can't make any sort of recommendation without a proper exam. Drooping or sagging jowls are generally a combination of fat and poor skin laxity in the chin area, which may require something beyond chin lipo to correct. But each case is different and it depends on the results you are trying to achieve. Call the office if you're interested in a consultation -713-777-5476.
What is the youngest age someone can do it? I have a friends daughter who wants to do it and she’s 14 almost 15. Will it have any side effects? And will this affect her face when she grows up?
And she also wants i don’t remember if it was cheek pad removal or something like that too for her cheeks. Same questions as the other one. And would you recommend it?
Hi Claudia! It's possible to have liposuction younger than 18, but it would require in-person parental consent. Unfortunately without performing an examination, I can't make any kind of recommendation on specific cases.
where are you located?
We're located in the Houston Heights, 1941 West T. C. Jester. Thanks for the question!
Is there any skin removal Involved in chin lipo suction.?
No, liposuction alone doesn't involve skin removal. Chin liposuction often (but not always) involves skin-tightening treatments (such as laser or RF) to tighten up the submental area. Other procedures like a face lift (which does involve skin removal) can sometimes be used in combination with liposuction. As always, you'll need a consultation with a surgeon to know what's the best course of action for your particular case.
@@johnbergeronmd yes I did I was recommended chin and neck lipo
jaw contour and a little skin removal but that seemed shady to me
How long do the results last ?
Once fat is removed via liposuction, it's gone forever. It does not come back or move around. You'll keep your lipo results for as long as you maintain your post-surgery weight.
@@johnbergeronmd I did cool sculpting..not satisfied..does liposuction provide instant results
@@vishalinidevaraj9581 Because fat is physically removed during the liposuction procedure, unlike CoolSculpting the fat is immediately gone. However lipo does not provide "instant" results. There will be some swelling from the procedure and you should not expect to walk out of surgery looking 100%. Return to work is 48 hours, return to exercise at around two weeks. Final results will be at around three months. Visit our website for before and after photos - www.houstonliposuction.com
What is the price
It ranges from $3,500-$4,500 and we have financing options available. You can learn more here - www.houstonliposuction.com/lipo/areas/chin/
So what I’m dying to know is if the fat will come back? I’m young and eat healthy but I don’t want to drop $$$ and then in a year or two start to lose that defined jawline
Hi there! This is a lot of confusion around this, the short answer is that liposuction is permanent. Fat is the product of excess calories stored by your body's cells. Once removed those cells do not grow back. Read more on our website: www.houstonliposuction.com/blog/does-liposuction-permanently-remove-fat/
How much is it
Hi Cristal, the cost for chin ranges from $3500-$4500. There's no one flat fee for lipo - every case is different, so to get an accurate price quote you should always have an in-person consultation if possible. If you're in the greater Houston area, give us a call 713-777-5476. You can learn more about chin lipo, including cost, recovery, and results on our website www.houstonliposuction.com/lipo/areas/chin/
Hello there! I am overweight, but what bothers me the most is my double chin. Can i still get a chin lipo if im obese? Bmi 35 - 37
Hi there! Yes! Feel free to call or text our office (713) 777-5476 or email hello@houstonliposuction.com to get started!
I have used Dr Bergeron before he’s good. ✌🏽
Liar he messed up my surgery
What’s the average cost? I inherited my fathers very full chin fat
Hi there! The price range is $3500 - $4500. Individual prices will vary on the size of your case, and like most surgeons, we offer financing from a couple of providers. Thanks for the question
Could look better with J Plasma and Endolift.
So if you use a biopsy punch.......you can hear that CLICK when you are awake ? ew.....I wanted to get this but I had a biopsy and that click is awful :(
You do not hear a click - the punch is turned in a circular motion. However if you found a biopsy unnerving, it's possible that lipo under local anesthesia may not be the best choice for you.
@@johnbergeronmd Yes, I 100% agree....I want to be asleep .......
My mom is 49 she want it to do chin lipo but a doctor from Mexico said she can because of her age..they were so rude they said thay only from 18- 40..
Skin laxity does become an issue as we age especially with the chin area. However, it's possible to have someone who is older who has good skin laxity. We'd need to see your mother's case in person to determine whether she's a candidate.
I did mine 5mths ago I'm going for my 2nd round I didn't saw results they just did one insicion below my chin..
I hope they are not charging you too correct it
I'm going to do it in other Cosmetic Doctor I heard bad comments of patients that they did lipo chin for 2 round and no results..and also that he didn't had like the main Title of the best school I guess they didn't show good techniques on how to do a good face lipo contouring just to do basic stuff.. that's why they put local anestesia like what the dentist use because they do basic lipo 😳😰..and locaI anestesia I felt the pain and everything like it's not strong enough like for us to not feel nothing..I'm having my procedure 1 week $600 more expensive than the other one but I know that doctor he has done good surgery to celebrates and they do use a strong anestesia and doing buccal fat removal too..So I recommend you to be careful if they do local anestesia because probably they dont have that much training and it's kind of painful if they don't put you enough 🤷🏻♀️ and ask what technique they do if they do the 3 insicion that's the good one 👍because they do lipo everything to mark the jawline. .
You got yours done here ?
