Very informative video, thank you! Would you say there is an age limit for this procedure? I am almost 50 with very good skin, but I'm worried about skin laxity if I take away some of the submental fat. Are there any treatments you'd recommend after lipo to firm up that skin?
This was informative, I do have a question though. I keep hearing how removing fat from jowls isn’t the best idea due to sagging of the skin. It only looks great for a short amount of time. I know it also depends on the laxity of people’s skin
Thats true, especially if you are older like in your 40's or 50's. Although the scarring that liposuction will create under the skin actually will do some tightening so that can aid in supporting the tissue in that area. I usually reserve lipo of the jowels for my younger patients because they still have that great elasticity of the skin that can help get great results.
Hi. I went to a surgeon to ask him to liposuccion my fat jowls, he answered me he can not do it because there is a nerve and if I liposuccion fat here, I can damage the nerve and you won't be able to smile correctly, some facial paralysis. So I should be interested to know about the liposuccion you propose. Thank you.
Thats a great question! To liposuction the jowels you have to use special cannulas and special techniques to do that. Using a standard basket cannula will certainly result in nerve injuries in that region. But with special cannulas, being gentle and using different techniques it is possible to get into the jowels and remove some fat. You aren’t removing a lot from that area. But yes, injuring the nerve in that area is a risk.
Thats a great question! You can watch this video to learn all about the risks: th-cam.com/video/6aONuHw698M/w-d-xo.htmlsi=55aSuuTJXoEHM9ux The scars themselves are very small so they end up being very discrete.
Just because a doctor performs a safe procedure for patients who have desires to achieve nevertheless that doesn’t mean he or she is obligated to follow these desires. also I would point out that A medical professionals personnel is also a human being in their private time and I don’t think it sound right to come forward to someone and tell them that they should get something done unless you do that as a hobby of bullying :)
Not really. He's addressing his own fatty chin because he knows the viewers will zone in on it and question him. But he may personally not be interested in doing anything about it. It's like Dr Joe Niamtu who often jokes about his own saggy face, yet performs great facelifts. One can be dedicated to a cause without being a target of it. Also, remember that doctors can't perform surgery on themselves, and often, the only talent they trust is themselves. And finally, they usually have a great life and a nice wife, so no real reason to get procedures themselves.
Great question! I would say if you are going to do a second round you should wait 6 to 8 months before looking into any revisions. That way all of the swelling has resolved and you’ll have a better idea of what your results are from the first procedure.
Would it be ok to get masseter injection before then my 2nd procedure if I’m hoping to get quicker results in time for a wedding? Not sure how long I should wait before doing the injection.
@@onichez9371 Its hard to say without seeing you. I you are here in the Austin area I'd be happy to visit with you here in the office. If you aren't close by I would recommend discussing masseter injections with someone local and see what they would recommend.
Does under the chin lipo leave you with sagging skin like a turkey if you’re over 50? I’m only 120 pounds but have submantal fat and some jowls starting to form but I’m afraid of skin laxity if I remove that fat layer.
I usually recommend to my patients over 40 that they will need some form skin tightening after a chin lipo case wether its J plasma or face tite due to the risk of skin laxity. Over 50 i usually recommend a neck lift as the elasticity of the skin in the neck is hit or miss. The neck lift ensures that we don’t have a turkey neck after chin lipo.
Can you add the fat back to your chin after too much was removed? This caused my skin to thin out and platysma bands to be exposed which ages me 10+ years when I’m only 25
Its possible to do fat grafting to the neck after chin lipo. But if your platysmal bands are separated you may want to see your surgeon to see what can be done with things like botox to the bands or even possibly a platysmaplasty, which may improve the look of the jawline even further.
Great question! The chin lipo refers to the area right under the chin, the neck part more refers to the sides of the neck under the jawline back towards the ear. And absolutely, both can be done in the same procedure. In fact, I would recommend it for most patients!
Fat removal anywhere is technically possible. But there can be increased risks. Fat removal in the cheeks with lipo is not a procedure I do. I tend to look at the fat in the cheeks as one that will help maintain a youthful look for a longer period of time as you age.
Is it quite common to get enlarged lymph nodes in the neck post chin lipo? I've read some people get that? Is that because the body is fighting inflammation?
That is a great question. While I have not had any of my patients have enlarged lymph nodes post op it is possible to happen. And I would agree that it is likely due to the surrounding inflammation from the procedure itself.
About 7 to 10 days of wearing a compression wrap on your head night and day and then about 7 days at night only. Usually patients are back in the gym and regular activities by week three. Full results are seen at 6 months after surgery
@@ThePlasticLifeHi doc, I’m 5 days post op of getting neck lipo/J plasma. Why do I have to wear the gauze around my neck? I’m sure my doctor told me but a lot was going on. I’m 32 btw idk if that matters with the speed of recovery. Thanks!
What area of your neckline do you want to see look better?

So then why haven’t you done it?
Hahaha! Cause I’m too busy doing it for other people! I’ll be sure to tag you after I finally get around to it.

@@lorenzomares4242 True. But if you watched the video he says he’s just waiting to get rid of his own double chin.
@@user-pc3xb4hd8iIf I’m a surgeon myself I’d have major trust issues and very high standards for other people’s work done on me 😅

I just did lipo of the neck in mid January but on did right under the neck. How long would I have to wait and do it with you?

Doctor, Chin lipo and neck lipo is same
procedure or different?
Great question! The chin lipo refers to the area right under the chin, the neck part more refers to the sides of the neck under the jawline back towards the ear. And absolutely, both can be done in the same procedure. In fact, I would recommend it for most patients!
@@ThePlasticLife Thankyou doctor! Can chin liposuction and neck liposuction be done at the same time?
what’s the going rate for chin Lipo?
Great question! Depending on what you need and what part of the world you are in it can range from $2000 to $8000 or more.
Can this be done in the cheek rather than buccal removal
Fat removal anywhere is technically possible. But there can be increased risks. Fat removal in the cheeks with lipo is not a procedure I do. I tend to look at the fat in the cheeks as one that will help maintain a youthful look for a longer period of time as you age.
Why dont you get this procedure?
Great question! I’m actually planning to. Just have to find the time to do it. When I do I’ll be sure to post a video about it!
@@ThePlasticLife hell yeah,good luck!
How much is this?
Hi there! This procedure in our office starts at $3500 depending on what needs to be done. It can vary from office to office around the country though
Can you make a video on how to properly massage after chin lipo. I am 5 weeks post op and don’t see a big difference
Absolutely! That video is on the list and in the works to be made soon!
How much would this cost
Hello! This procedure in our office is$3500 for most people. However depending on of there is skin laxity then it could be more.

@@ThePlasticLife Thank you so much, Dr! And thanks for the great video!
I think chin LIPO and jowls is better then fat pad
What is the recovery ❤️🩹 time for neck and chin lipo procedure?
About 7 to 10 days of wearing a compression wrap on your head night and day and then about 7 days at night only. Usually patients are back in the gym and regular activities by week three. Full results are seen at 6 months after surgery
@@ThePlasticLifeHi doc, I’m 5 days post op of getting neck lipo/J plasma. Why do I have to wear the gauze around my neck? I’m sure my doctor told me but a lot was going on. I’m 32 btw idk if that matters with the speed of recovery. Thanks!
@@FrankLucas3did it hurt?
@@VoVina111 no it didn’t hurt but don’t open your eyes while the surgery is going on cause it’s intense lol
@@FrankLucas3 ikr that's the part that worries me most 😅 don't they put a towel on your face so that you don't look? Haha
