I underwent chin liposuction in August 19, 2021. From the beginning, I noticed that one side had more residual fat than the other. Now that I have healed, I can see lumps, bumps, unevenness, and lines. My surgeon has suggested a revision procedure to remove a little more fat around my jawline, but I'm apprehensive that it might worsen the appearance. What would you recommend? Should I leave it as is or proceed with the revision?
In my opinion, revision work is more challenging than primary liposuction. If a provider was not able to achieve satisfactory results the first time, it may indicate a lack of skill and an increased risk of making things worse during a revision. However, there can be advantages to staying with the same provider, as they may offer revisions at a discounted rate compared to starting over with a new provider. The results you have shown do not appear to be from someone who has mastered liposuction. Ultimately, it is your decision whether you have enough confidence in the provider to perform the revision, or if you should seek consultations with other plastic surgeons in your area. Delivering consistent high-quality liposuction results requires talent and experience, so choosing the most skilled and experienced provider in your community is crucial to minimize undesirable outcomes. Good luck in your decision-making.
In my experience, a combination of VASER liposuction and Renuvion or ThermiRF yields the best results for chin contouring in suitable candidates. However, Kybella can be considered as an alternative and may be more effective when combined with treatments like Thermage, Ultherapy, Exilis, TruSculpt iD, or CoolSculpting. I recommend seeking a consultation with a facial sculpting expert for a thorough evaluation. Best regards.
Redoing chin/neck liposuction with a mini neck lift/SMAS plication can address the appearance. Fees can range around $10,000.
