r/chinlipo

I have more swelling in my right side than my left side, so when I post an ‘after’ from the right side, I sometimes get rude comments, and when I post a pic from the left side people go OMG who was your doc! So, quick little reminder to everyone on this sub: be kind to one another. 🤍 Debated stopping posting because of it, but lurkers will be lurkers and we’re all just here to share our journeys, right?
I got a steroid injection on my right side today, so fingers crossed!

I'm about 12 weeks post op and feel like I've been seeing more progress recently. I have been having some banding and that seems to have decreased a bit. My jawline is slightly weak, so I don't think my results will be super snatched when I'm completely healed but I'm hoping it will improve a bit more as straight on it looks better, but in other positions I still get double chin easily.

I feel like I got a mini facelift of my lower face lol. I had my awake chin lipo 15 hours ago, I might have a good pain tolerance but pain was like 3 out of 10 for me. It was more of a gross feeling of listening and feeling something inside my skin pulling. I’m at my ideal weight of 133lbs but I still couldn’t get rid of this fat pocket. I only took one Tylenol and some antibiotics that were prescribed and I will wear my compression garment for a week 23hrs a day.

Edit: My dr is Dr Gardner in Plastics MD ❤️

Best decision I’ve ever made for myself. Prior to this- I had worked so hard for years to get in shape (290->200), only to be left with a terrible neck/jawline that I was self conscious about.

The MD is Dr. Berardi- Scottsdale AZ. He does amazing and appropriate work. Initially I had no intention of a chin implant, but he explained facial proportions etc and made the right move.

I’m 41 and have always had a fuller face, even at a lower BMI. My main concern is my fuller lower cheeks from the front view, and secondarily some softness in my jawline/under chin area.

I’m curious whether chin lip will make an improvement or if procedures like buccal fat removal and/or a facelift might be needed (possibly in conjunction). I’m not trying to look super snatched or dramatically different — just a bit more definition and structure while still looking like myself.

Has anyone with a similar facial structure had good results? I’m 5’6” and 135 - I could probably lose 10 lbs of fat.

Hey everyone, just for some context I’m 37, 6’3 and about 210 lbs
Been dealing with the double chin my whole life. Even when I got down to 185lbs it was still there.
Just wondering if anyone has had a similar profile and what your results where or if it would require more than just chin lipo.

I have a consult in Houston this Friday, but I guess I’m just trying to preemptively get some opinions.

I am actively losing weight but I’m too impatient so I did my double chin lipo. I am aware that I have to do it if Im near my goal weight, but my chin fat is so stubborn. My doctor told me that I have loose fat too.

Can you guys see the changes? I’m on Day 3 now. The after photo is immediately after the operation. Do you think he didn’t take enough fat? I have lympathic drainage coming up, and HIFU as well.

And I am in the midst of my weight loss journey as well.

God please someone talk me off the ledge. Photo on the left is pre-op and phot on the right is 2 months post-op. Now I know my surgeon took A LOT of fat out from under my chin, you wouldn’t even believe how much but now I feel like my jowls are worse 😭 has anyone else run into this? Is it swelling? I had a chin implant and rhinoplasty done at the same time and you can see my nose is swollen, but I’m so upset about the jowls!

It’s something I’ve wanted for a long time. I’ve tried the chin filler route and didn’t love the results.

Am i a candidate for chin liposuction

Had a fabulous experience with Dr. Caroline Min in Pasadena. Procedure was beyond easy but felt extremely weird. Indescribable and not comparable to anything I’ve felt before, but the pain was an absolute non issue. Slept most of the day away and woke up pretty sore but took my first round of pain meds and feelin good! Can’t wait to unwrap tomorrow morning and see what’s going on underneath 👀
