Facial Sculpting Before & After Case 145

A double-chin or submental fullness naturally develops with age, but can be present from an earlier age too. Fat is one of the primary factors that contributes to submental fullness and tends to accumulate under the chin, despite a healthy diet and regular exercise. Plastic surgeons have a variety of surgical and non-surgical options to treat submental fullness, which we reviewed in a previous blog post. As with many cosmetic procedures, there isn't one "best" option for all patients. Plastic surgeons tailor procedures to the needs and preferences of each patient.

This Washington DC patient always had a softness to the neck, similar to other family members. The patient had considered the many neck lift options available, and consulted with Dr. Chaboki to help provide guidance. Computer simulation allowed visualization of potential aesthetic results before committing to any surgery. The patient chose neck liposuction to improve the submental fullness. The chin and jawline are now more defined, and the neck has been lifted with liposuction.
