Chin Implants Before & After Case 223

This 39 year old was referred to Dr. Parker by another patient, requesting improvement in the fullness of her neck and her weak chin. She says these are family traits. The patient is 5’5″ tall and weighs 127 pounds. During the patient’s initial consultation, Dr. Parker explained that the fullness in her neck was due to relatively excessive subcutaneous tissue; liposuction of her neck would address this. In addition, a chin implant could be inserted at the same time to improve the contour of her chin. Dr. Parker supplemented his discussion with the use of computer imaging, showing the patient what she should look like after surgery. Subsequently, under local anesthesia, Dr. Parker performed SAFE liposuction on the patient’s neck, removing 50 cc of fat and inserted a # 3 extended anatomic solid silicone chin implant. The patient tolerated the procedure very well and recovered quickly with little pain after surgery. She is thrilled with the markedly improved appearance of her neck and chin as well as how these two procedures performed together complemented one another.
