Before & After

Before After

Chin Liposuction Patient 120

This 27-year-old woman (5' 6 ", 160 pounds) was seeking a more proportionate contour for her neck below the chin after finding that diet and exercise alone did not address her concerns. She was particularly focused on reducing the diet-resistant fat in this area. She underwent liposuction of the chin (submental) region, with a total of 70 ccs removed. The after photos, taken three months post-procedure, highlight the refined contour of her chin and neck. She was very pleased with the results, which aligned with her expectations and boosted her confidence in her overall appearance.

Before After

Facelift Patient 3

This 54-year-old man was concerned about the appearance of his neck following a 30-pound weight loss. He underwent a full facelift, which included liposuction, skin removal, and repositioning. Approximately 130 grams (0.28 pounds) of fat was removed from his neck, along with skin removal and repositioning in the area. About one year after his initial procedure, he also underwent scar revision to soften the appearance of scar tissue. His new profile achieved the look he desired, and he is very satisfied with his results. The after photos, taken eighteen months post-procedure, highlight his transformation.

Before After

Facelift Patient 19

This 60-year-old active woman was dissatisfied with the appearance of her jawline and neck. She opted for a facelift with a lower neck lift and laser resurfacing, achieving a refined and very natural look. The after photos, taken seven months post-procedure, highlight her impressive progress.
