Under chin Liposuction...Anyone Had It?? I've got a couple of questions.?

Good morning. Has anyone had under the chin liposuction or any type of plastic surgery to have a double chin removed? I am not overweight at all, but this is something that I find very troubling. I know it is something I've inherited from my mother's side...my grandmother's eventually was hanging and now my mother's it starting to do that, and my sister and my female cousin has the double chin as do I. I think it ages my look and I'm ready to do something about it. Any experience or if any of you know anyone who's had it done, I would appreciate any information you can provide, especially things like cost, down time, how long it took to heal and if your were pleased with the outcome. Thanks in advance!

I can understand why this bothers you - many of my relatives and siblings have the same problem. And same as you, they're all pretty trim, but they just have this extra skin under their chin that bothers them. I've done some research on it on their behalf - I do think it's a smart preventative measure. It would make you feel better now, of course, but also help keep later sagging to a minimum.

Anyway, I think what you're considering is a neck-lift...it lifts the saggy layers of skin just under your chin and gives you better definition at the base of your face. I'm sure you've found that plastic surgery costs vary based on where you live, but I've found the range to be from around $6,000, up to $10,000. This probably will depend on various fees (operating room, anesthesia...), but also on how much "work" you're having done. Recovery doesn't sound too bad - the day or two after are probably the toughest, as you wear a neck brace, and there's probably a week or two of total "downtime." When you start consulting with doctors, they'll obviously have details, and most will be able to get you touch with a previous patient so you can hear about their experience.

I'm including a good website I found below, hopefully that'll help you learn more. Good luck to you! I definitely think this is a valuable procedure. Source(s): http://www.plasticsurgeryportal.com...

Liposuction surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her breast reduction, tummy tuck and facelift surgery in India by the company called Forerunners Healthcare .The Price for the surgery she paid in India was very less. She paid 30% of the cost she was quoted in America.

Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India. They arrange cosmetic and plastic surgery for foreigners in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low price, as the breast reduction, tummy tuck, facelift and other cosmetic surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.
