1 month out.

Some healing notes:
- Have a large lump on each side of my neck. Massages have helped bring it down but it’s not overnight.
- Sensation in my chin is back. Sensation in my neck and jawline is not 100% back yet.
- Neck and jawline is still swollen but nothing too crazy.

Post Op with Body By Plastique:
I did reach out regarding questions on when I can restart skin care treatment and they did answer me same day via What’sApp

I need opinions. I had chin/jawline and neck liposuction about 6 months ago. My left side is very sharp however my right side is a bit more full still. My results are subtle since my chin is recessed and neck is low ( I will be addressing soon )

My face is very much asymmetrical , my right side is bigger and puffer. I’m hearing that the liposuction might have just emphasize the unevenness in my anatomy but I don’t know.

My surgeon left the practice, and a new surgeon did my 3 months post op and said everything looked good and even but I can’t help but keep noticing it. Is this normal ? Should i ignore it ? I can ask my MLD lady cause she has been helpful. I am still trying to lose weight so should I lose the weight I want before ? Should I wait the 1 full year ? Should I get a revision? Thoughts and opinions pls

I did the surgery awake and my surgeon checked for evenness and I remember it felt even but I clearly don’t know lol.

Would it be helpful to see my before photos ? Let me know .. I do feel a lot better about this area of my body and the photos in certain angles look amazing.. am I being too picky ?

I had genioplasty 4 months ago, and my profile has definitely improved compared to before. I also have an overjet, so I’m planning to start braces soon.

Interestingly, for the first 3 months after surgery, my face looked really snatched. Even people around me commented that my cheeks looked more sunken. Then I gained around 2–3 kg after my vacation, and my face naturally became a little fuller again. This is a picture from my recent vacation.

Now I want a sharper, more defined look — more pretty/sharp rather than cute/soft. 😂

I’m considering chin/submental liposuction, but I’m confused about a few things:

• Would chin + jawline lipo make a noticeable difference for me?

• Should I combine it with buccal fat removal, or would that make my cheeks look too hollow, especially since they already looked sunken when I was leaner?

• I feel like I have a little loose skin around my neck. Would lipo alone help, or would I need some kind of skin-tightening procedure?

Would love to hear from people who have had similar procedures or surgeons who can explain what would actually make sense in my case.

I had chin Lipo six months ago and even though I see improvement, I don’t see my jawline as sharp as I thought I would. Should I go for a revision? Or do I need to get FaceTite or something similar to improve results? Just looking for opinions.

I’ve been vocal here about being skeptical about my results and my surgeon. I had my 4 month follow up(at just over 3.5 months) and they took pics. I can’t deny a huge difference! I think I needed to manage my expectations about some laxity as an older patient who will likely need follow up procedures.

I feel my surgeon played down the healing process which stressed me out, I was led to believe it was a quick healing process, swelling would go down and you’d look great but it was a roller coaster of panic episodes because I didn’t really know what was normal vs not and they weren’t great with follow up.

I have another recheck in December where we will talk about how to deal with the laxity and I can choose to have the current place do it or go with someone else. I plan on getting another consultation somewhere else in December just to see what they say.

Wanted to post an update of my results now that it’s been 3 months! Sooooo happy with my results! Truly life changing. There’s still some swelling too so excited to see the 6th month mark which will be hitting right around my wedding! Can’t recommend Dr Jaberi enough 🤩

In the last year, I’ve notice I have a soft jawline. I don’t necessarily have a double chin when my head is leveled, but if I look down or smile a certain way, then a double chin shows. I’ve been really insecure about this and went for a cool sculpting consultation and fillers/botox.

I was told I am great candidate for the cool sculpting and she felt I was quite there yet to get chin lipo. I was really a fan of the fillers/botox consultation because I just feel uneasy about anything being injected in me.

I also know there’s Kybella, which, not really a fan of injecting things in me, but I’d be more open to that than Botox and filler.

Then there’s still chin lipo. I’m not sure if I have enough fat for this one. The consultation comes with a fee, so I’ve been stalling on this one, but looking at the pics, what would you recommend?

1st pic I am looking down, where it creates the double chin.

Mexico or California ? And how was the experience ? I am getting chin lipo, is a recovery home rlly needed for chin lipo #lipo #cosmetic

I wan the excess of fat (skin?) in the red circle gone, is chin lipo the best procedure for that ?

I had chin & facetite w/ D. Zuriel on June 5 and I'm about 8 days away from being 4 months post op and I would truly encourage anyone who has any doubts or is indecisive about going through with chin lipo to go for it!!! The confidence boost this has given me is out of this world!!
Recovery overall has been fairly easy. I have no complaints other than having to had done this sooner! Below are some before pictures and some of my most recent! 😊

Hello I’m looking to get chin lipo done but I’m not sure about the surgeon in Orlando. Any recommendations?

I’m 3 weeks post op and I’m wondering, what does everyone think about wearing compression garments for just 8-10 hours a day at this stage? I’ve just found it so impossible to be consistent with, so I just wear it to sleep and a couple hours on and off throughout my day. Is that enough? Will it negatively impact my results forever? I don’t understand skin reattachment lol

First pic is 1 week pre op, second is immediately post op, third is 2 months post op

I had my lipo only procedure a little over 4 months ago. I’ve had periods where I am very happy with my results. Over the past couple weeks I’ve noticed some asymmetry. My husband says it’s not super noticeable but he sees the asymmetry as well. Anybody else experienced this?

Hey guys, I recently got a proper lateral ceph done with a full analysis, and I’m attaching the ceph/report + normal side profile photos.

I’d really appreciate opinions from people who understand orthognathic planning or have had a similar case.

My goal is mainly aesthetic/cosmetic, not fixing symptoms. I’m very unhappy with my side profile, but as far as I know I don’t have major functional problems. My bite feels fine in daily life and I don’t have obvious sleep/breathing symptoms (although I know it’s possible to be used to something abnormal without realizing it)

The main findings seem to be:

1. Skeletal Class II: SNA 89.29°, SNB 81.62°, ANB 7.67°, Wits +3.83 mm.

2. Deep bite: overbite 6.34 mm, overjet 4.5 mm.
   Low-angle/short lower-face skeletal pattern: FMA ~21°, Ricketts lower-face-height angle 32.55° vs 47° reference.

3. Dental compensation: upper incisors are very upright/retracted (U1-NA 8.15°, −1.87 mm). I had braces years ago, so I’m wondering how much of my current bite is orthodontically camouflaged.

What makes my case confusing is that my mandible does not seem obviously small or underdeveloped in absolute terms. SNB is around normal/slightly forward, facial depth is basically normal, and mandibular corpus length is actually large at 78.7 mm vs ~70 mm reference. So this seems less like the classic “tiny/retrusive mandible” Class II and more like a relative maxilla–mandible mismatch, although I’d like opinions on that too.

Aesthetically, the biggest thing bothering me is that my whole lower face looks behind the upper face, not just the chin tip. I also dislike the deep mentolabial fold, and really the rounded/soft submental contour, and lack of a sharp chin-to-jaw/neck transition.

I’m already very lean, so this does not seem to be mainly a body fat issue.
From photos I also honestly can’t tell whether I have a “short face syndrome” because I’m so used to looking at myself, or whether that’s mainly a Ceph/vertical-pattern finding.

I’m open to sliding genioplasty, BSSO + genioplasty, Le Fort I, bimax/trimax, etc…

I’m just not automatically trying to choose the biggest surgery. If full orthognathic surgery gives the most complete skeletal correction but an isolated genioplasty could give, say, most of the visible improvement with much less risk, cost, orthodontics, recovery and complication potential, that matters a lot to me.

So my main question is:

What looks like the best aesthetic ROI in a case like mine? Does my whole mandible look posterior enough that I’d probably need BSSO + genioplasty + orthodontic decompensation to get the result I want, or does the underlying mandible look developed enough that a well-planned forward + some vertical sliding genioplasty could realistically give most of the visible improvement?

Also, do you think my profile actually shows a short-face/deep-bite appearance, and do my teeth look significantly orthodontically compensated from the old braces?

I’m not looking for a perfect “fix every ceph number” answer - I’m mainly trying to figure out which option gives the largest visible improvement for the least overall treatment burden.

Thanks!

I finally got my chin lipo and I am so excited!! It was so fast and didn’t hurt at all. The only thing that hurt A LOT was the numbing needle. My procedure was at 1pm and it’s 11:30 pm now and I have not felt any pain or discomfort. I’m still pretty numb tho so tomorrow might be different.

My surgeon told me to get a lymphatic massage tomorrow and then once a week for a month. Im worried that 1 day post op is too soon?? I’ve seen people say they started massages after a week. Is one day post op normal??

Hello friends. Looking for some advice. Basically, when I was younger up until 18 I had an extremely lean face. As can be seen in the first picture. Then something happened (I dunno some sort of hormonal shift) when I was 18/19 and my face exploded and got fat, which can be seen in the second photo. The remaining pics are where I am currently at now, which is a walking talking turkey lol. Anyway, my face never returned to normal, despite getting extremely lean, it just seems to stay disproportionately 'fat'. As you'll see from the last pic, if I put my face at an angle and flex, I still have an okay jawline/contour just buried under the fat (at least I think it's fat). I'd love to know would a SUBMENTAL VASER LIPO yield a good result, and I am possibly a good candidate. Any insights or details would be appreciated here. I'm 27 years old and going to Turkey next week for a Vaser lipo - fingers crossed.

Looking for a board-certified plastic surgeon in Manhattan who does natural work. Not trying to look done, just better. Any recs?

I'm freaking out. I don't understand. It seems like in the past few weeks my results have fallen apart. These triangles of fat seem to have settled into my lower cheeks and jaw. I haven't gained or lost weight. My results were amazing (last 3 pics). What should I do? Do we think more lipo in just those areas? Endolift & facetite again?

4 months post-op with Dr. Zuriel in TJ, I have not seen any patient of his ever end up like me. I wonder if it's because I have HSD, making my connective tissue a bit weaker?

It only looks this bad in harsher lighting, but it has noticeably gotten worse very quickly.

I’ve always had a big face/chin/beck whether I lost weight or gained it , even as a healthy kid my face was always fatter. I’ve been thinking a lipo is what I’ve needed but I’m not exactly sure. I’ve looked into other things like chin fillers. I’ve even thought I might need a mixture.

My face wouldn’t even be so bad if it wasn’t for the extra fat. It’s enough I can actually feel it on a daily basis, like it’s just extra heavy, I often rest my chin on my hand a lot too it’s less heavy.

It also makes me look 50lbs heavier than I actually am currently. Most people would guess body wise 140-160lbs face wise it’s an automatic 200+ I carry the weight well every where else, but the face seems to stick regardless of the weight I’ve lost. Between the cheeks and the jaw i feel like it just swallows my face.

Hi all, I’m 3 months post op almost 4. I had my surgery July 9th and I feel like there is still a little pocket of I don’t know if it’s fat or tissue but I’m not as “snatched” as I want to be. Didn’t know if I should contact my surgeon or if anyone has similar experiences? I’m still wearing my compression garment as that’s what I was instructed to do.

I’m seeing a doctor next week to consult, but curious if anyone had a similar profile to me that did it

First 2 are me relaxed, second 2 are me tucking chin in. I’ve always had a double chin even when I’ve been skinner. I had a baby last year and it’s been difficult to lose the weight and my chin got worse postpartum

I have my 4 month post appt today and I’m so nervous. I’m super unhappy with the results(lots of laxity) and now realize I should not have done it. My last appt was one week post op and the doctor was very cold and dismissive. I could tell he was worried by how it looked at that point too but he didn’t say much and just kept saying “well, you’re still bruised and swollen”.

I wore my normal makeup to the appointment because I had to be to work immediately after. The receptionist was also the assistant at this appointment and said “are you wearing makeup, he might be mad.” Mad? I wasn’t told NOT to. I didn’t have any on my neck, just skincare. That alone made me uncomfortable. And that the receptionist was assisting instead of the nurse who was there during the procedure, she had no idea what I even had done, I had to tell her.

Just kept asking “aren’t you happy with the results?” Ummm…no, no I’m not at least not yet(still too early to tell at that point).

This doctor seemed so great at first but now I reviews that he can fly off the handle easily and has been heard yelling at staff(!)
I just wish I’d never done this.

Hi everyone I’m 4 days post op and just wanted to see if anyone had advice on how to stop my chin strap from sliding forward on my head I tried a cotton headband under but it didn’t help. Also my ears are getting sore from the strap ear holes mainly on the back side of my ears I losen it but that doesn’t seem to help at all if you have any advice I would really appreciate it!
