Honest risks
- Swelling that hides the result for the first weeks
- Temporary numbness under the chin
- Minor contour irregularity is uncommon and usually settles
Are you a good candidate?
- Good skin elasticity (the skin needs to re-drape)
- Localized fullness under the chin rather than loose skin
- Any age, but elasticity matters more than years
Six questions for every consult
- Are you board-certified, and in what specialty? (Verify it — don't just ask.)
- How many of this exact procedure did you do in the last 12 months?
- Can I see before/afters of patients with my anatomy or skin type?
- Who handles complications, and what's your revision policy and fee?
- Where is the procedure done, and is the facility accredited?
- What results would you consider realistic for me — and what won't this fix?
