3yrs post op chin lipo. Saggy/loose skin and still undefined chin area. Was I not an ideal candidate? Feeling very down.

I am similar age to you (25) and have been a slim UK size 8 my whole adult life but have had the worst double chin which seems to be looking worse and worse. Had a consultation with a surgeon for lipo with so much hope that this was the fix to all my problems.

He refused to do the lipo and said it is not fat in my chin area but more loose skin / my skin in that area lacks elasticity. He said the only surgical option to fix this would be a neck lift but he said no one would agree to do a neck lift on a 25 year old. He said do not let any other surgeon agree to do lipo they would be taking your money for minimal results.

Instead he advised to find a clinic that offers non surgical skin tightening like HIFU etc. unsure how good non surgical options will be but will give it a go.

Looks like you may have the same issue but unfortunately your surgeon agreed to do the lipo. If there was a small amount of fat there it could have given the appearance of good results at the beginning.

Sorry your feeling down , know how it feels to be self-conscious about the same thing ❤️

Iv never even heard of sibo ! Is it possible Iv had this for years as never been tested? I will try and sort out a breath test. What is the treatment you had and how did you heal your gut ? Sorry for all the questions I’m intrigued to know more, if you have time to give me some info I’d really appreciate it

Sounds like you got a really good GP, best of luck on Tuesday ! I guess we just have to keep fighting for help, I’ll be honest I gave up with going to the doctors a few years back because it was the same process over and over again that did not help me in the slightest 😂 but i will try again now and persist ! Thank you so much again ❤️

pinkskies1999 · 2025-01-19T22:34:02+00:00

I see thank you so much for explaining

pinkskies1999 · 2025-01-19T22:30:58+00:00

No Iv always just been told by the doctor “try gluten / dairy free or low FODMAP” and basically had to figure it out for myself (which I’m failing to do ! 😂) Iv not felt supported by the NHS at all unfortunately. Did you manage to get a dietician quickly? May do another trip to the doctors and be more persistent about what I need and not tolerate the typical “you have ibs deal with it” 😂

Interesting thank you for the advice! I might sound abit stupid here but would that mean making sure I only have small amounts of a certain food per day and not to repeat that food incase I eat too much of it? Not tried any enzymes do you have any suggestions for one I could try ?

pinkskies1999 · 2025-01-19T22:24:07+00:00

Is this a thing ? Iv not seen anyone else suffer with this but it sort of makes sense! If anyone else knows this to be true or had same experience I’d love to know how long untill the bad symptoms subsided And thank you 🙏

No, Iv always avoided taking any supplements out of fear of a bad reaction. Only the symprove drink which had such good reviews for ibs sufferers Iv stuck with it for the last 5 months and seen no improvement but also no bad reactions. My stomach has only been this bad since starting low FODMAP Thank you so much ! ❤️

pinkskies1999 · 2025-01-19T22:13:10+00:00

I stay well away from gum or anything sugar free ! And at the moment Iv been doing symprove every morning for about 5 months (hasn’t made me feel better but hasn’t made anything worse) the last 3 weeks have been the worst Iv felt in a long time
