I had liposuction to remove some fat under my chin, as I've always been incredibly self-conscious of that area of my face. As you can see from the photos, there was fairly significant bruising, but by the 5th or 6th day I could almost cover it with makeup (Tarte Shape Tape and some color corrector). I had the surgery Wednesday afternoon, and went back to work on Monday morning, albeit with some bruising still visible. There was only a small incision under my chin that healed up very quickly.
The extreme close-up is an idea of what my chin looked like before, and the photo of me in a bowler is a fairly good idea of what I look like now. It's subtle, but I see a world of difference.
Overall, the staff and Dr. Widenhouse were very attentive to my care, even if they ran late for every single appointment besides the consultation. On the day of surgery, I had all of my questions answered diligently by the anesthesiologist (all of my surgical questions had been answered at previous appointments), and I felt well cared for. I'm mostly pleased with the results of my surgery aside from a very small irregularity on the left side of my upper neck that is only perceptible to me.
Dr. Widenhouse is a good surgeon who completes his procedures at a very low price for his patients. I didn't feel like he was cutting too many corners, just that he was making sure to keep costs as low as possible for me. It didn't bother me or affect my results, but if that approach to surgery bothers you, just keep that in mind when shopping for a surgeon.
My procedure and all appointments were $1950 for liposuction under my jaw and down my neck (for "submental fullness" or "a double chin"). That included all appointments, procedures, anesthesia, post-surgical garments, and everything. Finally, when I brought up the small irregularity on my left upper neck, Dr. Widenhouse offered to correct it. I don't think it needs that, but I would go back to him if I changed my mind.
I am SO glad that I had this procedure done. I've disliked this area of my face for most of my life, and since I turned 30, I figured that I had waited long enough to try and make peace with it. I couldn't, and I am thrilled at my results with surgery.
