Double Chin Liposuction
Double chin liposuction is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess fat beneath the chin and along the neck.
What is Double Chin Liposuction?
Double chin liposuction is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess fat beneath the chin and along the neck. Also known as submental liposuction or liposuction under the chin, this treatment specifically targets the fat that causes the appearance of a double chin.
It’s a form of facial liposuction that helps define the jawline and create a more contoured, youthful profile. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia and involves small incisions through which fat is suctioned out.
FAQ’s
How long do results from double chin liposuction last?
Results are typically long-lasting as the fat cells removed during the procedure do not return. Make sure to maintain a stable weight to preserve the outcome.
Is chin liposuction painful?
Most patients report only mild discomfort during recovery, which can be managed with over-the-counter or prescribed pain medication. The procedure itself is done under local anesthesia or sedation.
Will there be visible scars?
The incisions made for liposuction under the chin are very small and usually hidden in natural creases, making any scarring minimal and barely noticeable once healed.
Double Chin Liposuction Quick Facts:
| Cost of Double Chin Liposuction | TBD |
|---|---|
| Duration of Surgery | 1-2 hours |
| Hospital Stay Required? | No |
| Stitches Removed | 5-7 days |
| Days of Social Downtime | 3-5 days |
After Surgery:
After the procedure, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort in the treated area. A compression garment may be worn around the chin and neck to minimize swelling and support healing.
Most people can return to work and daily activities after 3-5 days, though strenuous activity should be avoided for at least a week. Full results are usually visible after several weeks once the swelling subsides. Long-term results can be maintained with a healthy lifestyle.
Why Have Double Chin Liposuction?
Double chin liposuction offers both aesthetic and emotional benefits. It helps remove stubborn double chin fat that doesn’t respond to diet or exercise, leading to a more sculpted and attractive look.
The treatment also improves jawline contour and overall facial balance. Compared to non-surgical methods, double chin fat removal with liposuction typically produces faster, more dramatic, and longer-lasting results.
What to Expect Before Surgery:
Follow pre-operative instructions: You will be provided with detailed pre-operative instructions by your surgeon. These may include avoiding medications that promote bleeding, making sure you have all the medications you’ll need post-operatively and when to stop eating and drinking the night before.
Arrange for help: You will need someone to pick you up from the clinic or hospital and take you home as you may be groggy from the medication.
Plan for your recovery: Downtime for chin liposuction varies from person to person. It may take about a few days before you can comfortably carry out regular household tasks or get back to work. Make sure to take adequate time off and designate a safe, comfortable space for your recovery.
How to Prepare for the Procedure
Do your research
A consultation and medical evaluation with a qualified Plastic Surgeon is the first step in preparing for double chin lipo. During your initial meeting you can learn more about the procedure, discuss your treatment objectives and options, as well as potential complications.
Quit smoking
If you’re a smoker it’s best to quit smoking at least six weeks in advance. Nicotine and other chemicals in tobacco can constrict blood vessels and impair your body’s ability to heal adequately post surgery.
Make necessary lifestyle changes
In the weeks leading up to your surgery, prepare yourself mentally and physically. This includes maintaining a healthy diet and body weight, and avoiding certain medications/substances that can slow your healing process.
ELEGIBILITY The Ideal Candidate for Double Chin Liposuction
Be at a stable weight: Since fluctuations in weight can affect the results of your double chin liposuction, an ideal candidate should be at a stable weight before undergoing the procedure.
Have good skin elasticity: This will allow the skin to tighten naturally after the fat is removed. Those with significant skin laxity or sagging might require an additional procedure like a neck lift.
Have realistic expectations: Patients should be fully advised about what a chin and neck fat reduction can achieve.
Be committed to recovery: A full recovery can take up to several weeks. An ideal candidate should have the time and ability to devote to following post-operative instructions.
