If you don’t have a lot of unwanted fat around your chin or you are hesitant about plastic surgery, non-surgical fat removal treatments may help. CoolSculpting can slim and tone the neck by freezing fat cells, but results may be less significant than those obtained with liposuction. CoolSculpting is a good alternative for patients who don’t qualify for or don’t wish to undergo surgery.
Chin lipo begins by making small incisions and injecting the area with numbing tumescent fluid. The doctor then liquifies the fat using Laser Lipo before using a suction cannula to remove the excess fat cells from the chin and sculpt the jawline using facial liposuction. Finally, the doctor uses Renuvion’s radio frequency and helium plasma technology to tighten the skin for up to 65% retraction. The result is a more defined jawline and desirable profile.
After your chin liposuction procedure, you will be fitted with a chin strap-style compression garment to reduce swelling and discomfort. Patients wear the compression garment for 24-hours for 3 days after surgery then 12-hours/day for 2 weeks – most wear after work, overnight, until they go to work the next day.
Submental liposuction sculpts the chin and neck area by removing fat deposits that create a double chin. The amount of fat removed and your skin elasticity both play a part in your final results. After your double chin removal, you will notice a much slimmer, more youthful contour. We recommend adhering to a wholesome diet and regular exercise schedule to maintain great results.
If you have a lack of definition in your jawline, you may also benefit from a chin implant or fillers along the jawline to help achieve a sharper neck contour.
Chin liposuction is a safe procedure overall, but just like any surgical treatment, it does have risks. The most common side effect of chin liposuction is bruising and swelling with some mild pain and tenderness. Bruising is not usually extensive, but the swelling can be as bad or slightly worse than what you looked like before the surgery. With any liposuction there is a small risk of damage to the underlying structures or nerve injury.
Double chin surgery is a straightforward surgery with minimal downtime. You will be required to wear your compression garment to help minimize the risk of complications, reduce swelling, and help prevent asymmetry. Many patients are concerned about how long you need to wear the compression after chin Liposuction because it is difficult to hide. Fortunately, the compression for double chin surgery at Imagen is only worn round the clock for 3 days. After that point, you will just wear the compression at night for a total of 2 weeks. We close our neck incisions (which are very tiny!) with a steristrip bandage, so there are no sutures. Some pain, tenderness, bruising, and swelling are common side effects of double chin surgery. Symptoms should subside within a week to two weeks following your treatment. If you’re undergoing double chin liposuction, we recommend taking a few days off work for your recovery period. Swelling and bruising should be mostly resolved within three to six weeks. Full results from the Renuvion procedure and skin tightening will take about 4-6 months.
Liposuction is a form of permanent fat reduction, so the volume in your chin will always be less than it would have been without the surgery. Unfortunately, we haven’t found a way to stop the aging process yet! Because you will continue to age, at some point you may redevelop some level of skin laxity. For this reason, it is important to follow good skin care recommendations such as using sunscreen and taking oral collagen. It is possible to repeat the Renuvion procedure in the future to get more skin tightening. You can also look to treatments like RF microneedling or MyEllevate or even a neck lift with a plastic surgeon if skin laxity becomes an issue as you age in the coming years. Also keep in mind that weight gain may hide your results.
Most of our double chin surgery patients are men and women between the ages of 25-60. You may be a good candidate for double chin removal with liposuction if you’re a healthy adult with bothersome fat in your chin, jaw, or upper neck. Ideal patients should have good skin elasticity. If you have a lot of excess skin, you may benefit from a neck lift.
Preexisting medical conditions may influence your candidacy. You’ll discuss your medical history with the doctor during your free consultation. Be sure to mention any medications that you take, including aspirin and Motrin which can act as blood thinners. If you do qualify, it’s important to have realistic expectations about the outcome of your surgery.
If you can answer ‘yes’ to the following questions, you will likely qualify for the procedure.
