What is Chin and Neck Liposuction?

LiposuctionNeck and jaw resurfacing is one of the most valuable procedures in clinical plastic surgery. Due to the short procedure time, low risk and relative cheapness, the patient's appearance changes dramatically.

How long does it take to recover after neck liposuction?
Recovery time after cervical liposuction depends on the individual situation and the extent of the procedure. Typically, the day after surgery, patients can return to daily activities and work within 2 weeks of surgery. Constant pressure on the neck may last for several weeks. Minor bruising and swelling are considered normal. Symptoms usually subside after the first week, but tension may persist for several months.
How painful is chin liposuction (chin liposuction)?
Pain from lipolysis under the chin is usually mild. Because it is a minimally invasive surgery, only a small incision is needed to insert the cannula, and there is little soft tissue damage, so the pain is relatively mild. With the use of post-operative pain medication and a compression garment, pain is usually less of a problem.
Will you stay awake during your chin liposuction?
Liposuction can be performed under local or general anesthesia. If local anesthesia is used, the patient is fully awake throughout the procedure. Anxious patients are often sedated before surgery, which means you may not be fully awake.
How to sleep after chin liposuction?
Falling asleep after liposuction can be difficult, especially for those who prefer to sleep on their stomachs. For at least 1 to 2 weeks after surgery, sleep on your back with your head elevated on 2 pillows. Avoid turning your head from side to side if possible.
How long will the results of chin liposuction last?
Chin and neck liposuction removes fat from the chin and upper neck. If your weight stays the same, the results should last a long time. If you gain weight, you store fat in these areas. Although most of the fat cells are removed, the remaining fat cells can grow to four times their normal size. Skin may sag as we age, but the process is slow and gradual. The most important thing you can do to prevent this process is to lead a healthy lifestyle and avoid obesity.
How long will it take to see results after chin liposuction?
After the first week, you'll start noticing a difference. Final results are usually visible after six months. Since edema is common after liposuction surgery, it can take several weeks to subside, even with compression devices and massage techniques. It may take up to 6 months for the skin to harden.
Will chin liposuction fail?
Complications are possible with any surgical procedure and these will be discussed with Dr. Doyle during the consultation. The recovery period is also very important. With timely medication and appropriate clothing, the risk of complications is very low.
Can I drive after chin liposuction?
Liposuction under local anesthesia is an outpatient procedure, and you can drive after the procedure. If you are receiving any type of sedation or general anesthesia, it is best not to drive for 24 hours after surgery.
Will the fat come back after chin liposuction?
If fat is broken down to maintain weight, the fat generally doesn't come back. If you gain weight, your body's fat cells grow. Since there are fewer fat cells on the neck and chin after liposuction, there will be less tension in this area than if you hadn't had liposuction. Many liposuction patients who gain weight still look better than they did without liposuction.
Why am I skinny but my face is chubby?
Genetics play an important role in determining the structure of our body parts. It can be any color eyes, face, height etc. Genetic traits can also affect face shape. A round face will make you look fuller than a square face.
Why do I have a thick neck but I'm thin?
If you're thin but have a lot of neck fat, you may be genetically predisposed to developing stubborn fat under the chin. Other causes of double chins in thin people include poor posture and age.
Why am I skinny but have a double chin?
If you're thin and have a double chin, you may have a genetic predisposition to accumulate stubborn fat under your chin. Stubborn fat accumulation is a genetic predisposition. In such cases, liposuction can be very effective.

- do facial exercises
