Chin, Jowls & Neck Liposuction

Perfect Your Facial Profile with a Sleek New Jawline

People of all ages can be affected by excess flesh in the chin, jowls and neck. Weight gain is an obvious contributing factor, as is age, which comes with the dreaded double chin, sagging jowls and neck rolls. Exercises won't get rid of double chins, but with liposuction, you can get rid of a double chin, enhance your jaw line, and achieve the perfect profile.

Having a liposuction surgeon eliminate your chin, jowl and neck fat tissue with liposculpture is much easier and safer than undergoing traditional liposuction. The process is simple:

• A local anesthetic numbs the area. Sometimes that is combined with a mild sedative to relax the patient.
• Your liposculpture surgeon gently melts the fat directly under the skin using a laser, which encourages the skin to tighten.
• He or she places small, discrete incisions to begin the suctioning process with a cannula, which is about the width of a cooked spaghetti noodle.
• Slow, gentle movements remove the fat, resulting in limited pain, fewer bruises and a rapid recovery.
• The procedure lasts about an hour.
• Laser lipo is permanent. Once fat cells are removed from the body, they do not grow back.

FAQs

Why choose chin, jowls and neck liposuction?

Anyone with excess facial fat can benefit from this procedure. Chin and jowl liposuction gives you a more defined jawline and an improved facial profile. Neck liposuction targets lax skin and neck wrinkles, eliminating or reducing neck rolls and improving your profile. Recovery is quick and post-op bruising and pain is minimal. Results are permanent, so you never have to worry about that jawline again.

Am I a good candidate?

This is a safe procedure for most men and women. Anyone over the age of 60 might need to take extra precautions and might want to consider further skin-tightening procedures for loose skin. A consultation with the liposuction doctor can address these issues. Anyone under the age of 60 with good skin tone will generally not have sagging skin and will see an improvement in skin tone and firmness. This procedure is designed to promote skin tightening as the fat is removed. However, people who have experienced dramatic weight loss might experience sagging or lax skin.

Can chin, jowls and neck liposuction be combined with other procedures?

Certainly. Tumescent liposuction of the chin, jowls and neck can be performed concurrently with any liposuction procedure so that you can customize and perfect your problem areas.

Will I have any scars after my procedure?

This procedure leaves only a couple of small incision sites, each about 3mm wide. The puncture sites naturally close within a day or two, fading into the natural color of the surrounding skin. Scarring does not usually occur.

What are the post-op procedures?

You might experience mild discomfort. You can walk immediately, enjoy light to medium activities and return to work in a day or two. A compression garment similar to a headband is worn for 72 hours. You can wash and shave your face normally after the first 24 hours.

A small amount of swelling for a week or more after the procedure is normal, which will subside over the following weeks. Patients experience minimal to no pain. With liposuction of the chin, jowls and neck, no stitches are used, and the tiny puncture wounds naturally close within two days.
