WHAT IS DOUBLE CHIN SURGERY?
Double Chin Surgery is the procedure of removing fatty tissue around the area of the neck, chin, and jawline and thus getting rid of the double chin. This treatment successfully eliminates fat from beneath the skin, sculpts and contours the chin and neck.
Double chin, also called submental fullness, is created when an extra layer of fat is formed beneath the chin. As the skin ages, it becomes more loose, and results in sagging around the area of the neck. It can also be a result of other causes, including hereditary factors, weight, anatomy and airway positioning.
The treatment focuses on reducing the fat and tightening the skin area. It will help you better-shape your face, look thinner and younger, as it also reduces the wrinkles.
HOW IS IT PERFORMED?
-
There are several ways to perform a double chin surgery. According to your type of skin and the anatomy of your face and neck, the surgeon will propose the most suitable procedure for your needs and desires.
Chin Liposuction
With Chin Liposuction, fat is carefully removed from beneath the skin and the chin and neck contour is sculpted in detail. As it is a minimally invasive procedure, there is only a small incision made under the skin to insert a tube and suck out the fatty cells. Liposuction typically requires only local anesthetic to numb the general area.
Chin Liposuction is performed with the newest technique Vaser Lipo. Since its approval by the FDA in 2002, it has become the most widely utilized surgery technique in the UK. It can be performed using either local anesthetic or a superficial sleep state, which is safer and faster to recover from. Depending on the amount of fat to be removed, the procedure can last 1-2 hours.
WHAT SHOULD I BE CAREFUL WITH?
Double Chin Surgery is a safe treatment with minimal and short-term side effects. However, like any type of surgery, there are some risks associated with it, such as infection and swelling.
You should be careful and inform your doctor of your medical history, as the general anesthesia used for some double chin surgeries could be associated with serious risks for people with serious health conditions. Smokers and people taking heavy drugs, may also face increased bleeding risk during any surgical procedure.
RECOVERY PERIOD – POST TREATMENT CARE
As in any surgical cosmetic treatment, you can expect to experience no more than 10 to 14 days of bruising and swelling. Scars from the incisions will fully heal after 1-2 months.
Most people can return to work and other daily activities within a week or two. Recovery is faster after chin liposuction than after neck lift.
