Double Chin correction

Facial liposuction, also called submental liposuction is used to correct double chin deformity.It can remove unwanted fat from under the chin and neck, helping to improve your appearance by removing your double chin or  your turkey neck.
Candidacy:
Those with a Double chin or a Turkey Neck and have the following key traits:
  • Younger skin: Skin that has more elasticity will recover and heal faster than aging skin. Youthful skin will recover more quickly as the collagen is rebuilt and the skin cells accommodate for the new shape. A facelift procedure can help with loose skin problems.
  • Stable and healthy weight range: You’ll need to be within a healthy weight range, usually within 30 percent of your ideal weight. Being in good health overall also makes it easier for the face to recover after treatment.
  • You’ve already tried dieting and exercise to lose weight. But still the double chin persists.
 
Procedure:
  • Anesthesia: Facial liposuction is usually done with light sedation plus local anesthesia, unless you are having other facial procedures done at the same time. In that case, it is performed under general anesthesia. Very occasionally it is also done under local anesthesia.
  • Duration of procedure: It takes about 45 minutes for the procedure.
  • Incision: The incision is about 1-2 cms long either behind the angle of your lower jaw , behind the ear lobe, just beneath your chin, or between your gums and the bottom of your inner lower lip.

It can be done by the traditional method or other liposuction types may be used i.e. Ultrasound-assisted liposuction , Power-assisted liposuction or Laser-assisted liposuction.

Inpatient/Outpatient procedure:
It is usually an Outpatient procedure i.e. the patient can go home the same day.
Recovery:
  • There will likely be some mild discomfort that can be controlled with prescribed pain killers.
  • Some swelling and bruising is also normal.
  • You will likely be asked to wear a compression garment for several weeks.
  • Return to work : 5 days.
  • Strenuous activity: 2 -3 weeks
Duration of Results:
  • The results are immediate, though the best results are seen after some time.
  • Long Lasting if the activity level and weight is maintained.
Risks:
Facial liposuction generally carries fewer risks than liposuction performed on other body areas. These may include:
  • Infection
  • Bleeding
  • Scarring
  • Hematoma
  • Seroma
Procedures commonly done concomitantly with Double Chin Correction are:
