Chin Liposuction
What is chin liposuction?
Chin liposuction involves the removal of fat deposits from the chin to reshape it and achieve harmonious facial contours. If you have excess fat under your chin that makes you appear overweight or older than you are, you may be a candidate for chin liposuction.
How is chin liposuction performed?
Chin liposuction is performed under local anesthesia or intravenous sedation (analgosedation). Excess fat is removed from the chin, reshaping the face. For most patients, we combine this procedure with the advanced Facetite skin tightening technology. This immediately creates a slimmer and younger appearance while tightening the skin under the chin.
The procedure typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. Patients can return home immediately after the intervention.
The fat obtained during the procedure can also be used for facial contouring or reducing nasolabial folds through fat transfer in the same patient.
Recovery after chin liposuction
During the recovery period, your doctor will prescribe antibiotics and pain-relief therapy. An elastic bandage or a special facial strap should be worn for one week.
Full recovery is typically achieved within 14 days.
