What is Chin Liposuction or Double Chin Removal?
Chin liposuction is also called chin lipo or double chin removal. It’s a popular cosmetic surgery designed to remove excess fat around the chin and neck. The surgery specifically aims to remediate the appearance of a double chin. The chin liposuction procedure is less complex than a full neck lift and other double chin surgery options.
Chin liposuction must be performed by a highly qualified plastic surgeon. When completed properly, it can significantly improve the contour of the neck and chin area.
Patients who experience loose skin in the neck after chin liposuction may consider a neck lift to tighten the skin in this area. Even if chin liposuction doesn’t solve all the problem areas around your neck, it’s often a great starting point to remove excess fat that hasn’t responded well to a healthy diet and exercise.
Am I a Candidate for Double Chin Liposuction?
You may be a good candidate for double chin liposuction if you’re currently bothered by a double chin or have excess fat beneath the chin that hasn’t responded to diet and lifestyle changes. The ideal candidate for chin liposuction is in good overall health and has maintained a stable weight in recent months. Additionally, good candidates will have minimal loose skin and good skin laxity in the neck area. This means you can have your double chin removed without the need for additional surgeries, such as a neck lift.During your consultation, a board-certified plastic surgeon evaluates your neck and discusses your medical history with you to ensure the possible results align with your goals. Together, you can determine a path forward that includes chin or neck liposuction and a neck lift if needed.
Chin Lipo Before and After
Chin lipo results are often dramatic and well-received, especially if you’ve been struggling with a double chin or excess fat under the chin and neck. Patients experiencing frustration with a more rounded profile and stubborn fat should review before-and-after photos of chin liposuction to see how slimmer their chin and neck can become.
Chin Liposuction Cost in Atlanta
In the greater Atlanta area, liposuction costs will be quoted in several different portions. You’ll need to cover physician fees, which can range from $750 to $3000. Other expenses associated with aesthetic plastic surgery include facility and anesthesia fees, which can add $2,000 to $10,000 to your total cost. If you require additional procedures, such as a neck lift, in conjunction with double chin lipo, the costs will be higher.
How Does Fat Removal Under the Chin Work?
This cosmetic surgery targets the localized fat cells by using small incisions and gentle suction. Double chin liposuction is a targeted surgical procedure that eliminates a double chin by removing unwanted fat from the neck area. The procedure begins with your plastic surgeon numbing the area and making small incisions to serve as access points for the liposuction cannula. The entire procedure is minimally invasive, typically requiring only local anesthesia. In some cases, general anesthesia may be needed.
In cases where loose skin is present after the outpatient procedure, a neck lift can be done to tighten the skin around the neck in those with poor skin laxity. A neck lift surgery may also be needed if you’ve experienced weight fluctuations or have sagging skin related to aging.
Submental Liposuction Recovery
Recovery immediately after neck liposuction or double chin surgery is generally quick and very manageable. Many patients go home the same day and have the surgery as an outpatient procedure. After surgery, you’ll likely need to wear recovery garments, such as a chin strap or compression garment, to help reduce swelling and support the treatment area.
By the end of the first week, swelling and bruising will start to subside. Mild discomfort may persist around the incision site, and feeling tightness in the upper neck is a common occurrence. Keeping your head elevated as much as possible will help speed the healing process. By the end of one to two weeks, you may already start to see visible improvement.
Chin Lipo FAQs
Chin Liposuction After 1 Week?
Most patients are starting to see a reduction in swelling and bruising. The one-week mark is also when you may begin to see early results of double chin lipo.
How Long Do Chin Lipo Results Last?
Chin liposuction results are generally long-lasting. This is especially true if you maintain a stable weight, as the fat cells removed will not come back.
How Painful is Chin Liposuction?
There is some pain and discomfort associated with any surgical procedure. However, for most patients, pain is typically mild and manageable with over-the-counter pain medication.
Will I Have a Chin Lipo Scar?
Scars associated with chin liposuction are often minimal. The incisions are small, and scars are usually hidden under the chin or behind the ears.
Do I Need a Neck Lift?
You only need a neck lift surgery if you have poor skin laxity or too much excess skin after the procedure. The neck lift will remove the excess skin and tighten the neck area after the liposuction procedure removes excess fat.
Is Chin Lipo the Same as Double Chin Surgery?
Chin liposuction is one type of double chin surgery. Other procedures may also tighten muscles or remove excess skin.
Who is Not a Good Candidate for Chin Augmentation?
If you have untreated medical conditions, unrealistic expectations, or poor skin quality, you may not be a good candidate for chin augmentation. Your plastic surgeon can advise you on the best steps you should take to see the results you're looking for.
