What Happens During A Chin Liposuction Procedure?

If you’re considering chin liposuction, booking a consultation with Dr. Darren Smith is the first step. He’ll assess your current chin and jawline and ask about your aesthetic goals. You’ll then be able to schedule your appointment at our VIP clinic in Manhattan.

The Procedure

There are a few different techniques that surgeons commonly use to remove fat and achieve a sculpted jawline during chin liposuction.

Traditional liposuction involves making tiny incisions, just millimeters in length, in hidden areas under the chin and behind the ears. There is virtually no visible scarring after the fat cells are removed with this procedure.

Thin tubes called cannulas attached to a vacuum are inserted through the incisions. The surgeon will loosen and break up the fat deposits under the skin using a back-and-forth motion.

The vacuum cannulas help suction out the excess fat depo. Dr. Smith often elects to use VASER ultrasound energy in his chin liposuction procedures, which allows for more precise sculpting. FaceTite radiofrequency skin tightening may be added to tighten skin and provide a maximally contoured jawline.

No matter the specific technique, the goal is always to precisely contour the chin and neck area through careful liposuction of subcutaneous fat layers for an improved facial profile. The patient below, a woman in her 50s, is shown before and after neck liposuction, VASER ultrasound and FaceTite radiofrequency to tighten her skin. She was an excellent candidate for a neck lift, but preferred a minimally invasive procedure.

Optimize Facial Harmony with Neck Liposuction

Contouring with just the right amount of liposuction will allow features to flow together harmoniously and produce a natural result. This enhances facial aesthetics through a balanced face that radiates whole-body wellness from the inside out.

With strategic fat removal (and skin tightening when needed), you can now have the gorgeous smile and defining jawline confidence you always wished for. The patient below is shown before and after liposuction of the chin.

Recovery

Immediate recovery from chin liposuction involves a period of adjustment. Expect mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising in the treatment area. Return to work in 48 hours is a reasonable expectation. Most patients can resume a light workout at 1 week and a full workout at 2 weeks.

Dr. Smith will provide detailed recovery instructions based on your case. In general, we recommend wearing a compression garment for 48 hours (and slightly longer in neck and chin liposuction cases that involve skin tightening). Sleeping with your head elevated in the compression garment for a brief period as prescribed by Dr. Smith will help minimize swelling. Avoiding vigorous activity for two weeks will limit bruising.

While initial improvements are visible within a month, it takes approximately three months for the full effects of the procedure to manifest. Patience is key during this period, as the body naturally recontours the treated area.

Regular follow-up appointments with Dr. Smith ensure optimal healing and allow us to address any concerns.

If you have a double chin, or excess fat in the submental region, but you have good skin tone, chin lipo, or will likely deliver a great result and be all you need for “double chin removal.” In some instances, chin and neck liposuction, which removes fat cells but does not address loose skin in the neck area, may not yield the desired outcome. In cases of a double chin where there is moderate skin laxity, energy-based devices like VASER and FaceTite may be indicated to tighten the skin to complement the chin lipo that removes excess fat. In cases of severe skin excess, other facial plastic surgery procedures, like a neck lift, may be indicated. Dr. Smith will meet with you during your consultation to ensure that chin liposuction in NYC is the right choice fo your individual case.

Who’s a good candidate for chin liposuction?

Ideal candidates for chin liposuction are people with:

• Excess fat: Liposuction is effective for people with localized fat deposits above the platysma muscle. For those with fat beneath the platysma, a more invasive form of plastic surgery may be indicated.
• Skin elasticity: While this procedure addresses excess fat, it does not address significant skin laxity without adjunct procedures.
• Good general health: Any underlying medical problems should be addressed prior to any elective plastic surgery to ensure a safe, smooth experience.

How long do the results of chin liposuction last?

Chin liposuction removes excess fat in a permanent manner, as the fat cells can’t regenerate. You will, of course continue to age, and may develop skin laxity over subsequent years and decades. An addional surgical procedure may be desireable to enhance your facial features at that point..
