How Do We Sculpt Jawlines?

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

Traditional liposuction involves making tiny incisions, usually less than a quarter inch in size, in a targeted area under the chin and behind the ears.

Then, thin tubes called cannulas that are attached to a vacuum are inserted through the incisions. Using a back-and-forth motion, the surgeon will loosen and break up the fat deposits under the skin.

The vacuum cannulas help to suction out the targeted fat cells. Dr. Smith often elects to use VASER ultrasound energy in his chin liposuction procedures. This allows for more precise sculpting. FaceTite 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.

Benefits of Getting Your Chin Sculpted

One of the most noticeable benefits of chin liposuction is that it offers a permanent solution for eliminating stubborn fatty deposits that cause a double chin or blunted jawline.

While diet and exercise are always recommended, sometimes a layer of fat just won’t budge no matter what someone tries. Chin liposuction ensures those pesky pockets are gone for good. It also helps to markedly improve chin and neck definition by sculpting a more contoured jawline.

Risks Worth Knowing About

It’s always a good idea to get the lowdown on potential issues from your surgeon beforehand. Problems after chin liposuction in our practice are very unusual given our extensive expertise with this procedure.

What to Expect After Your Appointment

In the first few days following chin liposuction surgery, you can anticipate some mild discomfort, tenderness, swelling, and bruising around the incision sites.

These symptoms are quite normal as part of the initial healing response after facial plastic surgery. Your surgeon will provide guidelines on proper post-operative care, such as applying ice packs wrapped in a thin towel to the treatment areas. Icing helps reduce swelling by constricting blood vessels.

Over-the-counter oral pain relievers are usually sufficient to manage any minor soreness. Most patients feel up to returning to sedentary work activities nearly immediately as they avoid strenuous tasks that could delay healing. We advise our patients that they can return to a light workout in 4-5 days and a full workout after approximately 14 days.

It generally takes a month after surgery to see early results. Only once all residual swelling has subsided will you see your final surgical results in full effect. This can take approximately three months. That’s why it’s important to be patient during the recovery phase.

Dr. Smith will also provide compression garments to minimize swelling and sculpt the chin and neck contours. Wearing these garments as directed is crucial for seeing optimal liposuction results. With proper post-operative care that includes following all aftercare advice, you’ll be back to your healthy, best-looking self in no time.
