Are You A Candidate?
You can be an ideal candidate for double chin liposuction if;
- You have excess fat beneath the chin.
- You are healthy both physically and mentally.
- You have realistic expectations from the procedure.
Pre-Op Preparation
After an initial consultation with the surgeon, you will be given a few instructions to follow which are important to avoid any risks during and after the liposuction procedure. Here are some common instructions for the patients;
- Avoid nicotine as it delays the healing procedure.
- Reduce caffeine intake.
- Take the medications given by your surgeon.
Procedure
The procedure of double chin liposuction will not take longer than 1 to 2 hours for completion.
- The treatment area is numbed using local anesthesia.
- Afterward, your surgeon will make a small incision beneath the chin.
- A small cannula with a laser fiber is inserted through the incision and is moved back and forth.
- The fat tissues are melted with the heat energy delivered by the lasers and these melted cells are drained out through the lymphatic system of the body.
- Incisions will be closed using sutures.
Recovery
Double chin liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that does not require a lengthy recovery period.
- You may feel pain and discomfort for 2 or 3 days.
- The treatment area might get red or swollen after the procedure.
- You need to rest for 5 to 6 days before going back to work.
- The stitches will be removed after 5 or more days.
Post-Op Care
As pre-treatment instructions are important to follow, aftercare is also important to make the recovery process smooth and comfortable. Your surgeon is likely to hand over a list of instructions after the procedure. These instructions may include;
- A compression garment will be given to wear around the chin and neck which helps in minimizing swelling.
- Take rest for at least a week.
- You will be asked to avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activities for more than 2 weeks.

Double Chin Liposuction FAQs
Is double chin liposuction safe?
Yes, the procedure is 100% safe as it is approved by the FDA.
Are the results permanent?
It wouldn’t be wrong to say that the results are permanent. But not in all cases. If you gain weight, the fat cells will again accumulate in your chin, developing a double chin again. So, you need to follow the diet plan instructed by your doctor.
Are there any scars?
You will not get any scar as a result of double chin liposuction. In case, there is any scarring, it will be temporary.
Is the procedure painful?
After getting the procedure, there is a possibility of experiencing mild pain or discomfort. In such situations, you need to take the prescribed medicines.
What is the recovery time?
You may get proper recovery within 10 days after the procedure. However, you need to follow the instructions of your surgeon to get the best results.
When will the results appear?
After almost 10 days, when you get rid of swelling, you will be able to observe a change in the structure of your face. This change will be positive and you will feel pleasant about yourself.
After how long I can go back to work?
Usually, we recommend our patients to get an off from their work for almost 10 days. However, if you get a combination of the procedures then you may need more days for rest. In such a case, the total number of days required for recovery depend on the procedure that you will get.
