Double Chin Liposuction

You can be an ideal candidate of a double chin liposuction if;

• If you have excess fat beneath the chin.
• You don’t smoke.
• You are healthy both physically and mentally.
• You have realistic expectations from the procedure.

After an initial consultation with the surgeon, you will be given few instructions to follow which are important to avoid any sort of risks during and after the liposuction procedure. Here are some common instructions given to the patients.

• Stop smoking at least 3 weeks before the procedure as nicotine delays the healing procedure.
• Stop drinking alcohol and reduce caffeine intake.
• Follow the medications given by your surgeon.

• The procedure of liposuction on the double chin will not take longer than 1 to 2 hours.
• The treatment area will be numbed using a local anaesthetic.
• Afterward, your surgeon will make a small incision beneath the chin.
• A small cannula with a laser fiber is inserted into the marked area which is then 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 lymphatic system of the body.
• Incisions will be closed using sutures.

It is a minimally invasive procedure that does not requires a lengthy recovery period.

• You may feel pain and discomfort for 2 or 3 days.
• Treatment area might be red and swollen after the procedure.
• You will need to take rest for 5 to 6 before going back to work.
• The stitch will be removed after 5 or more days.

As pre-treatment instructions are important to follow, after care is also important to make the recovery process smooth and comfortable. Your surgeon is likely to hand over a list of instructions at the time of leaving the clinic. 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.
• Avoid smoking for 2 weeks to heal quickly.
• You will asked to avoid any heavy lifting or strenuous tasks for more than 2 weeks.

The results of a double chin remvoal will be visible after few days when the swelling is gone. The results are permanent but you will have to maintain a healthy diet regimen and exercise plan.
