The process of removing pockets of fat from under and around the chin through suction is known as facial liposuction. This area of fat is often known as a double chin or jowls and can be a source of self-consciousness. Removing this fat can help to give the face a more chiseled and significantly slimmer look. Many people also choose to use this type of cosmetic surgery to help fix a small chin or a receding chin line. There are two major ways that this procedure is carried it.
Facial liposuction can be performed by sucking the fat out of the chin area through an incision in the mouth. This procedure is known as an intra oral procedure. With this procedure the fat is sucked out through an incision between the gums and the bottom lip. During an external incision the fat is removed through the outer area. A vacuum is used to suck the fat out of the area by way of the doctor location and loosening the fat with his fingers. Both of these procedures can greatly reduce the appearance of fat around the chin line. The procedure typically takes close to 45 minutes or an hour and is non invasive. After the procedure, it is important to rest and keep the area clean and well taken care of. It is important to elevate the head and neck for a week to two weeks after the surgery. There will be swelling and bruising around the area that will go down during this time.
Facial Liposuction patients must be healthy when having this procedure and can have no signs of diseases or infections. As with all cosmetic surgeries, it’s important to discuss goals and expectations with ones doctor extensively. Knowing what can realistically come from this procedure is extremely important so that you can make an informed decision.
