When there is excessive chin fat, it changes the face and neck shape. The face looks heavier, and consequently, older. Chin and neck fat can contribute to a turkey waddle, the hanging tissue under the chin and down the neck. Individuals as early as in their 20s and 30s can have a double chin, making them look much older than their years. Chin liposuction can effectively remove unwanted neck fat, slimming the chin, neck and jawline for a more youthful and attractive appearance.
Chin liposuction is an outpatient procedure that can significantly change your appearance. Dr. Chaudhry is a liposculpture specialist who offers advanced options in lipo procedures. For double chin removal, many patients can use our Awake lipo option. This chin liposculpture procedure is performed with local anesthesia versus general anesthesia. Patients can stay awake during their double chin removal, reducing the risks and adverse symptoms of surgery. Dr. Chaudhry has received specialized training to perform Awake lipo for superior results, but Be That Beautiful™ center also offers traditional liposuction for patients who prefer to be sedated during their procedure.
After chin liposuction, a compression garment needs to be worn to reduce swelling and improve healing. Most patients can return to work in about a week, and the results of the procedure improve in the weeks following liposuction. The jawline and chin become more defined, and the face looks more youthful as the swelling dissipates and the skin tightens during healing.
If you have excess chin or neck fat you want removed, chin liposculpture can offer incredible results. To finally say goodbye to your double chin, give Be That Beautiful™ Plastic Surgery a call. Contact our office in Los Angeles to schedule a chin lipo consultation with Dr. Chaudhry and discover your options for removing your double chin.
A good candidate for neck lipo typically has stubborn fat deposits around the neck or under the chin that do not respond to diet and exercise. Ideal candidates are generally in good health, have realistic expectations about the results, and possess sufficient skin elasticity to accommodate the fat removal process.
Neck lipo is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the treatment and patient preference. The procedure involves making small, discreet incisions through which a cannula is used to suction out excess fat. Your surgeon will explain the steps and any additional techniques that may be used to optimize the contour.
Recovery from neck lipo is typically swift. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and swelling, with a return to normal activities within a few days. However, complete resolution of swelling and bruising may take a couple of weeks. Your surgeon will provide detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure optimal healing.
As with any surgical procedure, neck lipo carries risks such as infection, bleeding, asymmetry, or contour irregularities. Although these risks are low when performed by an experienced surgeon, it’s important to discuss potential complications during your consultation and follow all post-operative care instructions closely.
Chin lipo is an effective solution for removing stubborn fat deposits under the chin and around the neck, creating a more defined, youthful contour. Contact us today for a consultation to see if you’re a good candidate for this minimally invasive procedure.
While neck lipo primarily targets fat removal, many patients notice an improvement in neck contour due to the reduced volume. However, the degree of skin tightening varies based on factors such as age, skin elasticity, and overall skin quality. In some cases, additional procedures may be recommended to address excess skin.
Yes, neck lipo is often performed in combination with other facial or neck procedures, such as a neck lift or chin augmentation, to enhance overall results. Your surgeon will assess your individual needs and discuss whether combining procedures would benefit your desired outcome.
The results of neck lipo are generally long-lasting, provided you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. Natural aging and gravity can affect the neck’s appearance over time, so touch-up procedures may be considered in the future if significant changes occur.
Post-operative care typically includes wearing a compression garment to reduce swelling and support the new contour. You may be advised to avoid strenuous activities for a short period and follow specific wound care instructions. Regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your healing progress and ensure the best possible outcome.
