When there is too much fat under the chin and in the neck, it often creates a double chin. A full neck can make you look fatter and older than your actual age. We can use neck liposculpture, via a small incision under the chin, to remove the excess fat.
Anyone who is concerned about excess skin and fat in the chin area may prove to be an ideal candidate for double chin surgery. During a consultation, our doctors will examine a patient’s facial features and medical history and discuss your expectations and concerns. If double chin surgery is the best facial rejuvenation option, our doctors will set up a treatment plan and discuss it with the patient.
Chin liposculpture is an outpatient procedure, and it typically does not require an overnight hospital stay.
To minimize pain during chin liposculpture, our doctors will numb the treatment area prior to the procedure.
During a chin liposculpture procedure, the surgeon makes small incisions into the treatment area. He next inserts a cannula into the incisions, and the cannula suctions out fat and fluid.
Pain after chin liposculpture surgery generally subsides within a few days of surgery, and the overall recovery process lasts about one week. Our surgeons will monitor their patient’s progress following a chin liposculpture procedure. We want to ensure our patients can fully recover and our aim is to minimize postoperative pain. Additionally, if a patient has any concerns or questions after a chin liposculpture surgery, our surgeons are always available to address them.
Chin liposculpture is designed to deliver long-term results, but how long these results last varies based on the individual. In many instances, the results of a chin liposculpture procedure may last seven to 10 years. However, the aging process affects each person differently, and as a person gets older, the results of chin liposculpture may gradually disappear. Make sure you discuss your concerns and expectations with your doctor.
During your consultation, you will meet the surgeon who will perform your surgery. The consultation will start with you expressing your desired result.
Your surgeon will then perform a medical examination to assess whether you are a suitable candidate.
During your consultation you can expect:
Depending on the type of treatment, your surgery will be performed under intravenous sleep sedation, local or general anaesthesia. More information about all types of anesthesia can be found on this page.
Your anaesthetist will insert a needle into your arm through which the medication will be injected. It takes about 10 seconds to take effect.
After surgery, incisions are closed with dissoluble sutures and necessary plasters and bandages are applied. When general anaesthesia or intravenous sleep sedation is applied, the anaesthetist will start the wake up process and you will be transferred to the recovery area where you will be closely monitored.
After surgery, you will be taken to the recovery area where you will be closely monitored by our medical staff. If the surgery took place under general anaesthesia or intravenous sleep sedation, your bodily functions will routinely be monitored whilst you start to awake.
Once you are fully conscious, you will be taken to your room where you can continue resting until you feel fit to go home.
Some surgeries require patients to stay overnight.
For optimal healing and aesthetic outcome, it is important to strictly follow your surgeon’s post-operative guidelines. These guidelines may vary from patient to patient.
All stitches are dissoluble so you don't need to visit your family doctor or a nurse to remove them. Depending on the type of surgery you might be expected to return for a follow-up consultation. You will be informed accordingly by our team members.
We are there to support you day and night. Our doctors and staff will advise and assist you until you are fully recovered.
