Chin Liposuction

Are you bothered by the appearance of a “double chin”? Excess fat beneath the chin, known medically as submental fullness, is a frustrating issue. It doesn’t always respond to exercise and diet. 

Chin liposuction at Liposuction and Cosmetic Surgery Institute offers a definitive, minimally invasive solution to permanently remove this unwanted fat. The result is a sharper, more defined jawline and a rejuvenated neck contour.

Looking for the best chin liposuction Chicago and Naperville have to offer? Our board-certified surgeons are here to help you achieve your aesthetic goals. Schedule a confidential chin liposuction consultation today, or keep reading to learn about the procedure in more detail.

What is Chin Liposuction?

Liposuction for a double chin is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to precisely target and remove localized fat deposits from beneath the chin and along the jawline. Using a small, thin tube called a cannula, a surgeon carefully suctions out the excess fat through tiny, discreet incisions. The result is a smoother transition from the jaw to the neck, which produces a youthful, balanced appearance.

Are You a Good Candidate for Under Chin Liposuction?

This procedure is highly effective, but the best outcomes are achieved with the right candidates. You may be an ideal candidate for under chin liposuction if you:

• Have Localized Fat: 

The primary cause of your double chin is excess fat, rather than significant skin sagging or muscle laxity.

• Possess Good Skin Elasticity: 

Good skin tone allows the skin to retract smoothly over the new, slimmer contour after the fat is removed.

• Are in Good Overall Health: 

You should be a non-smoker and in good general health to ensure a safe procedure and smooth recovery.

• Have Realistic Expectations: 

You understand what the procedure can achieve and are looking for significant improvement, not perfection.

For patients with considerable skin laxity or neck banding, a Face Lift may be better than chin liposuction. The best procedure for you will be determined during your initial consultation.

The Chin Liposuction Procedure: What to Expect

Understanding the chin liposuction process can help you feel confident and prepared. Here’s a step-by-step look at how this simple yet transformative procedure is performed at our institute.

Consultation 

Your journey begins with a private consultation with one of our board-certified cosmetic surgeons. During this consultation, we will discuss your goals and evaluate your facial anatomy. This information is used to create a personalized treatment plan. This is the perfect time to ask any questions you have.

Procedure 

Performed comfortably under local anesthesia, the entire procedure typically takes less than an hour. Here’s a simple overview of the procedure:

1. Your surgeon will make a few tiny, well-hidden incisions (usually one under the chin).
2. A sterile tumescent solution is administered to numb the area and minimize bleeding.
3. The cannula is inserted to gently break up and suction out the unwanted fat cells.
4. The incisions are then closed, with no need for prominent stitches.

Recovery and Results 

Recovery is typically quick. You’ll be provided with a compression garment to wear for a few days to minimize swelling and help your skin adapt to its new contour. Most patients experience mild bruising and swelling, which subsides within a week.

You will see some results immediately. However, the final, beautifully sculpted results of your double chin liposuction will become fully visible within one to three months as all residual swelling disappears.

Combining Procedures for a Complete Facial Rejuvenation

While chin liposuction creates a stunning improvement on its own, some patients choose to enhance their results by combining it with other procedures. A comprehensive approach ensures all elements of your lower face and neck are in harmony.

Popular complementary treatments include:

• Chin Implants: 

Want to improve a weak or recessed chin in addition to removing fat? A chin implant can create a stronger, more balanced facial profile. Learn more.
