Chin Liposuction

Conveniently located to serve the areas of Beverly Hills, CA

When you think of liposuction, you may think of fat removal from the tummy, love handles, or thighs. But today, an increasing number of people are seeking what’s called Chin liposuction.

In particular, they’re looking to reduce excess fat along the neckline and beneath the chin — effectively getting rid of their double chin.

What is Chin Liposuction?

Chin liposuction — also known as submental liposuction or neck liposuction — is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess fat from beneath the chin and improves the appearance of the jawline and neck.

The liposuction process requires small incisions to be made around the chin and neck area. Through these incisions, a thin metal tube is inserted to suction out the fat. Dr. Lahar uses advanced technologies and special techniques to create natural contours along the neck and jawline.

The Chin Lipo Los Angeles procedure is highly effective and produces no noticeable scarring for nearly all patients.

The best thing about this procedure is the ability to create a customized outcome. During your consultation you can sit down with Dr. Lahar and discuss the changes you’d like to achieve, and he can explain the options to move you closer to your ideal nose profile.

Am I a good candidate for Chin Liposuction?

The best candidates for chin and neck liposuction are unhappy with the appearance of their jaws and necklines due to excess fat and sagging skin. Patients must be in good physical health and should ideally be non-smokers.

Double Chin Liposuction benefits

Liposuction on the chin provides many benefits, including:

  • The aesthetic improvement of an especially prominent facial feature
  • The achievement of a more refined and attractive jawline
  • The ability to reduce fat in a location on the body where improvement cannot be achieved in any other way — not through diet and exercise, for example
  • A short and simple procedure — chin lipo can often be performed under local anesthesia
  • Minimal, if any, scarring

The Chin Liposuction procedure?

After the anesthetic has been administered, several tiny incisions will be made around the target treatment area. Through these incisions, Dr. Lahar will insert a cannula, which is a thin metal tube used to suction out excess fat from the chin and neck.

The incisions will then be closed, and a chin strap garment will be applied. This will need to be worn consistently for a set period of time to ensure optimal results.

Chin lipo Los Angeles recovery

You’ll need to take around one week off from work to recover from submental liposuction. During this time, expect bruising, swelling, and some slight discomfort.

You’ll need to wear a chin strap compression garment and take it easy (no physical exertion or lifting heavy objects) for at least a few weeks. Slowly, the swelling will start to disappear, and your incisions will heal so that your results will become increasingly visible.

Potential risks and complications of Chin and Neck Liposuction

Every surgery comes with a potential for complications. Although chin lipo is traditionally a very safe procedure, it’s important to be aware of the rare, but potential risks, including:

  • Excessive bleeding
  • Excessive swelling and bruising
  • Excessive pain or itching
  • Sensory changes to the skin
  • Infection
  • Bad reactions to anesthesia

FAQ

What are the side effects of chin liposuction?

After your Beverly Hills and Los Angeles chin liposuction, expect some swelling, bruising, and slight soreness around the treatment area. These symptoms will dissipate with time.

How long do I need to wait after chin liposculpture until I see the results of treatment?

Most patients are able to see notable changes in the appearance of their chins and necklines after around one to three weeks. Some improvement will be noticeable right away, but because there will be significant swelling (which is normal), the results may be hidden for a short time until the swelling dissipates.

Does chin liposuction tighten loose skin?

Chin lipo is excellent for removing excess fat, but it does not directly tighten significantly loose skin. If you have pronounced laxity or banding in the neck area, your surgeon may recommend adding a skin-tightening or neck-lift procedure.
