If you are concerned about excessive fat or fullness along the chin, neck, or jawline, you may be a candidate for chin and neck liposuction. Liposuction of the chin and neck is a minimally-invasive surgical procedure designed to contour the neckline and remove excess fat from the area below the chin. Neck lift surgery aims at improving the aesthetic appearance of neck by:
Removal of excess fat from the chin and neck
Refinement of the jawline
Improvement of neck line and silhouette
During your consultation, Dr. Syed Arif Hussain at Aesthetic Shapes, Karachi, Pakistan, will examine your chin and neck and determine the extent of platysmal dehiscence (separation) and the degree of skin laxity. The vertical neck lines and skin looseness may or may not be amenable to liposuction. The alternative to chin and neck liposuction is a traditional neck lift or a mini-neck lift.
Tumescent Liposuction of the chin is ideal for men and women with a “double chin” or loose, sagging skin and excess fat in the chin, neck, or cheeks
Anyone who is over the age of 60 may need to take extra precautions and may wish to consider further skin-tightening procedures for loose or lax skin
A complimentary consultation with the doctor can address any questions you may have
Can Chin Liposculpture Be Combined With Other Procedures?
Yes, of course. Tumescent Liposuction of the chin can be performed at the same time as any other procedure so that you can customize and perfect your problem areas.
Facial Contouring With Refinement Of The Jowls:
Neck liposuction is used to contour the central neck, lateral neck, chin, and jawline
Some patients present with prominent facial jowls that overshadow the jawline and mandible
During a facelift, neck lift, or neck liposuction procedure, it is possible to address the jowls through micro-liposuction
The liposuction technique allows for meticulous refinement and contouring of the jowls in relation to the medial jawline
The correction of jaw line complements facial contouring procedures and provides patients with an effective strategy to improve facial proportions
After jowl liposuction, a standard facelift dressing is placed for twenty four hours
The dressing places uniform compression along the face and neck area and minimizes the risk of hematoma and complications from surgery
Chin and Neck Liposuction is an outstanding procedure to add youth to the face
Chin Liposuction Surgery In Karachi, Pakistan
Chin liposuction is a minor surgical procedure where small incisions of 2 to 4 cm long are made in the chin and under the ears
Some skillful surgeons also do an intra-oral incision (in the mouth)
The procedure is done with the help of local anesthesia, which is usually injected in the neck
Then through tumescence technique the skin and the underlying tissue is lifted to accommodate the thin liposuction cannula (suction device) that sucks the excess fat
High frequency oscillations from the cannula dissolve the fat cells, which is then sucked through a vacuum device
Additional small incisions are made if the extra fat needs to be removed from the cheeks
The chin liposuction procedure normally takes about 45 minutes to an hour to perform
The procedure is considered safe and effective
Chin liposuction, also referred as facial liposuction is the best way to get rid of double chin, jowls, or chubbiness under the chin
Laser Surgery For Chin Liposuction
Chin liposuction is also done through laser surgery, which is relatively a newer technique
The procedure is similar where a probe is used along with the laser in the place of liposuction cannula
However, laser surgery is practiced widely in United States and is not often suggested by many surgeons since it is not effective in the removal of larger fat collections
Laser liposuction surgery does not involve any suction process, instead of high frequency vibration, light energy is used to vaporize the fat cells
Laser lights help to tighten the surrounding skin thus preventing baggy, excess skin, which might be noticed in fewer cases of traditional liposuction
Though safe, laser surgery is not prescribed for patients with diabetes, liver or kidney problems or blood clotting problems.
Generally performed on an outpatient basis, laser surgery lasts for 30 to 60 minutes
Post-op Care After Chin Liposuction Surgery
