As you age, you may notice that you have an accumulation of fat between your chin and neck and/or along the jawline, it's called a double chin and this pocket of fat can take away from your facial profile. Double chin reduction by liposuction can offer good cosmetic results for young people who have good skin elasticity. The procedure is a more focused approach to fat removal than a full face-lift.
What to expect
Your cosmetic surgeon will make a small incision behind each ear and under the chin. Specialized equipment suctions the fat from the jawline and beneath the chin. The result, if the skin is resilient, is a more defined neck area.
You may be required to wear a garment that compresses the face for three to four weeks after surgery.
Risks
The risks associated with facial liposuction may include, but are not limited to:
• There is a chance that you could experience complications associated with anesthesia
• Bleeding
• Irregularities of the contour of the face or dimpling that appears unnatural
• Temporary or permanent numbness or weakness in the chin and mouth
• Swelling
• Bruising
