When someone says the word liposuction, most people think instinctively of fixing their belly bulges or thunder thighs. While it's true that the belly, flanks, thighs, hips and butt are some of the most popular target areas for liposuction (also known as lipoplasty or suction lipectomy), they are by no means the only ones. Not everyone knows that lipoplasty can be performed on a wide variety of body areas--almost anywhere there is excess fat, lipoplasty can help to slim the area.
One area that people might not immediately think of, but where liposuction can be very helpful is the chin area. Many people wish that they had a younger appearance about the face. Although much of what contributes to an aged facial appearance has to do with factors such as skin elasticity and wrinkle lines, much of it also has to do with fat deposits. As people age, they frequently end up storing more and more fat around their faces. These fat deposits can be very hard to get rid of through exercise or diet. Sometimes this happens under the chin, creating a double chin effect. This article will explain what liposuction of the chin is and how it works.
A chin liposuction can remove the fat deposits under the chin to eliminate double chins and create a new, more aesthetically pleasing jawline. During the procedure, a surgeon numbs the area with general anesthetic. Then he or she makes a small incision just under the chin. The surgeon inserts a small hollow tube called a cannula, which sucks out the unwanted fat. The exact specifics of your surgery will depend on which liposuction technique you go with. The tumescent technique is the most commonly used today; however, a number of the newer methods have proven very effective and useful. For example, laser lipectomy has shown itself to be an excellent choice for small, delicate areas such as the face. This technique goes by a number of different names, with SmartLipo, ProLipo, CoolLipo, LipoLite, and LipoTherme being some of the most common, but the principles underlying all of them are the same.
After the surgery, patients are generally asked to wear a light elastic wrap over the surgery site in order to help with the healing. Patients generally go back to their surgeon for follow up appointments so that the surgeon can monitor their progress. Most patients recover relatively quickly and are able to return to work within a few days and to normal activities shortly thereafter.
Just as liposuction can help create more streamlined, aesthetically pleasing chins, it can also help with other areas of the face that have excess fat. People who have excess cheek fat or who have pronounced jowls can also benefit from lipoplasty.
Of course, one has to bear in mind that liposuction is a real surgery, and that it has some very real risks too. Although surgeons do their best, there are always chances for complications. Some of these complications are relatively minor, such as scarring or the creation of other blemishes. At the most serious, there is the remote but real possibility for serious injury or death. Before you decide to undergo any surgery, be sure you've done your research and have a realistic understanding of the risks and benefits.
If you're considering getting a chin liposuction, you may want to think about meeting with a surgeon in your area. Many surgeons offer free consultations to potential clients. Your surgeon can help answer your questions and help you to know a little better what you can expect.
