Liposuction of the neck area is a surgical process designed to eliminate double chins and slim the neck area. A surgeon makes incisions discreetly placed within hairline or underneath chin areas in order to insert tubes that suction out excess fat deposits. Patients typically feel no discomfort during this procedure but pain medications may help manage any discomfort felt throughout.
During the Procedure
Liposuction of the neck and chin areas, also referred to as chin liposuction or submental liposuction, is an aesthetic surgery procedure which helps eliminate unwanted fat accumulations for a more contoured appearance. The procedure typically requires making minor incisions beneath the chin in order to insert a thin suction tube called a cannula that breaks down and vacuums away stubborn fat tissues, according to California Skin Institute.
After surgery, patients may experience some swelling and bruising at the treatment area. OTC pain medications and cold compresses can help alleviate symptoms that should subside within one week; patients can resume non-strenuous activities and work if cleared by their surgeon.
Before neck liposuction, adopting healthy lifestyle habits іs vital tо speed up the healing process and ensure optimal outcomes іn your neck lipo recovery. This includes eating a nutritious and calorie-regulated diet tо prevent weight gain and promote an optimal surgical result, and engaging іn gentle neck exercises designed tо maintain muscle tone while limiting fluid retention.
Post-Operative Care
Neck liposuction is an efficient procedure that doesn’t typically require general anesthesia. A cosmetic surgeon makes one or two small incisions beneath the chin or behind the ears to insert a cannula and extract excess fat for a more defined and refined contoured appearance.
As with any surgical procedure, patients must carefully follow their doctor’s post-surgery instructions for optimal healing. Swelling and bruising may occur at first; these should subside as the body heals itself over time. Resting and wearing compression garments as directed can help manage these symptoms more effectively.
Many patients find it helpful to have someone nearby who can drive them to and from appointments, take them to the bathroom, and help with daily tasks during this period – helping reduce stress while enabling patients to focus solely on healing process without having to worry about other obligations. With proper post-op care can come lasting beauty results!
Recovery
Neck liposuction is one of the most sought-after forms of cosmetic surgery, offering patients an opportunity to achieve more defined and youthful necks and chins. Patients should set realistic expectations about their results and understand the recovery process to get maximum benefit out of this treatment.
At our practice, our surgeon can remove excess fat using a thin tube called a cannula through small incisions under the chin to achieve an even and seamless result. The procedure may be performed either with local anesthesia or under sedation to ensure patient comfort levels.
As with any medical procedure, patients can expect some bruising and swelling following treatment; however, any discomfort should be minimal and managed with either prescription or over-the-counter pain medications. Wearing a compression garment (usually a chin strap) both day and night may help minimize swelling, expedite healing, maintain aesthetic results faster, as well as keep discomfort manageable. Regular visits with our doctor will determine when it is safe to resume strenuous physical activities.
Results
Liposuction for neck liposuction offers patients an effective alternative to diet and exercise when it comes to targeting excess fat in the chin and neck area. Patients can see amazing results within just a few weeks; although swelling or bruising may mask any final outcome for some time.
To perform this procedure, our surgeon makes small incisions below or behind each ear to insert a thin suction-powered cannula that removes fat systematically from the neck area. As a result, skin tightening will occur, providing more defined contours.
Recovery after treatment typically involves mild discomfort and bruising that can be managed with prescription pain medication and over-the-counter remedies. Most patients can resume non-strenuous work duties within one week; strenuous physical activities typically resume one month post-surgery; following appointments allow our surgeon to monitor healing progress, ensure skin is responding as intended, and monitor recovery process in general. If any concerns or questions arise during their recovery journey we encourage our patients to reach out!
