Address a double chin with liposuction
Adult men and women, regardless of weight, may have to deal with excess fat underneath the chin and jaw area. This excess fat, known as submental fullness, is often bothersome to patients. It can reduce the definition of the chin and neck when viewing the patient’s profile, and in photographs, this excess fat can make patients appear heavier than they really are. To address this, many patients visit with a board-certified plastic surgeon to determine what can be done. For most, chin fat removal can be achieved with liposuction. Dr. Dennis Dass of Beverly Hills, California, can assist with this and fat removal elsewhere on the body.
Why choose liposuction?
Liposuction is the best way to manually remove unwanted fat from underneath the chin, improving the definition of the chin as well as the jawline. Both men and women will find that liposuction is fast, effective, and affordable when being used in such a small area of the face and neck. Liposuction has been used for many years to remove fat from the body and continues to be one of the most effective ways to achieve dramatic results.
What should I expect from the recovery process?
The double chin surgery with liposuction requires some downtime. Patients will need to wear a compression garment around the chin and neck for a week and use ice packs and medication to reduce swelling and improve comfort. It is common for patients to experience short-term side effects after their procedure, such as pain, tenderness, swelling, and bruising around the liposuctioned area, but this will resolve on its own. Patients will likely need to take time off of work, school, and other social activities for a week or two following their procedure.
