What is Double Chin Liposuction?

Double Chin Liposuction

Double chin liposuction is a minimally invasive aesthetic surgery procedure performed to reduce fat accumulation under the chin. Unwanted fat under the chin, in the lower parts of the face and in the neck area can obscure the chin prominence and make the face-chin-neck transition unclear. Thinning the fat tissue in this area increases the prominence of the jawline and provides a more attractive and youthful appearance. Double chin liposuction offers an effective solution, especially for the removal of stubborn neck fat that cannot be removed with diet and exercise. The procedure is based on the principle of vacuum extraction of fat tissue with the help of special cannulas through small incisions. This procedure, which can be performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia, provides the patient with a younger and more dynamic appearance.

Double Chin Liposuction Surgery

Double chin liposuction surgery is a modern surgical procedure that allows the removal of unwanted fat tissues in the under-chin area with special techniques. During this procedure, the surgeon uses specially designed thin cannulas under local or general anesthesia, entering through small incisions. With the help of vacuum, excess fat tissues are pulled out in a controlled manner, making the neck area look firmer and more defined. In terms of its technique, it shows some differences from liposuction surgeries performed on other parts of the body. The procedure must be performed with a lower vacuum and thinner cannulas. It should be performed by surgeons who have a good command of the anatomy of the face and neck region and are experienced in the surgeries of this region.

It is often combined as a part of the procedure in facelift and neck lift surgeries.

Its main features are as follows:

It is a minimally invasive procedure usually lasting 1-2 hours
Helps to define the under-chin contour
Makes the face profile look more balanced
Lasting results can be achieved
The healing process is shorter than other surgical procedures
