The accumulation of fat in the neck and under the jawline (double chin) can create a rounded facial appearance.
Sharp cheekbone and jawline contours frame and enhance the most important facial features.
Liposuction involves using a special cannula to gently loosen and remove fat.
While fat removal can improve almost any patient, certain patients may benefit more than others. Younger patients (<40 years old) tend to have skin that will retract with fat removal. Other excellent candidates are those with a low body fat percentage but still a stubborn double chin. This is often inherited but doesn’t have to be!
You can go home immediately with 3-4 stitches, which will be removed after 5-7 days.
There will be some swelling and possibly bruising for 3-5 days, and it takes about a month to see the final result.
Please wear a compression bandage around the face and neck for one week, and then you can wear it for an additional week only at night.
