These are typically minimally invasive procedures that involve the removal of excess fat and skin from the chin and neck area. The most common procedure is liposuction, which uses a suction device to remove excess fat from the chin and neck area. Other surgical treatments include neck lifts, which involve removing excess skin and fat from the chin and neck area, and chin implants, which involve placing a customized implant to improve the shape of the chin. All of these procedures require a certain amount of downtime and recovery.
Chin reduction with Liposuction
Liposuction is a surgical procedure used to reduce fat stores in specific areas of the body, such as the chin and neck. The procedure involves making small incisions in the skin and inserting a thin tube called a cannula, which is connected to a vacuum device to suction out excess fat.
The first step of the liposuction process is to administer a local anesthetic to the area being treated. The anesthetic will help minimize any discomfort during the procedure. The surgeon will then make small incisions in the skin, usually around the chin and neck area. These incisions will be used to insert the cannula.
Once the cannula is in place, the surgeon will use the vacuum device to suction out the excess fat. The fat will be collected in a container and then discarded. The surgeon will then use a special tool to smooth out the area and create an even contour.
After the procedure is complete, the incisions will be closed with sutures and a bandage will be applied. The area will be sore and swollen for a few days, but the swelling should subside after a few weeks.
The results of liposuction are usually visible immediately and can be long-lasting. However, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a healthy diet and regular exercise, to ensure that the results are maintained.
The most popular are injectables, such as Kybella and Botox. Kybella is injected into the chin area to reduce the appearance of a double chin. It works by breaking down fat cells in the area, which can help to sculpt the chin and neck area.
BOTOX® can be used to reduce the size of bulky masseter muscles on the sides of the jaw, creating a slimmer jawline and more visible V-line, which can make your face look more youthful and slender. It also helps to smooth chin dimpling and lift drooping mouth corners, reducing the appearance of marionette lines, all of which are common signs of premature aging caused by overworked muscles.
