Stubborn fat in the submental area, more often referred to as a “double chin,” is one of the most common cosmetic complaints among both men and women. Why are so many people concerned about a double chin? One of the main reasons is that double chin fat can be particularly challenging to get rid of on your own. It often doesn’t respond to diet and exercise alone.
Chin liposuction is one of the most effective double chin treatments available and comes with a number of key benefits, which we will detail below. Dr. Davis has performed facial liposuction for many women and men to reduce facial fullness and help them achieve the more sculpted facial shape they want. Take a look at this guide to help you decide if chin lipo could be right for you, and then schedule a consultation at our office to discuss the procedure in more detail.
Chin Liposuction Can Tackle a Challenging Area
Submental fat can be particularly challenging to get rid of because it often comes with a genetic component, making it unresponsive to diet and exercise in many cases. This also makes treating a double chin a challenge.
Chin liposuction works by removing the fat cells that store unwanted submental fat, thus removing the appearance of a double chin and creating a smoother, more well-defined jawline. Dr. Davis has experience in removing just the right amount of excess fat to achieve a more defined jaw without looking unnatural.
Chin Lipo Recovery Is Fairly Quick
Unlike other surgical procedures, chin liposuction comes with a relatively quick recovery period, with most people returning to work within just a few days after their procedure. For people who also have loose or excess skin in the chin area, a neck lift may be needed for comprehensive cosmetic improvement. This involves a few small incisions and reconfiguring of the skin and tissue below the jaw. If a neck lift is performed along with chin liposuction, you will need to plan for a longer recovery.
Chin Lipo Offers Lasting Results
Because chin lipo works by removing unwanted fat cells, results are long-lasting. Once removed, fat cells do not regrow. It is, however, important to maintain healthy eating and exercise habits to prevent the fat cells that remain in the area from storing additional fat and masking your more sculpted results.
