Double chin surgery

What is double chin surgery?


Double chin surgery also known as double chin liposuction It is an intervention intended to eliminate accumulated fat between the area from the chin to the neck.

This treatment allows refine traits of the face giving the patient a younger appearance and even weight loss. Sometimes it can be combined with other techniques such as platysmaplasty or blepharoplasty.

What patients seek this treatment?


The ideal patient to undergo this intervention is one who, despite having an adequate weight, has excess fat accumulated under the chin that cannot be eliminated with diet or exercise.

This surgery is also indicated for people with thick collar, double chin or those that do not have a defined chin line. It is important that the patient's skin is elastic, firm and in good condition.

In addition, it is designed for young people (between approximately 20 and 50 years old) because liposuction eliminates excess fat, but it cannot correct other age-related aspects such as wrinkles, sagging or excess skin. For the latter, a cervicofacial stretch would be performed.

As in any operation, the person in question must be in good physical and psychological health, be willing to undergo liposuction with realistic expectations and not have any cervical problem or serious illness.

How is the surgery performed?


🔻 La liposucción de papada es un procedimiento quirúrgico sencillo y rápido en el que, en la mayoría de los casos, se emplea local anesthesia or sedation. It lasts approximately half an hour and is of a ambulatory. That is, the patient will not have to be hospitalized.

🔻 Una vez aplicada la anestesia se realizan unas minimal incisions in strategic areas such as, for example, behind the ears or under the chin, so that the marks are practically invisible. Afterwards, cannulas are inserted into the previously made holes with which the excess fat will be absorbed.

Preoperative 


↗️
Before setting a date for the intervention, the patient must meet with the surgeon who will examine the condition of the skin, the amount of fat that must be removed and whether there is sagging or excess skin in order to determine if what that person really needs is a double chin surgery or if there are other treatments that better suit their needs. .

Postoperative 


🔸 Como comentábamos anteriormente es una very simple operation and recovery should not be complicated or painful at all. During the first days the patient may feel a slight discomfort and tightness in the operated area and notice the neck strange and somewhat swollen, but it is a pain that is easily bearable with the analgesics that will be prescribed. Some bruising may also appear, which will also disappear after a few days.

🔸 En cuanto a los cuidados especiales, para una correcta recuperación será necesario colocar una compression band in the treated area for a few days. It is also recommended to sleep with your head slightly elevated, place ice to reduce inflammation and not play sports during the first weeks.

Results and benefits


✔️It is a surgery with Very good results which, in general, are definitive. However, as with other types of liposuction, you have to be patient. The elimination of fat is seen immediately, but you will have to wait at least three months for the inflammation to completely disappear and the skin to adapt to its new shape.

✔️Double chin liposuction is a technique very appreciated by patients, both men and women, as it helps them improve their appearance, look younger and have a more defined and balanced face. All of this increases their self-esteem and provides them with greater security and self-confidence.
