Whether due to genetics, posture, or weight fluctuations, the appearance of a double chin causes those who have it to look chubbier than they are. Fortunately, patients may experience a face contour more defined after undergoing double chin liposuction on this targeted area.

Also known as jowl liposuction, this plastic surgery promises to improve the facial look by making it slimmer and better defined. Therefore, we would like to better explain this surgical procedure, what its main benefits are and what patients can expect during the postoperative period. 

What is double chin liposuction?

It is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that utilizes the laser lipolysis technique to contour the face and to get rid of fatty tissue in the lower jawline. 

Just like laser lipolysis, double chin surgery detaches the adipose tissue from muscle. Then, fat is suctioned out with fine needles inserted through 1 or 2 incisions, smaller than 1 cm, and leaving imperceptible marks after finishing this surgery’s recovery process.

Benefits of double chin liposuction

In addition to getting rid of excess fat behind the chin, this surgery provides the following benefits for patients:

• Be ambulatory and minimally invasive 
• Deliver permanent and effective results
• Contour and slim the face
• Give a younger and smoother neck
• Correct wrinkles and neck bulk
• Allow a more defined chin

What is double chin liposuction recovery like?

Usually, you’ll be able to return home on the same day of surgery and resume your daily activities the next day if you wish to do so. During recovery, you should follow all medical recommendations given by your plastic surgeon and wear a postoperative compression garment to assist with jaw compression, swelling, and heal the treated area.

In addition, it is important for the postoperative period to avoid sunlight exposure during the first days, or until your plastic surgeon instructs you to do so, this is to avoid upsetting the healing process.
