Keep in mind that each patient is unique and your results may vary.
What Is Submental Liposuction?
Submental liposuction reduces fat from the area below the chin (called the submental area). Excess fat in this area contributes to the appearance of a double chin and obscures the contour between the neck and the chin. This procedure differs from a traditional neck lift, which also targets loose muscle, loose skin, and malpositioned glandular tissue. Submental liposuction focuses on removing fatty deposits for a slimmer and more defined neck and jawline.
How Is Submental Lipo Performed?
Submental fat removal is a straightforward procedure, similar to other liposuction procedures, but the treatment area is smaller. Dr. Ladner will begin by strategically placing small incisions to minimize visible scarring. He then inserts a thin tube called a cannula to suction away the excess fat, maneuvering it beneath the skin to target specific areas and sculpt the desired contour. The procedure typically takes less than an hour, depending on how much fat is removed.
What Is the Submental Liposuction Recovery Like?
After submental liposuction, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and tenderness in the treated area. You may need to wear a compression garment to support the healing process and reduce swelling. After the procedure, most patients feel well enough to resume normal activities within about a week. You’ll begin to notice results as the swelling subsides, but the full effects may take several months to become apparent.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Double Chin Lipo?
Men and women of all ages might struggle with excess fat under their chins. Many try to eliminate resistant submental fat through exercise and diet, but these strategies do not always yield their ideal facial shape. However, surgical intervention can offer the desired results. Candidates need to be in good general health and have good skin elasticity. Patients should also have realistic expectations about their results.
How to Prepare for Surgery
When you book a consultation for submental liposuction in Denver or Beverly Hills, Dr. Ladner will take your medical history and goals into consideration to develop a treatment plan specific to your needs. During the initial consultation, Dr. Ladner will thoroughly discuss the procedure and what to expect during and after the surgery.
You will also receive preoperative instructions, which will include discontinuing alcohol consumption and smoking several weeks before your surgery. You should also avoid certain medications, such as aspirin and ibuprofen, that can increase the risk of bleeding and bruising.
