If you are frustrated by unwanted fat along your jaw and neckline causing the appearance of a double chin, you may be a good candidate for chin lipo. Ideal candidates should be at or near their ideal body weight and have good skin elasticity in the neck area.
Remember that chin lipo only removes fat cells and does not do any skin tightening. Therefore, if you have a significant amount of loose skin on your neck, a chin liposuction procedure may not be for you.
You should not have any life-threatening or serious medical conditions that may impede your ability to safely undergo surgery or that may delay healing. Patients must be non-smokers and have realistic expectations about plastic surgery outcomes.
Most chin liposuction surgical procedures can be performed with local anesthesia and IV sedation. Once the anesthesia has been administered, double chin removal only requires tiny incisions — and usually just one, located right beneath the chin.
Your surgeon will then insert a thin metal tube with holes (called a cannula) and suction the excess fat out. Finally, your incision will be carefully closed, and a compression head strap will be applied to the treatment area to minimize swelling.
Following chin liposuction surgery, most patients have a smooth and easy recovery. You’ll need to wear a chin compression garment for a short time, and you will have some bruising, swelling, and discomfort. Patients must avoid strenuous activities for a while and may feel more comfortable staying at home for at least a week.
However, over time, you may return to your normal activities, and any pain, soreness, swelling, and bruising should fade away. With that said, some swelling can sometimes linger for several months, so it may take up to around three months to see your full results. Read some chin liposuction reviews from past patients to learn more about recovery.
Beverly Hills chin liposuction cost can vary widely based on a range of factors such as your surgeon’s experience, the complexity of your procedure, and your specific needs and goals.
Ultimately, your final price should include your surgeon’s fee, anesthesia costs, and facility fees. However, additional costs such as pre-operative tests, post-operative care, and medications may also apply.

At this point, chin liposuction patients should be feeling comfortable with little to no pain. Chin liposuction after 1 week usually marks the time when patients return to work or school as they can typically leave the house without their compression strap, and swelling and bruising have significantly reduced.
You will still have some swelling at this point, and the area may be lightly discolored and sensitive. It’s still important to take it easy. However, you should be seeing a rapid continuation of progress from here on out.
Fat is permanently removed from the chin area after chin liposuction. Therefore, your results should be long-lasting.
However, it’s still important to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Weight gain may change your results. Furthermore, no one can stop the hands of time, and you may experience excess loose skin on your neck and chin area over time, which can also alter your results.
Your liposuction procedure itself is not going to be painful because you’ll have anesthesia. Most chin lipo procedures can be performed under local anesthesia with IV sedation.
After surgery, you should not experience significant pain either. However, if you do have discomfort, pain medication can be prescribed. Wearing your compression garment and taking it easy in general will also help. For nearly all patients, pain should be gone by the end of the first week of chin lipo recovery.
Yes, you’ll have a small scar. But one of the great things about chin liposuction is that only a small incision is needed to accommodate the facial liposuction cannula. This incision is made right beneath the patient’s chin point. It will just be a few millimeters long
Once we close that up with a few stitches at the end of surgery, the resulting incision site will be extremely small. Most patients will see their incision site heal up and scar to just a small faded dimple over time.

Yes, absolutely. Chin liposuction (sometimes called neck liposuction or double chin liposuction) is a commonly-performed procedure.
Chin lipo gone wrong, like any other cosmetic procedure gone wrong, is typically the result of poor planning. This may mean poor planning on the part of the patient (not being adequately prepared for surgery or not being a good surgical candidate to begin with).
But even in these cases, more commonly, the fault falls on the plastic surgeon. When a bad outcome occurs following plastic surgery, it can be because the wrong surgeon was chosen for the job.
You should always choose a board certified plastic surgeon with well-rounded experience performing your desired surgery. They will ensure that you are an ideal candidate for your chosen procedure. In the event of an unavoidable poor outcome, they should be able to perform revision surgery.
Chin liposuction bruising is a natural side effect of surgery. Blood vessels beneath the skin are bothered during the procedure, and this leads to under-skin bleeding, which can be visible until it heals. For most patients, the majority of bruising should be gone within the first week of your recovery.
