Facts About Chin Liposuction

By Fred Turman

Cosmetic surgeries are increasingly becoming the number one method of acheiving a beauty standard. Many women and a significant amount of men are getting cosmetic surgery done. A significant amount of people of all ages and genders are receiving liposuction services. Among the many types of cosmetic services that are being performed chin liposuction is one of the simpliest.

When seeking to have chin liposuction done you need to make sure that the plastic surgeon that you have chosen is board certified. Chin liposuction is a way that many have decided to remove the pocket of fat that is located under the chin and jawline. Chin liposuction can eliminate excess fat or sagging skin of the upper neck to create a sleek defined attractive jawline. Most people workout endlessly trying to decrease that fat pocket under the chin so that they can have that chiseled look that comes with good bone structure. A method that is being used to help many people acheive this desired look is the tumescent technique. This is a method that requires a small incision under the chin located where it is almost undetected.

The tumescent technique is done with local anestetic using a small instrument called a cannula. The technique pumps a solution below the skin in the area that is going to be suctioned. This solution is a salt water saline and is added with local anesthetic to numb the area and the fat is then suctioned out through small suction tubes called microcannulas. The procedure is also one that can be had in combination with other aesthetic surgeries. The tumescent procedure is becoming a highly popular method because of its relative safety, however no surgery is 100 % and patients should make sure that they ask questions and do the necessary research, so they feel more comfortable about the procedure and their doctor.

When the patient is undergoing this procedure they are given a local anesthetic, when the procedure is completed a plastic wrap is given to put around the face for a few days. There is minimal bruising, recovery is relatively quick and the patient should be ready to resume regular duties within a few days. - 16004
