Double chin liposuction

Fat that accumulates in the chin and neck area can be particularly resistant to diet, weight loss and exercise and can make you feel you look heavier or older that you are. Chin lipo is a long-lasting way to eliminate stubborn chin fat, known as submental fat. The jawline and neck can also be contoured and rejuvenated at the same time.

During the procedure, Mr Michael Mouzakis will make a tiny incision below the chin and then carefully suction out the unwanted fat by MicroLipo or Vaser Lipo.

During a MicroLipo procedure, a solution of saline, local anaesthetic, and adrenaline is injected into the treatment area. This helps to numb the area but also makes it easier to dislodge the fat cells. A microcannula is then inserted through a tiny incision and the fat removed.

There is a limit on how much can be removed with MicroLipo compared to other liposuction techniques, but this is more than enough to improve the appearance of the chin and jawline and MicroLipo is a highly effective treatment for submental fullness.

Chin lipo is usually performed as a day case procedure so you will be discharged the same day. The procedure takes approximately an hour and can be performed under local or general anaesthetic.

Frequently Asked Questions

AM I SUITABLE FOR SUBMENTAL LIPOSUCTION?

Many patients ask how they can get rid of a double chin. You are an ideal candidate for chin lipo if you have excess fat on the neck, jawline and under the chin, as well as being in good physical health and have realistic expectations of what can be achieved through surgery.

Skin elasticity is also an important factor and Mr Michael Mouzakis will carefully assess this at your consultation. If you have poor skin laxity – usually as a result of the ageing process – you will be advised what results you can expect, or you may wish to consider a skin tightening and excision procedure such as a facelift or neck lift.

WHAT IS THE RECOVERY LIKE AFTER CHIN LIPO?

Double chin reduction recovery is usually quite speedy, and most patients can return to work within a few days. You’ll be advised to wear a specially designed compression garment will help reduce swelling and support the skin and facial tissues while healing.

There will be a small amount of swelling and bruising in the initial period after your operation, but any discomfort is easily controlled with over-the-counter painkillers.
