Submental liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess fat from under the chin, commonly known as the "double chin." It contours the jawline and neck, creating a more defined and youthful appearance. The procedure is minimally invasive, typically involving small incisions and a quick recovery time.
Submental liposuction is a non-invasive and effective procedure designed to target stubborn fat deposits beneath the chin. Ideal candidates for this treatment include:
Patients with Excess Submental Fat: Individuals with localized fat under the chin that do not respond to diet or exercise, leading to the appearance of a double chin.
Those Looking for a More Defined Jawline: Patients who want to enhance the contours of their neck and jawline for a more sculpted profile.
Healthy Individuals: Those who are in good overall health and do not have significant skin laxity or other medical conditions that may interfere with healing.
Dr. Schwarcz will evaluate your overall health and facial anatomy during your consultation to determine if submental liposuction is the right option for you based on your goals.
While submental liposuction offers significant benefits for many individuals, there are certain factors that may preclude you from undergoing the procedure. You may not be a good candidate for submental liposuction if:
Have Significant Skin Laxity: If you have loose, sagging skin in the neck or chin area, you may not achieve the desired contour with liposuction alone and may need additional procedures like a neck lift.
Have Active Medical Conditions: Individuals with uncontrolled health conditions, such as diabetes, blood-clotting disorders, or severe cardiovascular disease, may need to address these issues before proceeding with liposuction.
Submental liposuction is typically performed under local anesthesia, though sedation may be used for patient comfort. The procedure generally involves the following steps:
Consultation: Dr. Schwarcz will assess your submental fat and discuss your aesthetic goals to create a personalized treatment plan.
Incision: Small incisions, typically placed under the chin or in the natural folds of the skin, are made to minimize visible scarring.
Fat Removal: Dr. Schwarcz uses a cannula (a thin tube) to break up and suction out excess fat from the submental area, carefully sculpting the neck and jawline.
Closing the Incisions: The incisions are then closed with fine sutures, ensuring minimal scarring and a smooth healing process.
The procedure usually takes about 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the amount of fat to be removed.
One of the main advantages of submental liposuction is the minimal recovery time. After the procedure, you may experience mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which typically subside within a few days to a week. Dr. Schwarcz will provide detailed post-operative care instructions to help manage any discomfort and ensure optimal healing.
Patients can generally return to their normal activities within a few days, although strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for about two weeks. The final results of submental liposuction, including a more defined neck and jawline, will gradually become more apparent as swelling resolves. It may take several weeks for the full results to be visible.
