A double chin is a fatty protrusion located under the chin. It can be caused by various factors: age, weight gain, or genetics. Fortunately, there is an effective solution to get rid of a double chin: liposuction. Often, patients who have undergone double chin liposuction are not fully satisfied because either skin folds remain, or deep fat remains. Dr. Lyor Hanan, a specialist in facial surgery, will explain after a thorough clinical examination of the double chin whether your case allows for full satisfaction from neck liposuction.
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes localized fat deposits. The results are defined 2 to 3 months after the operation.
Double chin liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes the fat located under the chin. The goal is to reattach the skin to the buccal floor and neck muscles. This surgical procedure offered by Dr. Lyor Hanan is often associated with cheek liposuction if fatty tissue is present on the cheeks and jowls.
Double chin liposuction is indicated when there is an excess of fat under the chin and this physical imperfection becomes complex.
Very often, this double chin is not sensitive to weight loss and appears very young, never disappearing. It is especially visible when the patient slightly tilts their head downwards.
It is a minimally invasive surgical option.
Candidates for double chin liposuction must have good skin quality for it to tighten satisfactorily over the neck muscles after the procedure. Indeed, the skin will determine the success of the liposuction. If the skin is loose, a treatment to tighten it, like RENUVION J PLASMA(without additional scarring), should be considered, or if the sagging is significant, a neck lift should be considered.
This procedure is generally recommended for people 18 years or older in good general health and without chronic illnesses.
Before the operation, it is important to thoroughly discuss your expectations and desired results with your surgeon. Dr. Lyor Hanan offers you an appointment to examine your double chin. This preoperative step is crucial to accurately assess your needs and propose a tailored intervention. Following the appointment, he will guide you on the best procedure suited to your case: standalone double chin liposuction or combined with skin treatment by RENUVION J PLASMA. If the skin is too loose, he will suggest a neck lift technique.
If you are a smoker, Dr. Lyor Hanan recommends not smoking three weeks before and after the intervention to reduce the risk of complications and speed up healing.
The procedure is quite simple: Dr. Lyor Hanan starts by anesthetizing the patient, usually with local anesthesia, but if the patient is sensitive or apprehensive about the medical environment, a short general anesthesia may be considered.
The surgeon then makes a small incision under the chin to insert a small tube (called a cannula) connected to a vacuum. The excess fat is sucked out through this tube. Finally, the surgeon closes the incisions with a resorbable suture. The scars are almost invisible. Dr. Lyor Hanan then applies a compressive dressing around the head.
The procedure is short: it lasts 30 minutes, and the patient leaves the clinic the same day after cervical liposuction.
After the procedure, it is important to wear a compressive dressing for a few days to reduce swelling and promote healing. Sports activities can be resumed after 3 to 4 weeks.
Double chin liposuction has several advantages:
