Each of the above benefits plays a critical role in the establishment of an overall appearance that yields an incredible sense of pride in the way you look. 

How is the Surgery Performed? 

As mentioned, double chin liposuction is a surgical procedure to remove unwanted fat from the chin area. 

After the effects of the anesthesia take hold, the surgery will commence. 

1. First, your chin area will be cleaned and prepared for surgery. Next, marks will be made in the natural creases of your skin underneath your chin, thus indicating the location of the forthcoming incisions. A fine surgical instrument is then employed to create the incisions and it should be noted that the incisions themselves are discreet and minute. 
2. Then, a tube (known as a “cannula”) will be inserted into the incisions and perform the actual process of liposuction. The fat is “sucked” out of your neck, creating a more defined and slimmer chin. 
3. Finally, the incisions are repaired and the surgery is complete. 

How Should You Prepare for Double Chin Liposuction? 

As with any surgical procedure, properly preparing for double chin lipo is an essential component in optimizing the results. Prior to the procedure, you will be supplied with clear, concise directions on how best to prepare. These directions will be tailored to your unique situation based on your medical history. 

With that said, there are general guidelines that all patients should follow as the date of their operation approaches. According to Dr. Qazi, “All patients are instructed to stop smoking and taking blood thinners 2 weeks before the procedure.” In addition, Dr. Qazi may instruct you to avoid certain medications and herbal supplements. 

What is the Recovery Process Like? 

Thankfully, the recovery process for double chin lipo is quite manageable. Just as with pre-surgery preparation, Dr. Qazi will issue you a complete guide to recovery that includes instructions pertaining to you and your individual circumstances. 

There are, however, steps that all patients should consider throughout their recovery process. You should be cognizant of the need to apply antibiotic cream to your chin, regularly change your bandages, and take care to avoid sun exposure.

What is the Recovery Time?  

Good news: most patients are cleared to resume all normal activities in as little as two weeks! The recovery time frame of double chin liposuction stands as one of the shorter periods of plastic surgery recovery, further reinforcing the advantages of electing for the procedure. 

How Long Until You See Results? 

Your chin will heal completely after 4-6 weeks (be sure to abide by all post-care instructions!).

Is it Possible to Combine Double Chin Lipo with Other Cosmetic Surgeries?   

Yes, it is entirely possible to pair double chin liposuction with other cosmetic surgeries. The procedure presents as a wonderful companion to various plastic surgeries, including neck lifts, face lifts, facial implants, and brow lifts. 

Opting to engage in multiple procedures represents a comprehensive approach to total physical rejuvenation.  During your consultation, Dr. Qazi and his team of surgeons will examine your circumstances in a holistic manner and will make the appropriate recommendations should you be considering other procedures in conjunction with double chin liposuction.

What is the Difference Between Chin Liposuction and a Neck Lift? 

Both procedures concern themselves with problem areas in the chin and neck region, though they do so through different methods. 

A neck lift is another form of plastic surgery. A neck lift involves not only removing excess fat, but also eliminating surplus skin, tissue, and banding.  As such, it is a more involved procedure that does more than strictly remove fat. Ultimately, the goal of a neck lift is to obliterate sagging skin on the neck, providing a firmer, tighter, smoother neck. 

In order to obtain a complete understanding of the neck lift procedure, let Dr. Qazi explain the procedure and details its benefits.  

Are the Results of Double Chin Liposuction Permanent? 

Yet another wonderful benefit of the procedure is the permanency of its results. Once removed from the body, fat cells do not regenerate so long as you maintain your weight – this holds true for all areas of the body, including the chin. In that vein, it is paramount that you stick to a healthy diet and engage in an appropriate level of exercise. Doing so will ensure the results of submental liposuction remain indefinitely. 

It’s Time to Get Rid of that Double Chin!

By now, the tremendous results and benefits of double chin liposuction should be abundantly clear. The procedure is safe, and effective, and yields the desirable goal of a more contoured, detailed chin. There is no reason – or excuse, for that matter – to continue to live with a double chin. Dr. Qazi and his team of surgeons excel in performing submental liposuction and are ready to help you begin your journey toward a refreshed, more youthful appearance.
