Liposuction double bay removes unwanted fat in the submental area of the neck and chin to contour the face and define the jawline. It is an effective solution for people who have persistent pockets of excess fat, despite healthy eating and exercise, or those who are not candidates for surgical weight loss procedures such as a facelift or neck lift.
The procedure is performed as an outpatient at a fully equipped doctor’s office, ambulatory surgery center, or hospital. It uses local anesthesia or a sedative to minimize discomfort. A small tube called a “cannula” is inserted into the targeted area to suction away the loosened fat. The treatment can be enhanced by using ultrasound or laser technology to liquefy the fat, making it easier to remove through the narrow cannula.
Sculpting Your Silhouette: Liposuction in Double Bay
A qualified plastic surgeon can determine if liposuction is the best option for you. We look at several factors, including your age, skin tone, medical history, and overall health. We also consider whether you are taking certain medications, including aspirin or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which can affect your healing process.
The ideal candidate for chin liposuction is a healthy adult who has a fullness or heaviness of the neck and jawline that makes them appear overweight, even though they are at a normal body weight. They are usually not happy with their appearance in profile pictures and want to have a more defined chin and jawline. Liposuction is also a viable solution for those who have excess fullness of the neck and jawline from genetics or aging and have been unable to resolve it with exercise and diet.
