Liposuction is most often performed on the thighs, abdomen, flanks, and buttocks, but many people are now opting to have liposuction of the chin, also known as cervicofacial liposuction, to remove their “double chins”. Fat often accumulates in this area as a result of hereditary, weight gain, and aging.
Patients typically turn to this procedure because this area is extremely resistant to any effects from dieting and exercise. However, this treatment allows you to get rid of those fatty deposits by having them surgically removed. A very small incision is made under the chin and the plastic surgeon uses a small cannula to suction out the excess fat tissue between the skin and the muscle. This process can significantly improve unsightly neck rolls, bulging jowls or double chins, creating a thinner, more defined jaw line.
Chin liposuction can be performed alone or in conjunction with a Face Lift or a Neck Lift. These procedures are more invasive and involve removing excess skin to reshape the neck.
