Chin Liposuction
in Grand Rapids, MI
If you’re wondering how to get rid of a double chin, we have the answer for you: chin liposuction. Chin liposuction removes fat from the chin area, which is nearly impossible to get rid of through diet and exercise. Aging and genetics are the most common causes of a double chin, which is due to a buildup of fat deposits and skin loosening. Chin liposuction results in a more sculpted jawline, which creates a more youthful appearance.
Why Consider Chin Liposuction?
Self-confidence and self-esteem are the two biggest reasons people consider getting chin liposuction. While non-surgical treatments, such as Kybella or CoolSculpting®, can also be used to eliminate fat from the chin, chin liposuction is a solution that provides markedly more dramatic results. Also, it’s typically a one and done procedure versus non-invasive fat reduction options that may require multiple treatments to achieve a noticeable outcome.
If you’re interested in getting rid of your double chin, scheduling a consultation is the next step to take.
What to Expect with Chin Liposuction
The nice thing about chin liposuction is that it’s a relatively simple procedure. A small incision is made in a discreet area, and a wand known as a cannula is inserted and “sucks” away the unwanted fat. From start to finish, the entire procedure is is relatively fast. You’ll still need a caretaker on the day of your procedure, but most chin liposuction patients are feeling pretty good after just a couple of days.
Chin Liposuction Recovery
With chin liposuction, you’ll be given a compression wrap to wear when you leave. This wrap helps reduce the bruising and swelling that commonly occurs with this procedure, and we recommend wearing it nonstop for the first seven days. Additional post-procedure instructions will be provided before you leave.
Ideal Candidate for Chin Liposuction
To be considered an ideal candidate for chin liposuction, you should be generally in good health and a nonsmoker. You should have excess fat in the chin and/or neck area that is resistant to diet and exercise.
