Overview:
Submental/Neck Liposuction is a highly effective and specialised surgical procedures that precisely targets and removes excess fat under the chin and around the jawline/neck regions to create a more defined and youthful appearance. This transformative treatment specifically addresses patient concerns such as “double chin and/or heavy neck”.
Treatment:
This process involves tiny skin incisions through which a thin tube, called a cannula, is inserted to suction out the targeted fat in the desired area. Liposuction can be performed under local anaesthesia as a solo procedure or under general anaesthesia if performed in combination with other facial plastic surgery procedures.
Recovery:
After submental/neck liposuction, patients may experience some mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness in the treated areas. These temporary side effects are common and can be managed by adhering to a strict post-operative care regime.
Patients typically return to their normal activities within a few days to a week, though it is advisable to avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting during the initial healing phase. Patients are advised to wear a face garment for up to 4-6 weeks after surgery.
Over the following weeks to months, patients will notice a gradual improvement in their chin and neck contours, achieving a more defined and sculpted profile.
