Double Chin Liposuction

About your operation

A facial liposuction procedure takes about 45 minutes to an hour to perform and it is usually performed under general anaesthesia.

With the external incision the cannuleae (2-3mm titanium wands attached to a vacuum with a reservoir for the removed fat) will be inserted into the incisions under your chin and under each earlobe and the tip is moved back and forth to loosen the fat.

The suction will remove the loosened fat cells and your surgeon will continually pinch your skin between his thumb and forefinger to determine the amount to me removed.

Your surgeon will close your incisions with dissolvable sutures. Your neck and chin may feel tight and quite tender as the anaesthesia wears off. You will be given prescribed medication to alleviate this pain and discomfort.
