Chin liposuction

Chin liposuction

A “double” chin is a problem that is not always provoked by age-related changes. In most cases, this is a consequence of excess fat in the lower part of the face. Even in young and slender people, a so-called “fat trap” can form in the neck, chin and lower part of the face. The “double” chin can also be the result of metabolic disorders, heredity and other factors.

On the Internet you can find many techniques and tips that allow (naturally, in the opinion of their authors) to get rid of this problem using home remedies. But, as experts note, it is almost impossible to get rid of a “double” chin using natural methods. Chin liposuction will help solve this problem.

Indications for chin liposuction

Chin liposuction is required if there are any aesthetic problems in this area. They can be triggered by the following problems:

• Diabetes mellitus.
• Curvature of the spine.
• Diseases of the thyroid gland.
• Fluctuations in body weight, rapid changes of weight.
• Prolonged sedentary work.
• Weakened muscles in the neck and back.
• The habit of lowering the head, stoop when walking.
• Specific structure of the lower jaw.
• Long-term use of hormonal drugs.

Particular features of chin liposuction

Preparation for the operation begins with a preliminary consultation with a plastic surgeon and anesthesiologist at the clinic Andrei Leonidovich Kharkov.

The examination is complemented by the collection of anamnesis. Fluorography and ECG are required. Among the standard list of analyzes:

• General urine analysis.
• Biochemical and clinical blood test.
• Analysis for hepatitis, HIV, syphilis.

If no contraindications have been identified at this stage, the date of the operation is assigned. In the process of preparation, you should definitely stop smoking and drinking alcohol. It is also forbidden to take medications that thin the blood.

Chin liposuction belongs to the category of the most effective in plastic surgery. Nowadays two methods are used:

• Microscopic incision in the crease of the earlobe

A cannula is inserted through this incision, a thin hollow tube. If access to fat areas is difficult, an additional incision can be made in the submandibular region.

At the final stage, the surgeon sutures all incisions with cosmetic stitches.

• Incision in the mouth

In this case, absolutely no manipulations are performed on the face. After surgery on the mucous membrane, the patient will have to adhere to the prescribed diet and special hygiene.

The duration of chin liposuction is within 45 minutes. The operation is performed under both general anesthesia and local anesthesia.

At the initial stage of the operation, a plastic surgeon injects a special tumescent fluid into the neck. It is a combination of local anesthetic, saline and epinephrine. This solution perfectly narrows blood vessels, reduces bleeding and prevents bruising. Surgery does not involve the use of stitches.

Rehabilitation period

The first day after the surgery, the patient stays in the hospital of the clinic of Andrey Kharkov, under the supervision of medical personnel.

The period of “active” rehabilitation lasts for 5-7 days. The stitches are not removed after the surgery; the bandage must be worn for 3 days.

Painful sensations are stopped with the help of pain medications. In addition, hematomas and swelling may be present. To nullify the development of infection, the surgeon prescribes antibiotics.

Among the general recommendations of the rehabilitation period:

• Sleep only on your back.
• Preference should be given to liquid, puree and soft food.
• It is forbidden to warm up the affected area.
• You should refrain from using decorative cosmetics.

Both “before” and “after” chin liposuction, it is forbidden to drink alcoholic beverages, smoke, take specific medications.
