Having a double chin can be upsetting, especially if you go to great lengths to mask it. You may be someone who contours their face with skillfully applied makeup or who wears low-neck shirts to draw attention away from your double chin. Perhaps you’ve even started exercising. At last, you can stop expending so much effort. Do away with your methods for chin contouring and pick up the phone to call a chin liposuction plastic surgeon instead.

What Is Chin Liposuction?

You know about liposuction, but you may not know about chin liposuction. Chin liposuction is not uniquely different from standard liposuction; it is liposuction that targets your chin area. The doctor uses a cannula to extract excess fat from your chin as is done in traditional liposuction procedures. At the conclusion of the procedure, your chin will be more defined and taut.

How Long Does Chin Liposuction Last?

Liposuction permanently removes fat cells. These fat cells will not grow back. However, the fat cells you have remaining in your chin will increase in size if you continue to gain weight. When the size of your fat cells increases, it gives the impression that your double chin has returned. Therefore, you should maintain a healthy lifestyle of diet and exercise if you want long-lasting results.

Who Is a Candidate for Chin Liposuction?

Almost anyone is a candidate for chin liposuction. You must be 18 or older and you cannot be currently pregnant. If you meet those requirements, you are likely a candidate for this procedure unless your primary care physician says otherwise. Other candidacy factors to consider include but are not limited to:

• Your overall health.
• The elasticity of your skin.
• Whether you have the predisposition to developing blood clots.
• Whether you have enough chin fat to justify the cosmetic surgery.
• Whether you’re on medication that may interfere with the surgery.
