The actual fat removal is done through Awake liposuction. The Awake liposuction procedure is a type of ultrasonic liposuction, unique in that it allows our surgeon, Dr. Singh, to be both gentle and extremely precise while removing unwanted fat. In this technique, strong ultrasound waves break down the bonds between the fatty tissue and the underlying muscles, allowing the fat to be sucked out. Unlike traditional liposuction, it is not aggressive and does not cause damage to surrounding tissue.
Since the chin liposuction we offer is a minimally invasive procedure and does not necessitate general anesthesia, the recovery is usually very quick. In general, the most you can expect is mild bruising or swelling for one week after the procedure. You might also be required to wear a compression garment 5 to 7 days after the procedure. Since every case is different, we will provide you with detailed specific post-operative instructions for your specific needs.

The most common cause of failure of chin liposuction is the person regaining a lot of weight which leads to fat accumulation around the chin area again. This is because when a person gains weight, although many fat cells are removed from the chin, those left behind can expand up to multiple times their original size and store the new fat there.
To ensure that the effects of chin liposuction are permanent, it is crucial to maintain a healthy weight and eat a healthy diet. As we complement chin liposuction with Renuvion, which tightens the skin, the effects are even longer lasting since not only the fat but the skin is also treated.
