Submental Liposuction
Submental Liposuction
Submental liposuction, also known as neck liposuction, is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat from the area below the chin, commonly referred to as the "submental region." It is designed to target and eliminate stubborn fat deposits that cannot be reduced through diet and exercise alone, leaving you with a more defined, contoured facial profile.
Additionally, submental liposuction is known for its quick recovery time compared to other cosmetic procedures. Most patients can return to work and their daily activities within a few days to a week following the surgery. Results are usually visible within a few weeks after surgery, with the final outcome becoming evident after about three to six months, once the swelling has subsided.
Submental liposuction is suitable for a wide range of patients seeking a more defined and sculpted facial appearance. Although submental liposuction can produce fantastic results on its own, sometimes it may be beneficial to combine it with other cosmetic procedures to further enhance your overall appearance. Common complementary procedures include:
- Facelift: For patients with significant loose skin or muscle laxity in the lower face and neck, submental liposuction might be combined with a facelift to achieve a more dramatic transformation.
- Chin or Cheek Augmentation: To further define and contour the facial profile, submental liposuction can be combined with chin or cheek augmentation using facial implants or non-surgical fillers.
- Neck Lift: If there is significant skin sagging or loosened neck muscles, submental liposuction may be combined with a neck lift to achieve a comprehensive rejuvenation of the entire neck and lower face.
