In many cases, stubborn excess chin fat can only be removed through a surgical procedure like chin liposuction in Riverside. Liposuction, or lipoplasty, is a fat-reduction surgery commonly performed on the belly, thighs, arms, chin, neck, and buttocks to eliminate flab.

What is Chin Liposuction?

Chin liposuction, also called chin lipo, is commonly performed by Dr. Todd Rau to address double-chin issues. This cosmetic surgery procedure removes excess fat and reshapes the neck area. It is usually done alongside facelifts to create improved contouring.

Is Chin Liposuction Right for Me?

If you have unwanted flab on your neck and chin that diet and exercise cannot seem to eliminate, then chin liposuction is an option you might want to consider.

This cosmetic procedure alone might not be able to address your issue if your skin is loose and not elastic. In that case, you might also need a neck lift.

If you have health problems like a weak immune system, diabetes, or heart disease, this surgery might be too risky for you. Also, you should be in good physical health and must not smoke in order to qualify as an ideal candidate for this facial contouring surgery.

Your Chin Liposuction Consultation

A typical consultation for chin lipoplasty involves a physical examination of your chin and neck areas. Dr. Rau will be asking questions about your health and lifestyle so that he can be well-informed before the procedure.

You may be asked to do a couple of things to prepare for your surgery. These instructions might include diet restrictions and avoidance of alcohol. If you are taking supplements or medications, let Dr. Rau know.

What is Chin Liposuction Surgery Like?

Dr. Rau will map out the areas that need to be treated using a marker. Then, local anesthesia will be administered. A small incision will be made where the cannula will be inserted. The cannula will be inserted, and fat cells will then be loosened and removed through the cannula.

Depending on the technique and extensiveness of the treatment, the whole procedure could last for a few hours. After the operation, Dr. Rau might leave the incision open to let excess blood and fluid drain properly.

What is Recovery Like?

After chin liposuction, numbness, swelling, and bruising in the chin region are normal and should clear up after a few days. Analgesics and anti-inflammatory drugs or ointment are given to help with post-surgery pain and discomfort. Normally, with proper care, you should be able to go back to work after a week.
