Double Chin Liposuction
Frequently asked questions
How is double chin liposuction different from other methods of fat reduction?
Double chin liposuction is only aimed at the fat under the chin by a minimally invasive suction procedure that gives better definition to the jawline. Unlike the non-surgical alternatives, this technique removes the fat cells once and for all; hence, much more striking and/or immediate effects are seen.
How long does recovery take after double chin liposuction?
Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days; however, it is generally recommended to avoid heavy workouts for a couple of weeks. Initial swelling and bruising may occur and usually settle down within the first one to two weeks.
Are the results of double chin liposuction permanent?
Yes, the results tend to be long-lasting, as the fat cells suctioned out do not regenerate. Stability of weight and living a healthy lifestyle can further prolong the results.
Will I have visible scars after surgery?
Double chin liposuction involves just a small inconspicuous incision, usually underneath the chin, leading to very minimal scarring that, over time, may fade with good post-surgical care.
Who is the best candidate for liposuction of a double chin?
Ideal candidates include healthy adults with localized fat underneath the chin who wish to improve facial contours. The best candidates tend to be those patients with good skin elasticity, although a consultation with Dr. Çakıl can determine suitability on an individual basis.
