Chin liposuction is a procedure that could eliminate the excess fats and loose, saggy skin of upper necks. Just like other liposuction procedures, chin liposuction involves minimum pain, allows for a faster recovery time and provides an effective way of getting rid of unwanted fats on the chin.

While the muscle tone of chins can be improved through exercise, the collection of fat under the chin or upper neck remains. However, since fats from the chin are very difficult to get rid of, chin liposuction may be your last resort.

Although other methods, such as chin tucks and facelifts, can be used in keeping those double chins off, the most advanced and newest method is the chin liposuction. By undergoing chin liposuction, there will be lesser scarring, but a faster recovery.

The Advantages of Chin Liposuction

When a patient chooses chin liposuction, he or she should expect smaller incisions compare to those used in facelifts. These small incisions, which heal very quickly, are possible due to smaller instruments used in new liposuction methods.  Another advantage of chin liposuction is that incisions are generally placed in rarely visible areas.

When the surgeon recommends chin liposuction using the tumescent technique, you will be placed under local anesthesia, but you will experience little bleeding and lesser tissue trauma. As a result, patients could quickly go back to normal daily activities after a surgery.

Although most patients are required to take at least two days off from work after a chin liposuction procedure, they are easily able to perform daily tasks during that time. Unlike the potential risks of a facelift, chin liposuction produces minimal bruising or swelling that quickly subsides.

After a chin liposuction, a special protection garment is worn for a day or two. This elastic, protective chinstrap is used in providing patients with gentle pressure for the first few days prior to surgery. However, this strap is immediately taken off after a few days and then no special maintenance or care is required.

Although facelift has been a procedure used for decades, the advancements of chin liposuction surgery gives way to a more effective and less traumatic option of removing those unwanted double chins.

Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction also called Vaser Liposuction. The liposuction method uses a cannula which transmits ultrasound vibration within the body. The ultrasound vibration will burst the walls of the fat cells and liquefying the fat. This will make it easier for the suction.

Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction has slightly less blood loss comparing to the old tumescent liposuction. However comparing to Water-Assisted Liposuction, Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction has more blood loss.

Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction produces heat when performing the surgery. The ultrasound vibration produces heat which can be harmful to the body. This heat can leave irregularity of skin or permanent ugly scars after the surgery.

Water-Assisted Liposuction produces no heat when performing the surgery. A thin fan-shaped water beam cannula is used with Water-Assisted Liposuction. This cannula is really helpful when performing liposuction. It adds water continually during the liposuction session.

The water that the cannula adds will help loosing the fat cells in the body. The fat will be ****** very easily.

Water-Assisted Liposuction will not leave irregularity of skin or permanent ugly scars. More over the suction capability of Water-Assisted Liposuction is 10 times more than Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction.

Water-Assisted Liposuction has a suction capability of 2000 – 3000 cc. per session while Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction has lower suction capability of 400 – 500 cc. per session.

The recovery time of Water-Assisted Liposuction is better. It’s only takes 7 – 10 days. Also this method is less pain, bruise and swelling.

Therefore Water-Assisted Liposuction is better than Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction.

Water-Assisted Liposuction helps you reduce your costs because in one session of the operation you can get rid of more fat. This method is also the safer way comparing to Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction.

Normally a surgeon will let you have a general anesthesia before the liposuction. Water-Assisted Liposuction is different. It does only require a local anesthesia. You can discuss with your surgeon during the surgery about the seeing result. This means the result is adjustable with your help to the surgeon.

Please be aware that all cosmetic surgery procedures have their risks. To know more about the risk you can consult with the surgeons before having the surgery. Many surgeons don’t add consultation fee before the surgery. You can find out more about the price on their websites.

Finally you should find out if the surgeon is board certified and licensed to perform cosmetic surgery.
