What is Jawline and Chin Liposuction?
Jawline and chin liposuction is a cosmetic procedure designed to refine the chin and jaw area by removing excess fat deposits. Many people carry pockets of fat in this area, sometimes called submental fullness, that are resistant to diet or exercise. Using precise and minimally invasive liposuction methods, Dr. Hartline can sculpt a sleeker, more defined, more youthful-looking profile.
Benefits of Jawline and Chin Liposuction
- Eliminate a “double chin”
- Strengthen and define the appearance of the jawline
- Improve facial harmony and symmetry
- Customizable to meet each patient’s unique needs and goals
What to Expect From Your Jawline and Chin Liposuction
Each of Dr. Hartline’s patients receive personalized care that is tailored to their individual needs. She will prioritize your desired results, as well as your health and safety, to create a treatment plan for you.
Preparing for Jawline and Chin Liposuction Surgery
During your consultation appointment, Dr. Hartline will discuss your concerns and goals and explain your options. If jawline and chin liposuction is right for you, she will give you detailed pre-surgical instructions. If you smoke or use nicotine products, you should plan to quit at least 2 months prior to your surgery date.
Your Jawline and Chin Liposuction Procedure
Jawline and chin liposuction is typically an outpatient procedure performed with general anesthesia. Dr. Hartline will use very small, strategically placed incisions and advanced liposuction techniques to precisely sculpt your jawline and chin to achieve your desired outcome.
Recovery After Jawline and Chin Liposuction
Since it is in a relatively small area, many patients find that this procedure requires less downtime than other liposuction procedures. You may experience temporary swelling and bruising after surgery, which should diminish within 1 to 2 weeks. Depending on your treatment plan, Dr. Hartline may recommend a supportive garment or chin strap to wear during your recovery. Discomfort after this procedure is typically minimal, but Dr. Hartline will advise you on medication to relieve any post-surgical pain.
