Chin Liposuction Procedure
Dr Frati starts the chin liposuction procedure by administering local anaesthetic and sedation to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure. Firstly, he numbs the chin and jawline area and then infiltrates it with a special liquid called tumescent fluid. This separates the fat from the skin and important anatomy and provides anaesthetic to numb the rest of the neck. Once you cannot feel anything, Dr Frati makes his incision just underneath the midline of the chin. He may make two incisions behind the ears depending on your treatment plan.
If VASER is your chosen liposuction method, Dr Frati then inserts the ultrasonic cannula to break up the fat. Next, he suctions out the emulsified fat with a different hollowed needle until he achieves the desired contour. Chin liposuction typically takes around 1 to 2 hours to complete.
Recovery
At the end of the surgery, Dr Frati places a garment around the chin and neck area to preserve results and control swelling. It is very to wear the compression garment to avoid uneven contour or during recovery, especially during the first postoperative week. Patients typically experience noticeable bruising and swelling that throughout recovery. To curb this, avoid all strenuous activity and exercise until healing is complete. Dr Frati recommends taking 7 to 10 days off of work to rest.
Results
Swelling can persist for 3 to 4 months after chin liposuction. This directly impacts your results, making them difficult to see until it dissipates. You may see a slight change at first, but your final chin may not be completely visible until 6 months to 1 year have passed. The upside is that these results are long-lasting, typically kept for 10 years or longer. As long as you are diligent with sun protection and keep a consistent weight, you can enjoy your improved chin contour for many years to come.
Corresponding & Complementary Procedures

This process also vaporises any leftover fat cells and removes them, improving your results. It can be easily performed in addition to chin liposuction.
