You don t need any holiday from work and you can directly go to work. Wear a chin strap garment when you return back to work after the surgery.

It is true that chin liposuction is not very invasive. Tumescent local anesthesia (TLA) is used for the surgery. With the assistance of the surgical staff, a TLA solution is prepared when you go for the surgery. This solution contains 1-2% concentration of Lidocaine and this is present along with saline. A minute cannula is inserted in the position where you want the chin reduction and the fat is sucked out through it. Don t opt for chin reduction surgery at once and try other measures before.

Chin liposuction is also known by the name of Submental liposuction. The procedure is meant to remove the excess fat that has formed below the chin.

So even if you lose weight you may not lose the double chin. Consult your doctor at the first appearance of a double chin.

4 of 4
The quality of skin is indeed an important criterion to have the chin liposuction surgery completed perfectly. This is because skin elasticity is a major factor which determines the success of the surgery. The doctor usually checks beforehand if the patient s skin is elastic enough to contract after the excess fat is removed. If the skin does not contract then your skin will not be smooth after the surgery. Check beforehand the elasticity of your skin to avoid disproportionate contours after surgery.
