Dr. Reddy, a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in facial aesthetics, understands that a defined jawline and sleeker chin can significantly enhance one’s confidence and overall appearance.

Benefits and Expected Outcomes of Submental Liposuction

Submental fullness can be a source of insecurity for many individuals. Submental liposuction offers numerous benefits, including:

  • Improved neck and jawline definition: Say goodbye to the double chin and hello to a more sculpted and youthful profile.
  • Enhanced facial harmony: Achieve a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing look with a refined jawline.
  • Minimally invasive procedure: Enjoy a quick recovery with minimal scarring.
  • Boosted self-confidence: Feel more confident and comfortable in your own skin.

Following submental liposuction, you can expect to see swelling and bruising in the area of the liposuction. The final results, however, will become more apparent as the swelling subsides.

The final result may take up to 6 months to fully evolve.  While some temporary discomfort and swelling are common, they are typically mild and easily managed.

What is the Recovery Process like, and What Can I Expect Post-Surgery?

Dr. Reddy will provide personalized post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery. Most patients experience minimal downtime and can resume their normal activities within a few days.

Wearing a compression garment around the clock for the first two weeks will help minimize swelling and support the new contours of your neck and chin.

Am I a Good Candidate for Submental Liposuction?

If you’re bothered by excess fat under your chin or around your neck area, and you’re in good overall health, you may be a suitable candidate for submental liposuction.

Good candidates for this procedure are usually 35 or younger with good skin elasticity. Patients in their late 40s and 50s with excess skin laxity around the lower face and neck may be better candidates for a facelift. 

During a consultation, Dr. Reddy will assess your individual case, considering your medical history and aesthetic goals. She will also discuss any potential risks and limitations of the procedure to ensure that it’s the right choice for you.
