Liposuction is a popular surgery that removes excess fat from various areas of the body and assists patients who are dissatisfied with the extra "submental" fat development in the chin area in achieving a thinner, more harmonious facial and neck aesthetic. This procedure uses small cannulas, leaving no visible scar after the operation. The surgery, also known as submental liposuction, is performed on an outpatient basis, and the recovery period generally lasts for 3 days or less.

Recovery after submental liposuction is relatively fast. After the surgery, there may be pain and swelling in the surgical area. To alleviate these symptoms, it is necessary to use the band that will wrap around the chin area for at least one week after the operation. You can return to work and other activities the day after. However, to prevent complications, you should wait at least two weeks before starting any strenuous exercise.

The effects of the surgery can be visibly noticeable at least one to two weeks after the complete reduction of swelling. The liposuction effects are long-lasting if you maintain a healthy and active lifestyle. Changes in weight after the surgery can affect both the chin area and the rest of your body. Submental liposuction can be combined with other anti-aging procedures to help maintain positive results.
