Bronx Chin Liposuction doctors

A: Chin lipo for just fat If all you have is fat under the chin, you would not need a facelift, which is designed for wrinkled, excess, or sagging chin and facial musculature. Chin liposuction works beautifully in patients with localized fat deposits under the chin with low cost and speedy recovery. If you have signs of facial aging, then a facelift should not be considered right now.

A: Chin liposuction incision There is one incision for most patients which is about 3/4 inch long through which the entire procedure can be performed. The incision is hidden under the chin and heals so as to be almost invisible. This is a delicate procedure using smaller cannulas than for an abdominal liposuction and is also shorter in duration-generally about 1/2 hour. Patients can return to work within a few days and, particularly in winter, camouflage the initial bruising with scarves or turtlenecks. The result should be a more defined, aesthetically pleasing chin line.

A: Nonsurgical skin tightening The nonsurgical methods including laser skin tightening and Thermage will not produce results comparable to chin liposuction. The recovery time from lipo is very short, the pain is managed with over the counter medication, and the incision will not be visible. I don't think that there is a downside to this procedure. Like the nonsurgical methods, it can be performed in the office.
