Chin Lipo can be pain free with proper local anesthesia

Amir Moradi, MD answers: Is liposuction of the chin painful?

I'm a 31 year old woman and I've never had a surgical operation before. I don't think I handle pain particularly well but i'd really like to have the area under my chin reshaped.

Once proper local anesthesia of the neck and chin has been administrated, the liposuction should be pain free. First, a small amount of local anesthesia is injected followed by infiltration of tumescent anesthesia

More importantly you must make certain that the liposuction of the submental (under the chin ) area will help you. If the fatty tissue is below the muscle of the neck (Sub-Platysmal), liposuction will not address that and an open approach is warranted.
