Pain after Chin Liposuction should be minimal

Brian K. Brzowski, 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.

if you're talking about postoperative pain (your plastic surgeon has plenty of options to keep you comfortable during the surgery), you shouldn't be too uncomfortable afterwards. Most patients will have soreness following the procedure that is easily controlled with medication. Given the relative comfort of the procedure, you might think that your results will be less impressive; nothing could be further from the truth!

Generally speaking, the results from liposuction of the chin are the most impressive and consistent.  With good technique and proper patient selection, the change in appearance of this area with liposuction can be remarkable.
