Chin or Neck Liposuction is NOT painful at all
Liposuction of the jowls, jawline, below the chin/ neck area is not a painful procedure at all. It is done under local anesthesia only and you can drive yourself home afterwards and be back to work in 1-2 days. There is almost no bruising and it costs roughly $2500.

Liposuction of the chin and neck can be performed with very little pain
Hi
Every individual has a different pain tolerance and therefore a different experience with surgery. In regards to pain, there are two periods to consider. One is during the operation and the second is during the postoperative recovery. The pain during the operation for liposuction of the chin and neck area should be very mild depending on the type of anesthesia. In the simplest situation the procedure can be performed under local anesthesia and the discomfort would be primarily from the...

Liposuction - pain
When it comes to post-operative pain, everyone is different and their own pain tolerance. However, most patients have relatively little pain after neck liposuction. Most of my patients take very minimal pain medication. The most cumbersome part of the post-op period is wearing the neck compression garment which can be a little uncomfortable. However, this area heals well. If you're considering surgery, I recommend you see a surgeon for a consultation to...

Chin and Neck Liposuction
Chin liposuction should be approached with caution as the mentalis muscle is closely adherent to the overlying skin. However, neck liposuciton is easily performed and can be performed safely in a well equipped procedure room.
Speak to a plastic surgeon about the incision sites, the amount of skin redundancy, the technique for liposuction, and the postoperative recovery.

Chin Liposuction discomfort usually quite minimal
A liposuction under the chin could be done under local or general anesthesia. In many cases patients just to avoid going under general anesthesia request this procedure under the local anesthetic. It takes about an hour to have it done and patient should not feel pain during the procedure when done under general and minimal pain if any when done under local.
The pain medication may be needed to control the pain and discomfort after the surgery. The recovery time depends on the individual;...

Pain with Chin Liposuction
Evening,
I'm not sure that I'd describe it as painful. . .really not much at all. My patients have all the performed under local anesthesia and the process of becoming numb stings a bit at first but then it's smooth sailing. The healing and after care are very managable and I've just never had a patient complain of pain afterwards. Now, if you have this and a chin implant performed at the same time then yes, the chin implant is umcomfortable for about 3 days....

Liposuction Chin Painful?
Thank you for the question.
Liposuction surgery done by experienced plastic surgeons should not be painful. Usually these procedures involve a small/superficial surface area that is treated and patients tolerate procedure extremely well.
Best wishes.

Minimal discomfort with chin liposuction
Liposuction of the chin and neck is a relatively easy procedure with minimal discomfort and pain associated with it. Patients are amazed at how easy the procedure is and how quickly they recover afterwards. It is very safe and comfortable to do under local tumescent anesthesia. Light sedation with valium and demerol helps to put an anxious patient at ease. It is unnecessary to undergo general anesthesia for this minor procedure.

Liposuction of small areas usual results in minimal discomfort
Small cannula and particularly laser assisted or SmartLiposuction techniques typically result in minimal discomfort and a fast recovery. Local anesthetic solution is used during the surgery and this provides hours of pain relief after your procedure. The underlying muscle will be tender but this is easily managed with over the counter medications, ice and the use of the a compression garment used during the first few days.
There are usually one or two small incisions in the skin but...
