After Having Chin Liposuction, Where Will the Incisions Leave Visible Scars?

When chin liposuction is performed,
incisions are placed under the chin and behind the ear lobe.  In these locations, scars are nicely
hidden and aren’t easily noticed. Even when these wounds heal nicely, a scar
will be present.  If the area is
inspected closely it will always be visible.  Despite this, the majority of chin liposuction patients are
very happy with their scars and feel that they are essentially imperceptible.

Small skin incisions are well hidden and rarely noticeable after tumescent liposuction for the chin and neck areas. 

In most cases just a small stab incision under the chin where most of us already have a casr from crashing our bikes!! I usually close it with just one small stitch. And for the most part, patients LOVE the reults of chin/neck liposuction...

Chin or submental liposuction can be accomplished through a 3 mm incision that is made in the submental crease. This tiny incision heals to be a very inconspicuous scar. Commonly two additional incisions the same size are also made. These are place behind the ear lobes and are used to sculpt the neck and the lower face when indicated.

Thank you for your questions. I use the Tumescent liposuction method in our practice for neck liposuction. For this procedure, we use a microcannula to suction the fat, which leaves behind smaller incisions with minimal scarring. It is the safest method of liposuction with the shortest recovery period. Be sure to visit a board certified cosmetic / plastic surgeon for a consultation.

Because the skin incisions are so small, they do not require stiches after the procedure. So they are virtually undectectable after healing.

I place the incision under the chin and it is quite small. The scarring is minimal and this area heals quite well. I would never say that a surgery will not leave a scar but the result greatly outweighs any scarring concerns.

In chin liposuction, I usually make a very small incision just behind and under the chin.  Sometimes two tiny incisions are also made where the earlobe joins the face.  These scars usually heal very nicely and cannot be seen.

The very small incision for chin liposuction is placed in the natural crease under the chin and is almost never noticeable after healing. Two other very small incisions are placed by the earlobes and these also heal so well that they are not apparent after healing. A concern for scarring shouldn't be a reason to hesitate about chin liposuction. 

 

No surgery is without scars!

 Having said that Plastic Surgeons tend to hide scars that they are not readily visible.

I tend to do chin/neck liposuction through small incisions behind the earlobes and in the fold underneath your chin. Once the scars have fully matured (6-8 months) it should be very difficult to see them.
