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.
