I’m considering chin lipo. I had a consult today he said I’m a good candidate. I’m 30, thin just have a bit of fat that doesn’t allow as much jaw definition. He stated there’s a risk of nerve damage. He also stated he stays away from smart lipo and he puts his patients under. I’ve seen many get this under local. Does getting put under increase the risk of nerve damage? I know it resolves. I have a wedding end of Dec. I’d like to know I can smile. What decreases the risk of nerve damage?
Answer: Local doesnt make risk higher the risk of nerve damage in liposuction is technically a neuropraxia, and expected to heal in 3 months. However, we dont expect a direct injury to nerve as the liposuction is done right under the skin and over the platysma muscle of neck, and the nerve courses deep to the platysma. Doing that under local anesthesia doesnt change the risk, there will be only nerve block for a couple of hours.

Answer: Risk of nerve damage With Liposuction in the chin/neck area there is always a risk of temporary or permanent paralysis of the nerve leading to the lower lip. This causes a crooked smile. In majority of the cases it comes back in 3 months.

Answer: 30 and thin, what decreases the risk of nerve damage during submental chin liposuction It would be best to post set of facial photographs including your neck to make a determination about the right procedure for you. Liposuction can only accomplish removing fat deposits above the platysma muscle, while a surgical neck lift with a platysma plasty is required if your fat deposits are located below the muscle. Liposuction alone will be ineffective if you're fat deposits below the muscle. Liposuction can be done under local anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. As long as the cannula is kept above the platysma muscle, you should not have any issues with nerve damage
