What are chin liposuction complications?

Liposuction is an excellent method
for treating localized fat collections of the neck.  The procedure significantly improves neck and jawline
contour and is associated with high satisfaction rates.  In addition, the procedure is
considered safe and has low complication rates.

The majority of liposuction
complications are related to inadequate aesthetic results.  These include contour irregularities,
dimpling of the skin, skin sag and asymmetry.  In addition, infection, hematomas and rarely injuries to the
marginal mandibular nerve can be seen.

The majority of these complications
resolve with time or in some cases can be treated with additional surgery.  Ultimately the vast majority of
patients are satisfied with their results.

You can have transient numbness of the chin if the mental nerve is anesthesized or bruised.  You can also have transient weakness of the marginal mandibular branch of the facial nerve which will resolve.  Another complication would be contour irregularity from liposuction and redundancy of skin which is not removed with liposuction.

Thank you for question. Complications from neck or chin liposuction can include, but are not limited to, damage to deeper structures, poor aesthetic result, and burns. For optimal results and safety, it is very important to seek consultation and treatment from an experienced provider in aesthetic body contouring. Best wishes, Dr. David Amron

There are risks to crossing the street or flying in an airplane and, of course, there are risks to any surgical procedure. These risks can occur regardless of surgeon or technique. These include but are not limited to: infection, hematoma, discomfort, wound breakdown, visible or hypertrophic scar formation, asymmetry, failure of skin contraction, unfavorable healing, dimpling, over correction/under correction, implant rotation, migration, infection, exposure, bony erosion, dental injury, nerve injury with diminished lip sensation (which can cause drooling), palpability, visibility, distortion with muscular contraction, capsular contracture, interference with lip/chin sensation, need for secondary surgical revisions, and inability to guarantee a specific cosmetic result. Although many other claims of diseases associated with silicone implants have been reported these have not been substantiated by major studies.

In the right hands, Chin Liposuction is very safe. It is important to be certain chin liposuction is the right procedure for you, as skin laxity can actually be worsened by liposuction in some cases. Precision, expertise and patience is required to get the best results from chin liposuction. Liposuction, as you may have heard in the popular media, is the most commonly performed surgical procedure each year in the United States. Here's a statistic that you may not have heard: the majority of physicians performing liposuction in the United States are not plastic surgeons; in fact, many do not have any formal surgical training whatsoever. It seems hard to believe, but many physicians performing liposuction have had no more training in liposuction than a 'weekend course'. One way to determine whether or not a physician has had appropriate training in a particular surgery is to confirm that they have hospital privileges for that procedure, and that the procedure is being performed in an accredited facility.  I would not be surproised to learn that these physicians will have lower prices and perhaps set prices for surgeryI fear that some practitioners view liposuction as a 'simple' surgery, since it does not involve making large incisions, and it requires little, if any, suturing. Nothing could be further from the truth. Liposuction, in my mind, is a very challenging and rewarding operation that requires careful planning and preparation, and a great deal of care and finesse when it is actually performed. It requires a three-dimensional understanding of the layers of human anatomy, an understanding that is second nature to a surgeon alone. I think that it is often an inadequate understanding of anatomy (and, perhaps, of the body's response to surgery) which leads to the poor results in liposuction that unfortunately are so often seen.

 The complications that can occur during liposuction are all extremely rare. They are numbness which is usually temporary, a temporary paralysis of the marginal mandibular nerve if it gets stretched, hematoma, dimpling. It's important to make sure the skin tone is quite adequate in the neck so that it shrink wraps over the new neck contour. In patients over 50 years of age a lower facelift will be required  to tighten skin

Good question, particularly since many patients and doctors think of liposuction as being a minimal risk procedure.  The risks are few and typically temporary but they're basically:

Dimpling of the skin

Asymmetry

Nerve injury causing lower lip weakness or asymmetry

bruising and swelling are definitely expected

That's are the main risks.

There are a few potential complications, most are rare, from chin liposuction. These include dimpling/puckering of the skin, nerve damage, sagging under the chin, asymmetry, hematomas, and infection. If you are a good candidate with good muscle tone and skin elasticity you should do well.

The main complications with liposuction are divits, asymmetries, skin irregularities, and skin bagging under the chin.  You could also have nerve injury, hematoma (bleeding under the skin) or seroma (fluid collecting under the skin).  Your surgeon will have a detailed discussion concerning the risks, benefits, and alternatives of your surgery.  The main thing is that if you have a lot of skin or fat under your chin, decompressing the skin with liposuction may result in skin hanging under your skin.  Your surgeon should help you form realistic expectation and answer all of your questions.

My lists are as follows: No results, irregular result, burns, bleeding, infection, lumpiness, hard areas, hair loss in area, numbness, scars. There you go. Good Luck from MIAMI
