Thank you for your question. Chin liposuction usually takes an hour or two to perform. In my office, we use the Awake lipo technique, which is done using local anesthesia. This reduces the time you need to spend in our office after your treatment. Awake lipo begins with an injection of tumescent fluid into the treatment area, which loosens fat cells and makes them easier to remove. The technique involves less trauma to surrounding tissue, shortening your recovery time in many cases. Once the tumescent fluid is injected, tiny cannulas are inserted to gently suction away the unwanted fat. The incisions required for the cannulas do not require sutures and rarely leave visible scarring behind. Chin liposuction offers dramatic, long-lasting contouring of the jawline in the right patient. Make sure your doctor is both board certified and experienced in this procedure to ensure an optimal outcome.
