To remove excess fat from someone chin they make three little incisions right below the both ears, and that is how they remove the fat from the persons neck? Let's say someone has very little fat, can the procedure take less than an hour to complete? After the procedure would there be any stitches that would be needed to stitch the areas where the incisions were made? After all this is done how long will the downtime be?

Answer: Chin lipo with incisions below ears best liposuction is accomplished when the liposuction wand is passed through many crosshatching directions to avoid trenching. My personal preference is to poke a small hole behind the earlobes as well as under the chin so that I have access from multiple directions. Yes, the procedure takes less than an hour to complete and I rarely go to the operating room for just chin lipo. It is often added on with another cosmetic procedure. I put a small non-absorbable suture in each entry point to tack it closed, but loosely so that the tumescent can leak out during the first 24 hours. Downtime for just chin lipo is fairly short - 3/4 days, but since this is usually combined with another procedure, it all depends.

Answer: Chin liposuction incisions There are two deposits of fat above and below the platysma muscle. Liposuction will only remove the fat component above the muscle. Surgery is required to remove the fat below the muscle. This is considered a neck lift in our practice, but there is no skin removal. A platysma plasty is required after the fat removal from underneath the muscle. Both procedures require a small incision underneath the chin and one behind the ear.
