I am scheduled for an in-office procedure in a few weeks for submental liposuction under my chin. I am 30, thin, and have had a double chin since childhood (runs in the family). Is Vaser Liposuction the right choice? How long will my recovery be and what will it look like? Any other questions I should ask my doctor? Particularly concerned about being presentable for work ~5 days post op
Answer: Chin Contouring & Recovery with VASER, ThermiRF Yes, I find that VASER liposuction in combination with ThermiRF are best for contouring the chin in those who are candidates. Most my patients are back at work 24-48 hours later, but I have them wear a chin strap for 3-5 days so they typically go back after that. I suggest seeing an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Vaser ultrasound liposuction to the neck/chin great procedure This can easily be done under local with a minimal recovery. It will permanently remove stubborn sub mental fat and tighten neck skin.An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon who performs these procedures is recommended to confirm you are a candidate as well as discuss your options and expectations.

Answer: Submental (chin) Vaser Liposuction- results and recovery? Vaser is a good adjunct to use with microcannula liposculpture of the neck. The recovery time will depend on the patient but typically by 5 days you should be able to go back to work. You likely will still have some residual swelling. At about the 7-10 day mark patients routinely feel small bumps/lumps which will be distressing but most if not all will resolve with time. The skin and neck will continue to improve for a period of 4-6 months depending on your skin caliber. I recommend wearing your compression garment as directed from your surgeon!Good luck!

Answer: The Recovery For Submental (chin) Vaser Liposuction Many studies indicate that there is less injury to the body with Vaser than with traditional #liposuction. Recovery from Vaser Liposuction is based on the level of soreness and bruising experienced by the patient. But, it can vary among patients. As with traditional liposuction, there are no large incisions or effect on the muscle and other underlying tissue. Therefore, #healing time may be less than anticipated by most. Healing, in general, can take up to one month for the majority of swelling to subside, incisions to close, sutures to come out, and for bruising to completely go away. Wearing a #compression garment may be suggested the first week and then nightly for up to six weeks. The swelling will also continue to diminish. So, you must be patient.

Answer: VASER for Submental Thanks for your question.The optimal procedure for the chin is VASER liposuction. In your case, the best procedure would be VASER along with J plasma in order to tighten the skin. In terms of recovery time, a properly done procedure should be 4 weeks in order to get back to work.For more information or questions, please consult a certified VASER specialist.
