Is Tumescent Chin Liposuction the Least Invasive Form of Chin Liposuction?

All chin liposuction is done with the infiltration of anesthetic and epinephrine containing fluid, "tumescent" referring to the increased amount of fluid used when the procedure is done under local anesthesia. In my practice I also use the Precision Tx laser which both melts the fat and tightens the skin. As we get older and the skin gets a little loose, this helps avoid the laxity which might otherwise occur with liposuction alone. This technique can also be done over the jowls. This is an intermediate procedure to help facial aging when the patient does not want a lower facelift.

Thank you for the question.

Incisions for chin liposuction surgery measure to 2-3  millimeters  and are usually placed behind the ears and/or under the chin.  This procedure is useful in treating small areas of diet and exercise resistant adipose tissue with overlying  skin that demonstrates adequate skin elasticity to retrace nicely.

I hope this helps.

 

The tiny openings are threw a needle stick only and so there are no scars at all with the micro cannula tumescent liposuction.  It is under local anesthesia and you can drive yourself home afterwards and back to work in 24 hrs without anyone knowing you had it done. Sincerely,
