Smart Liposuction Chin & Neck - Pasadena, CA

ORIGINAL POST

1st day of my Micro Liposuction of the Chin &...

WORTH IT$1,500

1st day of my Micro Liposuction of the Chin & Neck. Absolutely worth! Local anesthesia was the most painful part of it all, only part that I felt was from the actual procedure... the movement of the suction. Procedure took just about 60 minutes. There was minimal bruising. Ice packs on every couple of hours for 20 minutes (helped alot) & Tylenol. I was well educated by my doctor & this forum (that is why I am sharing my experience). ps WEAR YOUR CHIN STRAP!!!

Provider has worked with over 20+ years in Plastic Surgery with no malpractice. His Healthgrade scores are primarily 10. He offered a free consultation, during the initial consultation he spent close to an hour understanding what my goals were, what was realistic, and explaining the procedure in detail. An added bonus, the staff was amazing from the receptionist to the office manager, to my rockin nurse who made sure that I had everything I needed.

Thank you for your kind comments.
Hey i am considering this - how many incisions did they make, has it left any scars?
I had a total of 3 incisions: one on each side of where the jaw line meets the ear & one below the chin. I am on day 6, sutures come out tomorrow. I will take a picture and post tomorrow when the sutures come out. ps (No one has noticed the sutures, they where placed nicely).
Thanks that would be really helpful.
I am just at the 6 week mark, honestly where the 3 incision sites are... they don't show in the pictures.
I found this video on youtube, which gently goes over smartlipo (copy and paste to browser)

Hello! Im considering having this done at Athenix. I have had previous surgeries and they were great! Thank you for posting your results. :)
Your very welcome. I believe in sharing the knowledge. I'm looking forward to doing my arms next!
Your photos look fab. I had my procedure yesterday...feeling a little sore, not too bad. Chin strap feels like it is choking me! :)
Chin strap is your BFF for now, wear it 24/7 until the doctor clears you (no more than 2 hours off a day). Remember to ice your face every 2 hours for 20 minutes for the first few days, this will help with your bruising. Sleep also at an angle (pillows) to help with the healing process.You might have some bruising at the base of your neck. This is from the fluid/medication during the procedure. So worth it, I'm 42 years old... I have to show my ID to get into the bar now. Next stop is smartlipo of the arms. Good Luck!
Just checking in on you, how are you doing?... you are just at the 2 week mark!
Thanks for your message! So far so good, no problems at all. May have liked a little more fat gone, but maybe I'm still a bit swollen :) your results look amazing...
You are still swollen, it gets better!!! I am still noticing changes at 2 months!
