CHIN/NECK LIPOSUCTION GOLD COAST

Chin/Neck Liposuction

What Does This Procedure Do?

Chin/Neck liposuction is a targeted cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess fat under the chin. By precisely targeting localised fat deposits, this surgery changes the jawline and facial balance.

What Does This Procedure Not Do?

Chin/Neck liposuction is not a solution for weight loss or a substitute for a healthy lifestyle. It is specifically tailored to address localised pockets of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. It is important to have realistic expectations; while this procedure can change the appearance of your neck and chin, it cannot address issues such as compromised skin or muscle laxity, these concerns are usually treated with face or neck lift surgery (rhytidectomy or platysmaplasty).

Who is an Ideal Candidate?

A good candidate for chin/neck liposuction is an individual who is near their goal body weight but has fat deposits under the chin. Candidates should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcome of the procedure. Liposuction is most suitable for patients with good skin elasticity, as the skin needs to contract smoothly after fat removal.

Recovery, Garments, and Pricing

Chin/Neck liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure with a relatively quick recovery time. Many patients experience mild swelling and bruising, which typically subside within a few weeks. Dr. Hertess recommends wearing a post-operative compression garment full time for the first week, followed by nightly use for the subsequent five weeks. This garment supports the healing process and helps maintain the newly sculpted contours.

As for pricing, this procedure is considered cosmetic and is tailored to each individual's unique needs. A consultation with Dr. Hertess is essential to determine the exact cost based on the complexity of the case and desired results. During the consultation, all aspects of the procedure, including the expected outcomes, recovery process, and costs, will be thoroughly discussed to ensure clarity and transparency.
