Submental Liposuction Before And After
View before and after photos of submental liposuction patients who have been treated by best plastic surgeons. Submental liposuction is a plastic surgery aimed at correcting aesthetic defects of tissues by removing excessive subcutaneous fat. Such interventions are shown when a patient with a slender face in the neck region has an uneven distribution of fat mass, resulting in a cosmetic defect requiring removal.
Thus, the main indications for submental liposuction are as follows:
– Accumulation of fat in this area at normal weight;
– an individual feature of the structure of the face, when the second chin appears in a relatively young age (hereditary predisposition);
– age-related changes in the chin, the typical manifestation of which is ptosis (sagging) of tissues.
For operations not allowed patients with:
- A violation of blood coagulability;
- skin diseases of various etiologies (chin area);
- Severe pathologies of internal organs;
- Diseases of the cardiovascular system.
Pregnant women should refrain from submental liposuction. Taking into account the need for a course of antibiotics after any surgical intervention, it is recommended to abandon the operation even during breastfeeding. Substances coming through milk into the body of the child can harm him.
Before operation
Preoperative preparation is to eliminate factors that may adversely affect the outcome of the operation and the end result. Bleeding of tissues can intensify against the background of menstrual bleeding, therefore, correction can not be carried out on the eve or during menstruation.
In addition, approximately two weeks before surgery, it is recommended to stop the use of hormonal contraceptives and drugs, which include acetylsalicylic acid. Smoking should also be avoided in order to avoid excessive tissue scarring, since nicotine has a depressing effect on blood microcirculation.

Submental liposuction is performed under local anesthesia. The duration of the operation is determined by the volume of surgical manipulations and, as a rule, does not exceed 20 minutes. First, the surgeon marks the places of future incisions on the skin with a felt-tip pen.
Then, to ensure spasm of blood vessels, infiltration of adipose tissue is carried out, for which a solution of lidocaine with adrenaline is usually used. The removal of fat takes place through the cannula, which is inserted into the incisions not more than one and a half centimeters long, made on the skin in places of natural folds.
After the operation, cosmetic sutures are applied, the wounds are closed with special bactericidal stickers.
Postoperative period involves wearing a compression bandage. The experience of a plastic surgeon can reduce such complications as: bleeding, bruising, breaking the contour of the skin, developing seals to a minimum.
