Neck liposuction involves manually removing fat tissue via small incisions, which are placed underneath the chin and behind the ears. The good news is that neck liposuction almost never leaves a scar because Dr. Farole places the incision in a strategic position and closes it meticulously.
Do scars from Lipo go away?
If you do have scarring from liposuction it will most likely appear as a small dot about the size of a freckle. In most cases, a scar this size will fade slowly over the next six months until it is no longer noticeable. In some cases, you may have hyperpigmentation at the incision site.
How long does chin lipo bruising last?
Some individuals swell quite easily and benefit from applying additional ice until the swelling subsides. For other patients, the total recovery time from chin liposuction can be two weeks. However, most discomfort and bruising will disappear after several days.
How long does it take for chin lipo incision to heal?

How long should I wear compression garment after chin lipo?
The chin/face wrap should be snug but not too tight. The wrap should be worn continuously for 24-72 hours and then at night for 7-10 days. You may temporarily remove the wrap to shower after the first day. This wrap will compress your skin, help minimize bruising, and control drainage.
How much does Lipo on chin cost?
The average cost can range from $1,200 to $1,800 per treatment. If you need several treatments, chin liposuction may be less costly. Results are considered permanent because the fat cells are destroyed.
Does skin tighten after lipo?
While liposuction can do a lot to sculpt the body, one thing it cannot do is tighten the skin. This is an important aspect of body contouring because, without adequate consideration and planning, a person’s skin may look loose and saggy after their liposuction procedure.
Can chin lipo go wrong?
While liposuction infections are rare, they can be serious and leave permanent marks on your face. Some infections include cellulitis, staphylococcal abscesses, and mycobacterial infections, which may need to be treated both with medication and surgery, resulting in scarring.
Will my double chin come back after lipo?
Some patients experience swelling and bruising after the treatment, but these side effects resolve 10-14 days after the procedure. The results will be immediate and permanent. Because fat typically accumulates where fat cells already exist, you don’t have to worry about your double-chin coming back.
What happens if I don’t wear compression garment after chin lipo?
If you do not wear your garment, you may find that your recovery time takes longer. You will also experience a shorter recovery time if you wear your chin liposuction compression garment. This is because wearing your garment will increase blood flow and encourage healthy tissue to grow.
Does fat come back after chin lipo?
Fat will not return (and ideal results will remain intact) if the patient maintains their “post-lipo weight.” For example, if a patient weighed 130 pounds prior liposuction and had a total of 6 pounds removed through the procedure, fat will stay away if the patient maintains their weight at or below 124 pounds.
Why does my liposuction scar look so bad?
When scarring does occur, it can be the result of poor incision placement during the liposuction procedure. Hyperpigmentation, another side effect of liposuction, can also cause the incision to look more prominent on your skin after it heals.
What is Chin liposuction?
Chin liposuction — also called submental liposuction or “chin lipo” — is a minimally-invasive surgical technique that suctions excess fat from the chin, neck, and jawline (the cause of a double chin). It is one of the many minimally-invasive procedures we offer safely here at our office under local anesthesia.
Are there less invasive alternatives to liposuction for body scars?
Scars that form during the healing process after typical liposuction are unlikely to require a surgical procedure to correct them. There are some less invasive alternatives to liposuction that promise similar results with a lower risk of scarring. People usually refer to these procedures as “noninvasive body contouring.”
