Surgical liposuction secures a quick, pronounced and predictable result. Your face lines will become sharp and graceful, and the whole appearance will look fresh and light right in a single session (excluding the preparation).
The procedure is carried out under a local anesthesia. The plastic surgeon makes tiny incisions in the chin area to insert cannulas. Then a special solution is injected to soften and weaken adipose tissue. After that, fat accumulation is removed from all the surface of the targeted area.
You will be fitted with a special bandage or a chin strap to keep your skin tight within the following three days (unless otherwise indicated by your surgeon). Thereafter, you can take off your bandage, wait until complete healing and be happy with the result.
The procedure lasts about one hour.
