 Chin sometimes appears with absolutely normal weight. It can be hereditary feature of the structure of the face and was already in his youth, in the absence of excess fat in the chin appears ugly fat fold. Often the chin appears in the process of aging and sagging facial soft tissues. In all of these cases, a liposuction.

What methods can be performed liposuction of the chin

Just as in the other parts of the body, the chin liposuction may be performed non-surgical and operating methods. Non-surgical methods are preferred at a young age, when stored tissue elasticity. In this case the skin after removal of the fat does not sag and is pulled under the influence of ultrasound, laser or radio waves.

Operating liposuction in the chin often held syringe, so there can not accumulate large amounts of fat. But it may also be conducted by any other method - using vacuum, ultrasound, laser or radio waves. In any case, such an operation more than help with the formation of the age double chin. Often it is combined with simultaneous lifting (tightening) of the lower third of the face and neck or circular face lift and neck lift - it all depends on the state of the patient's tissues. As a result of this operation is tightened oval face, removed the double chin, the skin becomes smoother and more youthful appearance.

Chin Liposuction - indications and contraindications

Liposuction chin shows:

  • - When a grease in this area with a normal or slightly elevated body weight;
  • - With congenital structural features of the face as chin appears in his youth;
  • - With omission of facial tissues in the process of aging and sagging chin with the accumulation of fat in this area.

Contraindicated chin liposuction at the general adiposity (it is recommended to the patient to lose weight), any diseases that violate the general condition of the patient, in violation of the integrity of the skin or skin diseases Skin diseases - what to do when violated the basic functions of the skin  Skin diseases - what to do when violated the basic functions of the skin
   at the site of the alleged effects. It is impossible to make such operations as during menstruation and while taking oral contraceptives (after the termination of their admission must be at least 15 days).

When non-surgical liposuction contraindications include severe liver disease and kidney with a violation of their function, pregnancy, bleeding disorders, the presence in the body of metal structures.

How is non-invasive liposuction of the chin

The method is based on the fact that under the influence of ultrasound, laser beam or radio waves going destruction of fat cells and their transformation into the fat emulsion. This emulsion permeates the intercellular space, then gradually displayed in a natural way - through the lymphatic system and the veins and. Thereafter the fat to the liver, it decomposes to metabolites and excreted.

Non-surgical liposuction procedure is performed on an outpatient basis and does not require anesthesia. To remove this manner, even a large amount of fat require one or two treatments.

For all types of impact (ultrasound, laser or radio waves) is just a devastating effect on adipose tissue, bone, cartilage and muscle tissue is not destroyed. A connective tissue in the skin (collagen and elastin fibers that form the skeleton of the skin) under the influence of such a reduced surface area of ​​the skin is reduced, that is non-invasive lifting occurs. The lifting effect is most evident when RFAL, least of all - in ultrasound.

But sometimes the types of non-surgical liposuction can produce complications. For example, non-invasive laser liposuction can cause burns on the skin surface.

How is the operating chin liposuction

Operating chin liposuction can be performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia. But if a patient simultaneously requires a face-lift, the anesthesia is most often general and the operation is performed in a hospital. During operation in the skin around the chin makes a small incision into which a cannula is inserted (through which suctioned fat). A method of crushing and extraction may vary from simple vacuum unit, or simply a syringe to the modern radio-frequency setting, which first destroys the fatty tissue and then removes it from the body, pulling at the same time the skin and stimulating the production of collagen and elastin proteins that make up collagen and elastin fibers of the skin. Therefore, radio lifting sometimes do not even need surgery for skin tightening.

A feature of liposuction is that fat in liposuction will never be delayed.
