Top Pre-Op Tips for Chin Liposuction

A double chin, the buildup of excess fat in the neck area, is a common aesthetic concern. Submental fullness is usually the result of factors such as aging, weight gain, genetics, and poor posture. The condition is difficult to address with just diet and exercise. Smartlipo chin liposuction in NYC is an ideal solution. The laser-assisted Smartlipo Triplex workstation removes unwanted fat beneath the chin and tightens the skin to improve the appearance of the neck and provide a well-defined jawline.

What Is Chin Liposuction?

The Smartlipo workstation used to perform laser liposuction in NYC is an FDA-approved device that utilizes three powerful laser wavelengths–1064nm, 1320nm and 1440nm. The procedure begins with your surgeon administering local anesthesia in the treatment areas (chin, jowls and/or neck). Once the area is numbed, the device’s cannula is inserted under the skin via a small incision. Laser energy is then delivered to those areas precisely to target and melt the excess fat so that it can be easily suctioned off. The unique intelligent delivery systems of the Smartlipo workstation – SmartSense™, ThermaGuide™ and ThermaView™ – allow for reliable and controlled energy delivery, which prevents overtreatment. Chin liposuction also simultaneously tightens the skin.

Pre- op Tips to Consider before Chin Liposuction

When performed by an expert surgeon, Smartlipo chin laser liposuction can provide attractive and effective outcomes. Though this minimally-invasive procedure involves significantly less downtime and faster recovery compared to traditional chin liposuction, following your surgeon’s pre-op tips is important to ensure smooth recovery and optimal, long-lasting outcomes. Here are some tips that can make chin liposuction in NYC a comfortable and productive experience:

• Get a complete medical evaluation and laboratory testing from your primary care physician. Ensure that these preoperative steps are completed 2 weeks before your procedure.
• Two weeks before the date of your surgery, fix a pre-op appointment with your surgeon to review the treatment plan.
• Depending on your job, make arrangements to take a few days off from work.
• Stop smoking for at least 4 weeks prior to the surgery, as smoking can affect wound healing, lead to longer healing time, and cause scarring.
• Stop alcohol consumption at least one week prior to the surgery.
• Avoid these medications
• Aspirin
• Ibuprofen
• Naproxen
• Motrin
• Blood thinners
• Vitamin E
• Omega-3
• Fish oil
• Herbal supplements
• Keep track of the medications you take to avoid any confusion later.
• Keep everything you need handy and stock essential things (medical supplies, compression garment, pillows, blankets, books, television, and anything else to assist with a comfortable recovery) that you would need following the procedure.
• Get plenty of rest, avoid unnecessary stress and stay calm.
• If you have facial hair, remove it before your procedure.
• Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes.
• Before the procedure, remove jewelry and all piercings.
• On the day of the surgery, avoid makeup, cosmetic creams, hair products, deodorant and sunscreen. If you wear contact lenses, remove them.
• Have someone accompany you to and from the surgical center.
• Arrange for a responsible person to help with your household chores and other activities.
