What Procedure Can Successfully Treat an Asymmetric Chin?

Many people are self-conscious about the asymmetry in their facial features, and the chin is one of the areas where these imbalances are frequently evident. Fortunately, improvements in cosmetic treatment, like chin liposuction in NYC, provide a practical way to address and fix asymmetry, giving you a balanced and harmonious facial appearance.

Correcting Chin Asymmetry with Chin Liposuction in NYC

Factors such as aging, lifestyle, and heredity can cause chin asymmetry. While some people may naturally have an uneven chin, others may experience asymmetry over time as a result of changes in skin elasticity, or weight fluctuations, or injuries. Whatever may be the reason, it can have a major effect on one’s facial harmony and overall facial beauty.

Chin liposuction is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that can help remove extra fat from the chin and neck region. This procedure has proved to be an effective means of treating chin asymmetry, apart from its reputation for contouring and reducing double chins. Knowledgeable plastic surgeons in NYC use cutting-edge cosmetic technology to accurately target and remove extra fat, sculpting a chin profile that is more symmetrical and balanced.

Chin Liposuction Using Smartlipo Triplex

A natural-looking contour can be achieved and stubborn fat removed safely and effectively with liposuction of the chin. In addition to removing extra fat under the chin, this laser liposuction procedure lifts sagging jowls, tones the area, and tightens the skin to create a well-defined jawline and chin.

The fat can be removed safely and effectively with the FDA-approved Smartlipo Triplex workstation. Its three potent laser wavelengths (1064 nm, 1320 nm, and 1440 nm) combine to tighten the skin, reduce extra fat, and bring back the chin’s original contour. Small skin incisions are created in order to introduce the device’s tiny cannula, which uses laser radiation to precisely target, dislodge, and melt extra fat so that it may be safely removed. ThermaGuide™ , ThermaView™, and SmartSense™ are the intelligent delivery systems of the device that provide regulated energy delivery and guard against overtreatment. Compared to standard chin liposuction treatment, Smartlipo laser liposuction features a shorter recovery period, and is more effective at removing fat and tightening the skin.

In addition to liposuction, our surgeon may recommend a chin tuck for patients with loose excess skin.

What to Expect after the Treatment

The initial healing phase after chin liposuction usually lasts a few days. Patients may have swelling in their necks and chins after this treatment. A head wrap may be recommended for patients undergoing submental liposuction to reduce swelling, relieve pressure under the chin, and aid in the skin’s conformity to the contours of the neck. Stay away from hard lifting, bending over, and other strenuous activities. Make sure ice is easily accessible to apply to the affected area and reduce swelling or inflammation. The ideal position for resting is on a reclining chair with the head at a 30° angle.

After roughly a week of treatment, the first effects of chin liposuction will be noticeable. At this stage, the patient’s chin will appear more proportionate to her eyes, cheeks, and other facial features, which results in improved facial harmony. After a few months, the full effects of chin liposuction become apparent. However, it’s crucial to understand that each patient may respond differently to this procedure.

Choose to have chin liposuction in NYC done at a plastic surgery facility that has received accreditation from the AAAASF. An accredited practice will have experienced plastic surgeons who are highly skilled and provide customized solutions. In order to treat your asymmetric chin and meet your cosmetic objectives, they will carefully evaluate your issues and provide the right course of treatment.
