After crossing the age threshold of 40 years, many people face aesthetic problems in appearance. The essence of them is that with age the areas of the human body undergo undesirable changes. Such changes cause moral discomfort and deprive a person of self-confidence. Chin liposuction — is a quick and reliable way to get rid of the problem area and the accompanying moral discomfort.
Treatment in Germany, which requires special attention of a plastic surgeon, includes the neck and chin. These areas form the lower contour of the face, so folds, fat deposits in the chin and neck area, cause a tangible blow to the ego of many people, giving away their true age. Fortunately, plastic medicine has long ago learned to effectively combat this problem with the help of surgical and other methods of treatment in Germany.
CAUSES OF THE SECOND CHIN
The first reason lies in the weakening (due to age) of the skin’s ability to maintain turgor, which reduces its elasticity. The skin in the chin-neck transition area stretches and sags, and fat deposits accumulate in the free space.
The second reason is excessive weight. In this case, the second chin can be formed in young people who do not yet suffer from a violation of metabolic processes in the skin.
And the last reason is heredity.
SURGICAL TECHNIQUE
The neck area includes many vascular and neuromuscular bundles that are often damaged during surgery, however, liposuction of the chin is a completely safe surgical procedure. Complications from the surgery develop in rare cases, and the cosmetic effect is preserved for a long time.
In the early days of plastic surgery, the tumescent method was used. Its essence was the introduction of a special solution that destroys fat cells. Further, through cannulas, the liquefied tissue was pumped out by vacuum. In modern medicine, the vacuum method of liposuction of the chin is not used.
Laser and radiofrequency liposuction are less traumatic methods. It also involves the destruction of fatty tissue, but with the help of laser and radiofrequency radiation. The fatty tissue is heated to the required temperature and pumped out. In addition, the above-mentioned types of radiation have the property to stimulate the synthesis of collagen. The elasticity of the skin is increased, the facial oval becomes tightened, clearly defined. This additional lifting effect is one of the advantages of laser and radio wave liposuction of the chin.
Side effects and complications after surgery develop due to an increase in the internal temperature of the tissue. Burns, swelling and soreness subside during the rehabilitation period. To completely eliminate the possibility of complications, special devices have been developed to measure the internal temperature of the tissue during surgery.
STEPS OF OPERATION
Chin liposuction usually lasts about half an hour. The doctor chooses the method of anesthesia on an individual basis. A minor cosmetic defect can be eliminated under local anesthesia. For more significant interventions, general anesthesia is used.
Surgical access options:
Access for the cannulas is made in the area of the ear lobes. In this way, the fat tissue can be removed. In case of extensive spreading of fat, access is made under the jaw. The incisions are sutured with cosmetic sutures, which leave practically no traces during healing.
Oral access is also possible. The advantage is that there are no marks on the skin, but there is an increased risk of postoperative inflammation.
RECOVERY PERIOD
In the postoperative period, the patient must wear a tight elastic bandage. Compression of tissues prevents the development of edema and provides prevention of postoperative bleeding. Sutures are removed a few days after the intervention.
The patient is given certain recommendations:
- For several weeks after chin liposuction, you should sleep with your head in an elevated position. This prevents the formation of folds in the neck area.
- It is recommended to wear a compression bandage around the clock, which helps to consolidate the lifting effect after liposuction of the chin.
- Avoid significant physical activity for 2 weeks, as liposuction of the chin is a surgical operation, and it is necessary to let the body recover from it.
- Due to the possible development of inflammation, you should protect yourself from hypothermia.
- Do not visit the pool, beach and bath for 2 weeks.
- To avoid pain and tissue damage, it is recommended to exclude solid foods from the diet.
- In the case of surgical intervention through the oral cavity — the surgical site should be treated with antiseptic, as well as adhere to a diet that excludes solid foods, spicy, salty dishes.
The result of the operation is evaluated after one month. Postoperative neck swelling subsides within a few days. However, the skin needs more time to adapt to the changes. The lifting effect will be achieved within 3-5 months after surgery.
At the same time, the facial oval becomes tightened, the contours are clear, without folds. Liposuction of the chin provides the effect for more than 10 years. If the patient will observe the correct daily regimen, lead a healthy lifestyle, adhere to a diet and exercise, the result will last much longer. With the complex application of cosmetic procedures and manual therapy, the visual effect is more pronounced.
SOME FEATURES OF LIPOSUCTION
Before carrying out the liposuction procedure, the doctor assesses the individual characteristics of each patient. Age plays a huge role, as it directly affects the condition of the skin, metabolic disorders in it. Information about the tone of muscle tissue of the face and neck, the amount of accumulated fatty tissue will allow the doctor to determine the amount of surgical intervention. In mild cases will be enough one liposuction of the chin. In severe cases, the doctor will apply a complex treatment.
Features of the choice of the volume of surgical intervention:
- Age less than 40 years, preserved skin turgor and elasticity, small deposits of fat tissue — simple liposuction of the chin is most effective.
- In the case of fat deposits in the cheek area of a patient aged less than 40 years, it is necessary to apply a complex method — evacuation of fat from the chin, elimination of Bisch lumps, lipofilling. This method will tighten the second chin, reduce the volume of the cheeks, and fatty tissue will be distributed along the contour of the face.
- Patients over 40 years of age cannot do without complex intervention. In their skin and muscles there are age-related metabolic disorders. In this case, plastic surgeons perform fat removal from the chin, lipofilling and neck elevator — platysmoplasty, circular face and neck elevator, lower face elevator.
