Liposuction: Reshaping Your Body, Enhancing Your Confidence

At WIH Hospital, we understand that achieving your ideal body contour can sometimes be challenging, even with a healthy lifestyle. Liposuction is a surgical procedure designed to remove localized excess fat that is resistant to diet and exercise. Our skilled and experienced plastic surgeons utilize advanced techniques to help you achieve a more defined, proportionate, and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

What is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure that involves the targeted removal of subcutaneous fat (unwanted fat cells). It is not a weight-loss solution for obesity but rather a body sculpting technique intended to improve the contours and proportions of specific areas.

Under Chin Liposuction (Submental Liposuction) at WIH Hospital

 

Under Chin Liposuction is a minimally invasive surgical procedure specifically designed to remove localized fat from the area under the chin. By targeting these stubborn fat cells, the procedure aims to create a sharper, more defined angle between the jawline and neck, enhancing overall facial harmony.

 

Who is a Candidate for Under-Chin Liposuction?

 

  • Presence of Excess Submental Fat: Individuals bothered by localized fat deposits under the chin and upper neck that create the appearance of a double chin.
  • Psychological Stability: Candidates should be emotionally prepared for a surgical procedure and the subsequent recovery period.

 

     Comprehensive Personalized Consultation for Under Chin Liposuction

     

  • Your journey at WIH Hospital begins with a comprehensive, personalized consultation with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons. During this consultation, we will discuss your specific concerns and what you expect to achieve with under-chin liposuction.
  • The surgeon will evaluate the submental area, assessing the amount and distribution of fat, skin quality, and underlying bone structure.
  • The procedure can often be performed under local anesthesia with oral or intravenous sedation. In some cases, or if combined with other procedures, general anesthesia may be recommended.

  • Abstain from smoking and alcohol as instructed.
