Submental Liposuction for Enhanced Facial Contour

Do you wish you could rejuvenate and reshape your facial contour and neck area without surgery? This is possible at Sunset Cosmetic Surgery! Our renowned double board-certified facial plastic surgeons, Dr. Steven Svehlak and Dr. Daniel Yamini, utilize advanced ultrasound-assisted liposuction technology in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, to provide patients with stunning results.

What is Submental Facial Contouring?

Submental facial contouring, often referred to as the “knife-less lower facelift,” is a minimally invasive ultrasound-assisted submental liposuction treatment using ultrasound fat reduction methods, designed to enhance the contours of the neck, chin, and jowls. This innovative treatment is ideal for individuals seeking a more defined and youthful appearance in the lower facial region. It’s especially effective for those with loose skin along the lower face and neck.

Am I a Candidate?

Ideal candidates for facial contouring with ultrasound-assisted lipo are healthy individuals seeking a rejuvenated lower facial appearance and enhanced neck and chin contours without extensive surgery. This innovative procedure is suitable for those with loose skin along the lower face and neck.

The Procedure

Performed in the comfort of our Beverly Hills office, submental liposuction is a quick and straightforward procedure that typically takes less than 60 minutes. Here’s an overview of what to expect:

  1. Numbing Medication: We start by injecting numbing medication under the skin to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
  2. Ultrasound Technology: Dr. Svehlak and Dr. Yamini use advanced ultrasound-assisted liposuction with the VASER technique. This specialized approach utilizes a precise ultrasound probe, carefully inserted beneath the skin. The technology is multifaceted: it efficiently liquefies targeted fat cells, encourages collagen production, and aids in the tightening of the adjacent tissues.

    Results and Expectations

    With VASER liposuction for submental fat removal, initial changes can be noticed shortly after the procedure, thanks to the precise removal of fat and initial tissue contraction. However, the full results, including optimal skin tightening and contour refinement, unfold over some time. Typically, patients can expect to see the complete outcomes within three to six months post-treatment, as the body continues to produce collagen and the skin adjusts to the new facial profile.

    Recovery is relatively quick, with most patients able to resume their normal activities within a few days. It is recommended to wear a compression garment, specifically a chin strap, for about one to two weeks post-procedure. This helps to minimize swelling and supports the healing tissues as they adjust to their new contours.

    Risks and Side Effects

    While submental liposuction, or non-surgical neck fat removal, is generally well-tolerated and safe, it’s essential to be aware of potential side effects. Patients may experience mild bruising, temporary swelling, or redness, which typically resolve within a week. It’s essential to discuss any concerns with your surgeon to ensure a safe and satisfying experience.
