The application of vacuum under controlled conditions to various parts of the body has developed into a very useful tool for body contouring in the field of aesthetic medicine. This technique is not new. It was first brought to America in the late 70s and early 80s.
Over time this method of body contouring has become much more sophisticated and reliable in the right hands. Muscle and bone with some exceptions do not usually age visibly. Aging bones manifest themselves in a variety of ways including posture and on x-rays.
Fat throughout the body can become unsightly, particularly in the neck, jawline, abdomen, hips, and legs. Liposuction applied to these areas can be a very useful tool to improve appearance. Fat under the chin and along the jaw line in limited cases can be liposuction successfully, improving contour and appearance. If, however fat in these areas is accompanied by sagging skin in the cheeks and neck then a full face and neck lift along with the fat contouring may be indicated.
Chin Liposuction
Liposuction is one of those procedures that many different types of doctors perform. The most experienced and trained practitioners in my opinion are plastic surgeons. These men and women offer in my opinion the safest and best option for liposuction and all cosmetic facial and body procedures.
Complications created by untrained practitioners utilizing liposuction can be difficult and challenging to correct. Therefore, you must choose your best surgeon initially. And do not make your decision strictly on price. Often liposuction can be successfully performed in conjunction with surgical procedures to create the best result.
So, the answer is yes, in certain circumstances, and the correct hands, liposuction of the chin and jowls can be a very successful tool to improve facial appearance.
