Chin Lipo to Re-Contour Your Face After Weight Loss

A large weight loss can be a life changing journey, and chin lipo can help re-contour the outline of your face to complete your transition to your brand new image.

In today's modern society, our easy access to convenience and processed foods, and our lack of time to spend preparing meals from scratch has led to weight gain right across the population. With our more sedentary lifestyles we are having to work harder to keep our weight down. Is it any wonder at the proliferation of gyms and weight loss clinics springing up on every street corner.

The thing is, once we have put in the effort and the extra unhealthy weight is gone, often you're left with stubborn pockets of fat on your face and body that simply won't shift, no matter what you do. Tummy tucks and buttock lifts are very common procedures - but what about the more delicate parts of the body, like the face? Your facial profile can be so important to your general appearance, and to be left with sagging jowls can really be a downer after you've lost all of that weight.

Thankfully though, with the advent of modern methods like Vaser liposelection and Smartlipo laser lipo, careful re-sculpting of the chin area and other small delicate areas are becoming more popular.

Vaser liposelection and Smartlipo laser lipo use tiny cannulas, this makes them perfect for re-contouring the jaw line and under the chin area. As these areas are so small, the procedure is usually completed under local anesthetic only, which is great if you're sensitive to general anesthesia. As a result of this, you can go home the same day as the lipo in most cases. If you're a busy parent - or someone who can't take a lot of time off work - this is a really excellent advantage.

Since the cannulas are so small, scars can be kept to a minimum. The incisions are placed just under the chin where they would be difficult to see anyway. Facial liposuction of any kind is a delicate procedure, so the smaller cannulas are very useful in that respect also. Bruising is minimal, but you will need to wear a compression garment for a few days after to aid healing and ensure the skin remains smooth post-liposuction.

As the small amount of swelling goes away, the results often improve exponentially. With the help of the compression garment, the skin will usually shrink back to accommodate its new contour, leaving you with a newly re-contoured jaw-line after your chin lipo.

The beautiful shape your face was meant to have becomes apparent and it really can change the way you look dramatically - for the better. Altogether, the end effect of having chin lipo is that your bone structure will almost immediately show itself to the world.
