As we age, the definition of the chin and jawline disappears due to looseness of the skin. Sometimes cosmetic surgery using only dermal fillers and/or anti- wrinkle treatmants will not give a satisfactory outcome.
Liposuction can improve the sagging by removing the excess fatty tissue that is causing the tissue to sag. This procedure corrects the looseness and gives more definition to the area, restoring a youthful jawline. Liposuction of the jawline is the simplest procedure and is done under local anaesthetic thus minimising complications and risks.
Liposuction procedures normally take approximately one hour plus time to recover from the anaesthetic.
