Double chin liposuction side effects

Double chin liposuction can suck out the excess fat from the chin and make the whole face look small and delicate, but there are certain hazards and side effects of doing chin liposuction, so you must pay special attention to the surgery and understand the pros and cons before deciding.

What are the side effects of double chin liposuction?

Swelling of the chin

After double chin surgery, due to the removal of excessive fat under the skin, the blood circulation will be disrupted and tissue fluid will leak out, causing the skin to grow blisters and swelling. This swelling usually disappears within 7 days, but if it does not subside normally, it may cause necrosis of the skin blisters, leaving unsightly scarring and affecting the aesthetics.

Abnormal sensation at the chin

After chin liposuction, local skin sensation may be abnormal, such as occasional numbness, pins and needles or ants walking sensation, etc. Normally, this sensation will disappear in 1-2 months. If it does not disappear, it means that the surgery may have side effects of nerve damage, and it is best to go to the hospital for consultation.

Uneven chin skin

Due to uneven liposuction or too much fat was sucked, localized skin unevenness may occur after chin liposuction. If it does not return to flatness 3 months after surgery, it is a side effect and may require a second surgical repair.

Surgical Infection

There is a certain risk of infection in chin surgery. If the surgical apparatus is not strictly sterilized or if there is inflammation itself, doing chin liposuction will undoubtedly cause infection or aggravate the inflammatory condition, so be sure to choose a regular hospital and inform the doctor of your condition truthfully.

Pressure bandage to avoid swelling

Due to the residual swelling fluid under the skin, there may be more oozing fluid on the day of surgery. If the dressing is permeated, you can apply pressure dressing with sterile gauze on top of the dressing. Be careful not to open the dressing yourself, just cover the dressing directly to avoid contaminating the wound.

Do not get wet for 5 days after surgery

Do not bathe or wash your hair for 3-5 days after liposuction to avoid infection caused by dirty water contamination of the wound.

Pay attention to rest after surgery

After surgery, you do not need to rest in bed all the time, you can take a walk and other light activities, but avoid strenuous aerobic exercise that will sweat, so as to avoid sweat soaking into the wound and causing infection and inflammation.

Choose a regular hospital
