Double Chin Surgery Bangalore
A double chin is an unfavourable condition that many people are concerned about. A number of factors can contribute to the excess volume in this area, including:
· Loose skin
· Excess fat
· Extraneous neck fat
· Small/ weak chin
· Salivary gland drooping
· Muscle weakness in platysma
It is usually a combination of these that causes a visible double chin, rather than just excess fat, as many people believe. Both men and women can suffer from double chins or submental fullness. Ageing is a major contributor, as we age, our skin loses elasticity, making it more prone to sagging. Some people are predisposed to developing submental fullness due to genetic factors. Weight gain can also have an impact and fat in this area is notoriously difficult to remove, even with chin exercise and dieting.
The visual appearance of a double chin can have a significant impact on confidence and frequently contributes to a person appearing older or heavier than they are.
Procedure:
Double chin surgery is done under general or local anaesthesia.
Pre operative assessment and essential markings are done, including the incision line. Photographs are taken.
Would take around 1.5 to 2 hrs.
Depending on the cause, procedure is planned. If only excess fat is the cause then liposuction would suffice. When there is loose skin and muscle weakness then an open procedure is required. An incision is made behind the chin crease , the excess fat removed, muscles tightened and excess skin excised. Drain maybe placed when required.
Side effects:
Swelling, hematoma, bruising, rarely marginal mandibular nerve injury.
Recovery:
Swelling subsides with time, ice packs help initially. A chin strap is expected to be worn at least for 2 weeks time to help with any swelling or collection and also give the shape. Nerve injury, usually in the mild form as neuropraxia can occur, which is managed conservatively and improves with time. Bruising takes two weeks to 1 month and subsides. Massage is advised after two weeks.
Results:
The contoured chin can be appreciated when dressing and plaster will be removed initially. The complete result is achieved when swelling subsides , which is around one month.
