Dreading the scarring process after chin liposuction? You are among many. If you want to get rid of excess fat under the chin and have a slimmer and stronger jaw, this is crossing your mind: “Does chin liposuction cause scarring?” Being a question most people ask in consultation at Royal Cosmetic Surgery & Transplant Clinic Islamabad, thankfully, chin liposuction usually ends with very tiny scars that nobody sees. And that’s the lot you’d know before arriving at a choice.
What Is Chin Liposuction?
It is a cosmetic procedure in which a small thin cannula is inserted into the chin to eliminate excess fat. It is a minimally invasive procedure performed under local or general anesthesia according to the patient’s preference. It makes your chin and jaw look more defined.
Does chin liposuction leave scars?
Yes, but they’re tiny and fade with time. Scars do occur, but they are very small, subtle, and heal wonderfully. At Royal Cosmetic Clinic Islamabad, we make tiny cuts (only 2–3 mm) in hidden places, most commonly under the chin or behind the ears. These tiny entry points are where we insert the cannula.
Here’s what you can expect:
- Size of incision: Less than 0.5 cm
- Location: Hidden in natural folds or under the chin
- Healing time: 1-2 weeks
- Visibility: Faint to a large degree within a matter of months
These scars, in most cases, are hardly noticeable, especially if operated on by experienced surgeons.
Why Is Scarring Minimal in Chin Lipo?
- Tiny cuts: Unlike large surgeries, chin liposuction is characterized by micro-cuts.
- Positioning of cuts: We cut where they’re least noticeable.
- Advanced procedures: Advanced, minimally invasive procedures are performed in our clinic.
- Good aftercare: We guide you through scar-reducing aftercare procedures.
How to Minimize Scars After Chin Lipo
Want to reduce scarring even further? Here’s how you can aid in the better healing of your skin:
- Obey post-op instructions: Keep it clean and dry.
- Avoid touching or scratching: Let it heal naturally.
- Wear your compression garment: It minimizes swelling and helps skin tighten.
- Use doctor-recommended scar creams: We’ll suggest the best ones for your skin type.
- Stay hydrated and eat well: Proper nutrition boosts healing.
- Protect from sun exposure: Use SPF to prevent darkening of scars.
Are the Results Permanent?
Yes, the fat that is eliminated in chin lipo is irreversible. As long as you maintain your weight at a healthy level, your chiseled chin will stay in proportion. And no scar won’t develop or become more apparent with the passage of time if taken care of. In fact, most of our patients report they can’t even locate the scars a few months on.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Chin Liposuction?
You could be a candidate if:
- You have a double chin or puffy fat below your chin
- You have good elasticity of the skin
- You are in overall good health
- You desire a quick and effective solution
If you have very loose skin or other issues, it is suggested to have lipo combined with skin tightening or a neck lift.
