Neck and double chin liposuction in Berlin

I examine the area beneath the chin, the transitions at the sides and the profile. The location and extent of superficial fat are crucial when considering liposuction. Deeper tissue, glands, muscle anatomy and bone shape cannot simply be addressed by liposuction.

New swelling, a palpable lump or a change on one side is medically assessed first. It should not be hastily treated as a cosmetic double chin. Previous procedures and injections also form part of your medical history.

If there is significant skin laxity or visible platysmal bands, which are changes in the superficial neck muscle, surgical neck correction may be more suitable. It can be combined with a facelift, but is not automatically part of every facelift.

Renuvion can only be considered in selected cases and where the device-specific intended use is appropriate. It delivers energy invasively beneath the skin and carries its own thermal and other risks. Neither Renuvion nor liposuction promises the same effect as a comprehensive neck lift.

The jawline is the visible contour of the jaw between the chin and the ear. A recessed chin can make a double chin appear more pronounced, even when there is little fat. Removing more fat does not automatically resolve this relationship.

I discuss with you whether the main aim is less fullness, a different chin contour or a change in tissue position. Chin correction has its own suitability criteria and risks. It is not recommended simply because a particular profile photograph is brought along as a reference.

Small entry points may be planned beneath the chin or near the ears. I explain the planned locations, anaesthesia and extent of treatment. Whether and how they are stitched depends on the technique and wound condition; a fixed number of incisions does not suit every case.

Even small skin entry points leave scars. If a facelift or neck lift is added, further incisions around the ears, at the hairline or beneath the chin may be needed. Scars can become inconspicuous, but permanent invisibility is not promised.

Bruising, swelling, a feeling of tightness and temporarily altered sensation can occur. Suitable compression and head positioning are explained to you personally. You should not assume that a band which presses uncomfortably or is too tight is particularly effective.

Swelling limits how well early changes can be assessed. The contour develops over several months. Weight gain and further skin ageing can change it again later; neither liposuction nor a neck lift stops the ageing process.
