Chin lift is a cosmetic surgery that reduces the appearance of a double chin. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and takes about 30 minutes to an hour. The surgeon makes an incision under the chin and removes excess fat and tightens the muscles. The incision is then closed with stitches or staples.
The results of a chin lift can be dramatic, and can make the chin appear more defined and the neck appear more slender. However, it is important to note that a chin lift is not a permanent solution to aging, and the results will eventually fade over time.
Some of the benefits of chin lift include:
- Reduce the appearance of a double chin
- Improve the definition of the chin
- Give the neck a more slender appearance
Some of the risks of chin lift include:
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Uneven results
- Incision scars
- Numbness or tingling in the chin
If you are considering a chin lift, it is important to talk to a qualified plastic surgeon to discuss the risks and benefits of the procedure. You should also make sure that you are a good candidate for the procedure, which means that you have realistic expectations about the results.
