General information
How to remove a double chin surgically?
First of all, it is necessary to understand the patient's initial wishes. At your initial consultation, you will discuss with your surgeon the details of your appearance that you do not like and determine what changes you would like to see after surgery.
Modern technologies allow us to create a computer image based on the specifications you have drawn up. This does not guarantee anything, but at the same time, visualization helps you and the doctor come to a common vision of the expected result.
Contraindications
For chin surgery to be successful and without consequences, it is necessary to take into account a number of medical restrictions. These include:
- Diseases of the cardiovascular system
- Infections and inflammation
- Pathologies associated with metabolic disorders
- Oncological diseases
In addition, until the age of 23, the facial skeletal system continues to develop. Therefore, surgery is not performed at a young age.
Diagnostic features
The next step is diagnosis. It includes:
- Computed tomography (CT) of the skull. This helps the doctor better see the bone structure of the face and determine the best course of action
- Laboratory tests. The client will have to undergo general and biochemical blood tests, as well as be tested for HIV, syphilis and hepatitis. This is necessary to determine the general state of health
- Coagulogram. This analysis allows you to clarify how well the blood clots
- General urine analysis. It helps ensure that the client does not have any kidney problems
- Electrocardiogram (ECG). This study allows you to clarify the condition of the heart
If a combined operation is being considered (for example, mentoplasty in combination with rhinoplasty), the doctor will refer the client for additional studies - for example, rhinomanometry.
Features of rehabilitation
After surgery, the patient spends the first 24-48 hours in a medical facility. This allows you to monitor his condition and promptly respond to possible complications.
In the first week after discharge, it is recommended to refrain from physical activity and include mainly cereals, purees and soups in the diet. If the operation was performed through the oral cavity, after eating it is necessary to regularly treat the surgical site with antiseptics.
The recovery period depends on age, individual reactions of the body and the complexity of the procedure. On average it is 14 days.
The final stage of rehabilitation is a follow-up visit to the doctor. During the visit, the specialist examines the surgical area for complications, assesses the quality of healing and the result of the surgical intervention. The doctor also performs diagnostic procedures if necessary and gives the patient recommendations for further care.
Complications after mentoplasty
After mentoplasty, some patients experience temporary complications such as hematomas, swelling or mild pain. These phenomena disappear on their own during the rehabilitation period. However, failure to follow medical instructions leads to local inflammation. In addition, against the background of too active movements, displacement of the implant is observed.
Serious complications caused by surgeon errors include the risk of infection and nerve damage. That is why it is strongly recommended that you initially contact experienced and trusted specialists.
Surgery process
The duration of the operation depends on the chosen method. For example, correction of fat deposits takes about 30–40 minutes, while implantation and lipofilling require a longer time - up to 2 hours. The most complex and time-consuming process is reduction plastic surgery. It lasts up to 2.5 hours.
Double chin removal surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia accompanied by sedation. However, in some cases, depending on the extent of the surgery, general anesthesia is used.
The doctor then decides where to make a small incision: on the inside of the lower lip, or in the area under the chin. This stage depends on the chosen technique and prior agreement with the patient.
During the first hours after surgery, the patient is under the supervision of an anesthesiologist. After this, he is escorted to a comfortable room for rest and recovery.
Stages of surgery:
- Implant installation To ensure stability and prevent it from moving, mini screws are used
- Suturing the wound Absorbable sutures are used for this
- Installation of a fixation bandage This is required to maintain results and reduce swelling
