Before the procedure itself, it is very important to have a personal consultation with the doctor who will suggest the most appropriate procedure. On the day of the procedure, it is advisable to wash your face and neck area thoroughly, not to use any cosmetic products and not to wear clothes with a tight collar. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia. It is recommended to take 2-3 days of rest after the procedure.
Double chin (submental fat) - accumulated fat under the chin causes the effect of the so-called double chin, it can be a genetic predisposition, a consequence of weight gain or natural aging, resulting in a "heavy" lower face that looks less defined.
Sagging skin and loss of the contours of the temple - with age, the elasticity of the skin decreases and a subtle "sagging" appears in the temple and neck area, the skin can look tired, the face loses its youthful firmness.
Blurred lines of the lower jaw and facial contours - a blurred border between the temple and neck can visually "enlarge" the face, a condition that is often not resolved by weight loss or exercise, as fat in this area is resistant to conventional methods.
- temple, chin and neck
This procedure is popular with patients who want to remove a double chin and firm sagging skin without the need for invasive surgery such as a facelift.
- If you suffer from mild to moderate loss of elasticity
- If you want natural rejuvenation without surgery
- If you are looking for a quick and effective intervention
It is not recommended especially for patients with significantly sagging and very loose skin, where a minimally invasive procedure might not have a sufficient effect - in such cases, a surgical lift is preferable. The procedure is also not suitable for people with serious medical conditions such as bleeding disorders, autoimmune diseases or active infections in the treatment area. The procedure cannot be performed during pregnancy and breastfeeding. A realistic expectation of results is also important.
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia. First, the excess fat is suctioned out. This immediately narrows the profile and eliminates the so-called double chin effect. A thread lift is then performed, in which absorbable lifting threads are inserted under the skin. This lifts and tightens the skin in the area of the temples and neck. The threads also stimulate collagen production, which gradually improves the skin in the following weeks.
The effect of the procedure is visible immediately and continues to improve over several weeks. The combination of liposuction and thread lifting achieves:
- significant slimming of the chin,
- lifting up and off the skin,
- restoration of sharp and elegant facial contours,
- overall younger and fresher appearance without the need for a surgical facelift.
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, which effectively numbs the treatment area. Most patients feel only mild pressure or traction during the procedure. After the anesthesia wears off, there may be mild tenderness, tightness, swelling or a slight tingling sensation in the skin, which is a natural part of healing and will subside within a few days. The sensation of pulling and tightening of the chin, with a slight prickling sensation with more vigorous movements, subsides within 5 - 7 days.
