What is Jowl Liposuction?

Jowl liposuction is the process of removing excess fat tissue accumulated in the under-chin area through thin cannulas. Today, it is frequently preferred aesthetically by both women and men. The jawline becomes indistinct over time due to genetic predisposition, aging, weight gain or the effect of gravity, and this can cause both physical and psychological discomfort.

Sagging and fat accumulation in the jowl area negatively affects the youthful and dynamic appearance of the face. For this reason, the question of “what is double chin liposuction ” has become one of the main topics that many people interested in aesthetics research.

Liposuction procedure gives successful results not only in body parts but also around the face; it has an important place in aesthetic surgery in terms of clarifying the jaw line and balancing facial proportions. According to the 2023 data of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), facial liposuction procedures have increased by 12% among all plastic surgery procedures. This increase is associated with the increased importance given to “profile aesthetics”, especially with the effect of social media.

How is Jowl Liposuction Performed?

The double chin liposuction procedure is performed by an experienced plastic surgeon under sterile operating room conditions and usually under local anesthesia. The aim of this procedure is to make the patient’s facial contour more prominent by removing excess fat tissue accumulated under the chin and in the neck area.

• Our priority is to make a detailed evaluation according to the patient’s facial proportions, jawline structure and the amount of fat accumulation in the jowl area.
• Skin elasticity is measured and it is analyzed whether there will be skin sagging after the procedure.
• The patient’s medical history and chronic conditions, if any, are taken into consideration before the procedure.
• A patient-specific liposuction plan is prepared. If necessary, the result can be previewed with digital 3D simulations before the procedure.
• The type of anesthesia is determined. Although local anesthesia is generally preferred, sedation can also be applied in some patients.
• Blood tests and, if necessary, anesthesia approval are taken before the procedure.
• On the day of the procedure, local anesthesia is applied to the under-chin area.
• The patient is awake but does not feel pain or discomfort.
• Mild sedatives may also be given to increase comfort during the procedure.
• In the area under the chin, small incisions of 3-4 mm are usually made.
• These incisions are hidden in the natural skin lines and carefully positioned to avoid scarring.
• Entry points are isolated with sterile drapes.
• With thin and flexible cannulas, excess fat tissues in the jowl area are vacuumed out.
• Fat removal is performed in a balanced way; special techniques are applied to avoid asymmetry between the two sides.
• If necessary, laser or ultrasonic assisted systems can also be used during the procedure (such as Vaser, SmartLipo).
• The jaw line is reshaped after fat removal.
• Controls are made until a symmetrical and natural appearance is achieved.
• If intervention is required in areas that are over- or under-taken, it is performed immediately.
• Because the cannula ports are very small, sutures are usually not required or thin self-melting sutures are used.
• The areas covered with sterile tapes heal completely within 5-7 days.
• After the procedure, a special face corset is worn on the patient.
• This corset reduces the formation of edema and helps the skin to adapt to the new contour.
• It is usually recommended to wear it for at least 8-10 hours a day, for 1 week.
• The first check is performed 3-5 days after the procedure.
• Any stitches are removed and the healing process is evaluated.
• The process is supported with patient-specific recommendations (cold application, sleeping position, skin care, etc.).
• Within the first 1 week, swelling decreases and the new jawline becomes visible.
• The real results settle in 4-6 weeks; the skin tightens over time and takes on a natural appearance.
• The procedure gives lasting results, but in the long term it should be supported by healthy living habits.

With this procedure, excess fat tissue is permanently removed and facial contours become more prominent. However, people who prefer non-surgical methods, double chin melting can also achieve satisfactory results with the application. As Dr. Elvan Bayraktar Clinic, we perform our procedures with the most up-to-date techniques and by prioritizing patient safety.

How Permanent Is Jowl Lipolysis?

Jowl lipolysis is a non-surgical procedure applied to dissolve excess regional fat. It is generally preferred as an alternative to liposuction. This method is based on the principle that the fat accumulated in the jowl area is broken down by injection and excreted by the body over time. Jowl lipolysis can give very successful results in terms of permanence, but it should be noted that this depends on some conditions.

First of all, the patient’s general lifestyle, diet and weight control directly affect the permanence after the procedure. Because while some of the fat cells are destroyed by lipolysis, the remaining cells can expand again with excessive weight gain. Therefore, the answer to the question “is double chin lipolysis permanent?” may vary according to personal factors.

According to our clinical observations, 80% of patients who undergo jowl lipolysis maintain their results for at least 2 years after the procedure. More permanent and effective results are observed especially in individuals between the ages of 30-45 with good skin elasticity. Lipolysis is performed between 2-4 sessions on average and the results become visible gradually after each session.

To increase the permanence, the use of a jowl corset, healthy nutrition and regular exercise are recommended after lipolysis. As Dr. Elvan Bayraktar Clinic, we choose the solutions used in lipolysis according to the needs of the patient and create a personalized treatment plan.

Some factors affecting the permanence of the jowl lipolysis process are as follows:

• Number of sessions applied (usually 2-4 sessions recommended)
• Patient’s age range and skin elasticity
• Weight gain after the procedure
• Healthy lifestyle and sports habits
• Use of the double chin corset for the recommended duration
• Metabolic rate and genetic propensity to adiposity
• Personal protocol planned by a specialized doctor
• Regular follow-up and control appointments after the procedure

When these factors are taken into account, the double chin lipolysis procedure produces effective and satisfactory results in the long term.

The reshaping of the skin after the double chin liposuction operation gives a youthful and dynamic appearance. However, liposuction alone may not be sufficient for people with excessive skin sagging. Offering a more comprehensive solution in these cases facelift surgeryIt can be combined with liposuction to provide more permanent and effective results.

How Many Sessions of Jowl Liposuction?

In most cases, the double chin liposuction procedure is completed with a single surgical intervention and provides permanent results. Since this application is a surgical method, the question “how many sessions are performed?” usually arises when it is confused with non-surgical procedures.

However, in some patients, especially in individuals with low skin elasticity or excess fat accumulation, a second minor intervention may be required for retouching to enhance the effect of the procedure or to improve symmetry. But this is quite rare.

When planning the jowl liposuction procedure, the patient’s age, skin quality, fat volume in the jowl area and expectations are taken into consideration. While skin tightening after the procedure is more successful in individuals with young and elastic skin, it may need to be combined with additional supportive procedures at older ages.

For example, in some patients, liposuction may be performed in a single session, and after a few months, support with procedures such as radiofrequency tightening or jowl suspension may be recommended. However, it should not be forgotten that the liposuction-based procedure is completed in a single session. After this procedure, the majority of subcutaneous fat cells are permanently removed. As Dr. Elvan Bayraktar Clinic, we approach each patient with the principle of “one procedure – maximum effect” and do not recommend extra interventions unless necessary.

The factors that are effective in jowl liposuction session planning can be listed as follows:

• Excess fat volume
• Skin elasticity and age factor
• Whether there has been a previous transaction
• Presence of additional aesthetic concerns (asymmetry, sagging, etc.)
• Patient expectations and desire for follow-up after the procedure
• Response of subcutaneous tissue to surgery

In general, 90% of the jowl liposuction applications performed in Istanbul give successful results in a single session. Only in special cases, a second procedure may be considered and this is usually planned for 6 months later.

In some cases, additional treatments are recommended after liposuction to increase skin elasticity and make the results more pronounced. In this context, it is the most preferred method after liposuction, which tightens and renews the skin. Scarlet S treatment is an ideal complementary method to improve skin quality.

Recovery Process After Jowl Liposuction

The healing process after jowl liposuction is as important as the procedure. Because the quality of the result obtained largely depends on this period. After the operation, the patient is usually discharged on the same day and can return to his/her daily life within a few days.

During the first 24-48 hours, a slight tightness, edema and bruising under the chin may be observed. These symptoms are a natural part of the process and usually decrease significantly within 1 week. The most important aid in the healing process is the regular use of the face corset recommended by the doctor. In addition, the following recommendations should be considered to make the healing process easier:

• Ice can be applied for the first 3 days (direct contact should be avoided)
• Face corset should be used regularly for 1 week
• Smoking and alcohol negatively affect recovery time
• Painkillers and antibiotics should be taken regularly
• A follow-up examination is usually performed on days 5 and 14
• Edema and bruises disappear within 10 days
• Skin tightening becomes evident after 4-6 weeks
• Use of make-up and cosmetics is not recommended for the first 5 days
