Consider whether you are able to afford the chinlift cost. Saving for the future is an excellent option if money is tight. Many plastic surgeons offer payment options if you don’t have the cash right now. If you don't have any other option, this can be a great option. However, there are some risks associated with the procedure, such as bleeding and bruising.
chin lift surgery
Chin tucks (or rhytidectomy) are cosmetic procedures to lift the sagging neck. This involves tightening skin and the muscles underneath to give a more defined jawline. Patients can expect to see some swelling, bruising, and pain after surgery. This recovery period may last between two to four weeks. Incisions are made behind the ears and under the skin. Drains near the incisions will be removed a few days after surgery.
Liposuction
A chin lipo is a relatively inexpensive procedure, with the amount of fat removed ranging from fifty to one hundred cubic centimeters. The amount of fat removed will depend on the patient's individual anatomy. For comparison, a can of soda has approximately 350cc of volume. But contour deformities can be caused by removing significant amounts of fat. The cost of liposuction for the chin lift is between $650 to $700.
Laser technology
Laser technology isn't cheap for chin lifts. Although surgeons still use anaesthetic injectables, this technology is safer. Laser light is used to target fat cells and burn them. The risk of infection is possible, but it is usually short-term. The skin will appear smoother and more defined approximately six to 8 weeks after the procedure. Some patients report that the procedure feels like a mild sting.
Bruising
After a chinlift, bruises are a common side effect. There are two different kinds: hematomas and bruises. Hematomas, which are dark bruises, may not be painful. However, bruises can cause permanent scarring and are more serious than those caused by hematomas. Although bruises can be tender and flat, hematomas cause deeper, more severe swellings.
Swelling
After a procedure to reshape the chin, swelling is normal. They can peak within a few days but then decrease gradually over the following weeks or so. Although it is normal to have some swelling, it is important to know that the bruising and swelling have absolutely no effect on the final result. It is best to stay out of the heat for about a week after your procedure. A portable air conditioner will ensure the best possible results.
Prices
There are many options for chin lifts. The price range is variable. Liposuction is a non-invasive method that only goes as deep as the platysma muscular. If you are serious about improving your appearance you should choose a surgical option to target deeper pockets of fat. Deep-neck contouring on the other hand targets deeper fat pockets and submandibular gills. This is more invasive than traditional liposuction, and comes with a greater risk of complications.
