Body Liposuction Surgery Combined with Submental Liposuction

For many individuals, stubborn fat deposits can be a source of frustration, even with a healthy diet and exercise routine. Areas such as the abdomen, thighs, and flanks can be particularly resistant to weight loss efforts. Similarly, excess fat under the chin, known as submental fat, can create an appearance of fullness that some find undesirable. Cleveland Cosmetic Surgery offers a comprehensive solution by combining body liposuction surgery with submental liposuction to create a balanced, sculpted appearance with minimal downtime.

What Is Body Liposuction?

Body liposuction is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess fat from targeted areas of the body. Dr. Diamantis gently suctions out fat using Vaser assistance to create smoother contours and a more defined silhouette. It is particularly effective for patients looking to refine their waistline, thighs, arms, or back. This procedure is best suited for individuals who are close to their ideal weight but struggle with localized fat pockets. It is not a weight loss solution but a body contouring method that enhances the natural shape of the body.

What Is Submental Liposuction?

Submental liposuction, often called chin or neck liposuction, is a specialized procedure to remove fat beneath the chin and along the jawline. Excess fat in this area can create the appearance of a double chin and obscure the definition of the lower face. By carefully removing fat deposits, submental liposuction enhances the jawline and creates a more youthful and sculpted profile.

This procedure particularly benefits individuals who experience fullness under the chin despite maintaining a healthy weight. Combined with body liposuction, it ensures a harmonious and proportionate enhancement of the body and facial features.

Why Combine Body and Submental Liposuction?

Patients seeking comprehensive body contouring often find that combining body liposuction with submental liposuction achieves a more balanced and refined look. Addressing both body fat and facial contours in a single procedure offers several benefits:

• Harmonized Aesthetics: Creating proportionate body and facial contours ensures a natural-looking transformation.
• Minimized Downtime: Undergoing both procedures simultaneously reduces overall recovery time compared to having them done separately.
• Cost Efficiency: Combining procedures can be more cost-effective as it reduces facility fees and anesthesia costs.
• Increased Confidence: A full-body and facial refinement can boost self-esteem and improve personal and professional confidence.

How the Procedure Works

Both body and submental liposuction are performed using similar techniques, but they require precision to ensure natural-looking results. Dr. Diamantis begins with small incisions in discreet locations through which a cannula (a thin, hollow tube) is inserted. Using gentle suction, fat cells are permanently removed in a controlled manner to avoid irregularities or excessive removal.

The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the treatment areas. Patients return home the same day.

Recovery and Downtime

One of the most appealing aspects of Vaser liposuction is its relatively quick recovery. Most patients experience mild swelling and bruising that subsides within a few weeks. A compression garment is recommended to help reduce swelling and support the newly contoured areas.

Patients undergoing submental liposuction may experience slight tightness and swelling in the neck area. Wearing a chin strap for the first few days can help optimize results and minimize discomfort. Most individuals return to work and daily activities within a week, although strenuous exercise should be avoided for a few weeks to allow proper healing.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate?

The best candidates for body and submental liposuction are individuals who:

• Are at or near their ideal body weight
• Have good skin elasticity to allow for proper contouring post-liposuction
• Struggle with stubborn fat pockets that do not respond to diet or exercise
• Want to improve the definition of their jawline and overall body shape
• Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the procedure

Results and Longevity

Vaser liposuction results are long-lasting, as fat cells permanently removed from the body do not regenerate. However, maintaining a stable weight through a healthy lifestyle is crucial to preserving the outcome. Submental liposuction results in a sharper, more defined jawline that enhances the overall facial aesthetic. Patients can expect to see noticeable improvements within a few weeks, with full results developing over the course of a few months.
