It is a surgical procedure that is performed on patients with a cumule of localized fat, speciphically, at the cervical level, specifically under the chinn. This acuThe submental fat mass erases the so-called mental-cervical angle in the patient's profile, blurring the mental division.tica among the mandibulla and neck.

Through liposuctionIn submental we can recover the aesthetic profile between the face and the neck, define the silhouette of the jaw and the angle formed between the jaw and the neck. These elements represent key aspects in facial rejuvenation techniques.

In other cases, they are performed in the operating room under local anesthesia, with or without sedation of the patient, epidural anesthesia, or general anesthesia, as necessary or convenient at the discretion of the medical team caring for you.

In order to aspirate the fatty tissue, incisions 2-3 millimeters long are made through which fat aspiration cannulas are inserted. These incisions are made in barely visible areas of the face or neck.

The amount of fat removed from the neck in liposuctionn submental is small̃to (not más of 20-30 cc, usually). The improvement in the appearance of the neck is produced, both by the extraction of subcutaneous fat, and by the scar retraction of the area secondary to the surgical intervention itself.rgic.

The expected benefit is an increase in the definition of the chin profile and an improvement in the angle of the chin with the neck.
