Double chin liposuction is a surgical technique used to remove excess fat under the chin and neck. It is an effective way to achieve a more youthful and defined appearance in the facial area. If you are considering double chin liposuction, here are five things to know before making a decision.

1. Double chin liposuction is a safe and effective procedure

Double chin liposuction is a safe and effective technique to remove excess fat in the facial area. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis and is usually completed within an hour. The surgeon will make a small incision under the chin and use a thin cannula to remove the fat. Patients often experience a quick recovery and an improved appearance in the jowl area.

2. It is not a treatment for sagging skin

It is important to note that double chin liposuction is not a treatment for sagging skin. If you have sagging skin or sagging jowls, you may need another type of procedure, such as facelift surgery. Dr Franklin Peña can evaluate your skin and recommend the best treatment for your specific needs.

3. The results of double chin liposuction are long-lasting

Once the fat has been removed from the double chin, the results are long lasting. However, it is important to note that double chin liposuction does not prevent fat from reaccumulating in the future. If you gain weight after the procedure, you may notice a buildup of fat in the jowl area. It is important to maintain a healthy weight and follow a balanced diet and exercise regularly to maintain the results of double chin liposuction.

4. It is suitable for men and women

Double chin liposuction is a suitable procedure for both men and women. Fat under the chin and neck can be a problem for both genders, and double chin liposuction is an effective way to address this problem. Dr. Franklin Peña can adjust the procedure to ensure that your specific needs are met.

5. It can be combined with other facials

Double chin liposuction can be combined with other facial treatments, such as Botox or dermal fillers, to achieve a more youthful and defined appearance in the facial area. Your plastic surgeon can work with you to develop a complete treatment plan that allows you to achieve your aesthetic goals.

In short, Double Chin Liposuction is a safe and effective procedure to remove excess fat under the chin and the neck. If you are considering double chin liposuction, it is important to speak with an experienced and board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Franklin Peña.

Combining several plastic surgeries, apart from using a single anesthesia for several procedures, could reduce the operating cost of plastic surgery, but it is also the most important thing is that the patient is in excellent health.

It is very common for patients to request several plastic surgery procedures to have a single intervention and thus avoid duplicating the postoperative one.
Now, we must bear in mind that there are certain interventions that can be combined, and they must always have been planned from the beginning, with a specific plan and with a clear objective.

Surgeries found in nearby areas with the aim of achieving a complete harmonious result, such as correcting two parts of the face, abdomen with breasts, abdomen with thighs, are possible.

In the event that the areas are remote, a complex intervention is combined with another of less difficulty. Like blepharoplasty mammoplasty, otoplasty mammoplasty.

The “mommy makeover” is the best example of combined surgery, since in a single intervention the abdomen is corrected by means of a tummy tuck that eliminates flaccidity, correction of the breasts (either increase, reduction or breast lift) and body contouring through liposuction. Thus, the changes produced by pregnancy are radically improved. It is one of the combinations with the most satisfying results.

What are the advantages of combining plastic surgeries?
-One entry
-One intervention
-One recovery
-Important economic savings

The main advantage is a single admission to the clinic and a single recovery period. The post-operative may take longer and be more uncomfortable, but without a doubt, it would be only one, so it becomes more bearable.
We must remember that the cost of combined interventions is usually cheaper, since they reduce some costs, such as hospitalization, anesthesia, and other operative factors that plastic surgeries entail.
The success of the combination of interventions depends fundamentally on adequate surgical planning, according to the needs of each patient, where the health and well-being of the patient is paramount.

The first thing that the patient must bear in mind is that in this surgery, more than seeking perfection, it is about finding an improvement.

Therefore, # 1 There are no perfect results
This is important to keep in mind when considering surgery. Having a realistic goal of what can be achieved with rhinoplasty is essential, and this should be detailed at the time of consultation with your plastic surgeon.

In the consultation, you must be clear about what can and cannot be done.

# 2 You will not go out with just a small bandage on your nose
After the nose job you will have to use a splint over the bridge, your nostrils may have blocked and it may also be necessary to place pads over the drain.

# 3 The inflammation will not allow you to see results immediately
Swelling and bruising after rhinoplasty is totally normal. You must bear in mind that this inflammation will not allow you to see the results until a few months later.

# 4 Sunglasses
We know how essential sunglasses can be, especially in our tropical climate, but you won’t be able to wear glasses after rhinoplasty until healed, as they can cause the bridge of the nose to not heal properly. If you have prescription glasses to see, it is recommended to wear contact lenses during recovery, at least the first month.

# 5 Your voice may vary during recovery
As long as the inflammation persists in that area, you may have a different tone of voice than yours and it may be annoying for weeks, and even months after surgery.

Aesthetic Rhinoplasty. The nose is the center of the face, it’s an esthetic and ethnic prime element. The profile of a person’s face is defined by the shape and projection of the nose.

The beautification and nasal profile esthetics have always been observed in all cultures. It has received great attention in the time of the great masters of the Italian Renaissance, when Da Vinci, Michelangelo and other greats placed emphasis in their works; both in paintings and sculptures.

Today, the movies industry and the media give more attention to the profile and shape of the nose, from Marilyn Monroe to Michael Jackson. Certainly icons of excess, always being the most convenient the natural results without displaying the “operated nose” evidence.

Anthropologically the nose is a distinctive element of each ethnicity or race; is why the Asians have it in one way; the Anglo-Saxons in another, the African Americans and the Latinos. In the case of our country we have mestizo noses with great variety of shapes and a great majority with basic features, such as wide orifices, flattened nasal dorsum, popularly called “ñato” as well as prominent wings and bullous or round tips.

Both men and women can change the appearance of their nose, in size and shape; the back height, orifice size, projection and definition of the tip, etc.

We also have cases of functional rhinoplasty, where the correction of the septal deviation, turbinate surgery and nasal reconstruction for traumas are included.

The rhinoplasty is worldwide one of the most performed cosmetic procedures; for example, only in 2013 in the United States were operated on more than 100,000 patients. 41% of those aged between 22 and 35 years, and 24% of those were men.

From 18 years old almost any individual is a candidate for rhinoplasty. The psychological aspect is of great importance, as well as patient expectations. It’s necessary to know the motivations of each individual as well as the results they expect; some might believe that we will remove their nose and another will be placed, which would be a distortion of the reality. Based on the nasal bone and cartilage structure plastic surgeons can dramatically improve the esthetic appearance of a person, giving them more self-confidence and a significant improvement in self-esteem.

The procedure is ambulatory, of about 1 hour where cartilage and bones forming the nasal structure are sculptured. In mild cases such as lifting of the tip or nostrils orifice reduction the time is half an hour and about 3 days later the patient returns to his normal life.

The discomfort or mild pain are rare and are treated with oral analgesics. After 10 days the patient leads his normal life.

It is of great importance to know that when it’s necessary to increase the projection of the nose, only two materials can be used; cartilage of the patient; or small silicone implants. We emphasize that any other substance, method or mechanism has not resulted safe and there are no studies showing successful results, as in the case of halogens, such as polymers or other substances of unknown origin.

Among the aesthetic improvements that can be considered within rhinoplasty, are the reduction or increase of the nose, the modification of the tip or bridge and the narrowing or change of shape of the nasal passages.

What is rhinoplasty or nose repair about?
It is the plastic surgery that seeks to reshape the nose, which can be both aesthetic and to correct structural defects that can cause respiratory problems.

It is for this reason, of utmost importance, that during the consultation the patient motivates the surgeon the personal goals with said surgery.

Cost of rhinoplasty
The cost of any plastic surgery will vary considerably, depending on several determining factors.
