Chin Liposuction near Beverly Hills, CA

A normal part of the body's aging process is the slowing of collagen production in the epidermis. This results in visible wrinkles, lines, and creases, as well as loose skin on the chin, neck, and jowls. To combat these symptoms of aging, Dr. Hakimi provides chin liposuction with an innovative technology called FaceTite. This nonsurgical procedure uses radiofrequency-guided lipolysis to heat up and dislodge fat cells, allowing collagen to be created at a faster rate, thus firming the surrounding skin. It can also eliminate the appearance of a double chin to help you achieve a slimmer facial profile.

What It Is

Chin liposuction with FaceTite is used to eliminate stubborn fat in the chin, neck and jawline. It also firms the skin and improves elasticity to reduce sagging in treated areas.

How We Do It

Dr. Hakimi uses FaceTite to tighten the skin and eliminate excess fat in the chin and jawline. This minimally invasive procedure runs on the BodyTite platform and utilizes radiofrequency energy to break down fat cells and renew collagen production.

Why You Want It

You’re bothered by stubborn fat in the face and neck that creates the appearance of a double chin or a sagging jawline, but you prefer to avoid invasive surgery. FaceTite provides clinically proven results in a single treatment without extensive downtime.

Recovery Time

Minimal; most patients are back to work within 48 hours.

Traditional liposuction is a surgical procedure that requires incisions, anesthesia and downtime. FaceTite is a nonsurgical, minimally invasive type of lipolysis that is performed while the patient is awake using local anesthesia. FaceTite offers the dual benefit of increasing collagen and firming the skin once the fat has been removed. This form of chin liposuction eliminates some of the risks associated with traditional liposuction, giving you long-lasting results without the costs, discomfort and recovery of invasive surgery.

Dr. Hakimi specializes in aesthetic procedures of the face and body and is known for using less invasive techniques, such as awake liposuction, to give patients the results they want without extensive downtime. Chin liposuction with FaceTite is an advanced technique he utilizes to permanently eliminate unwanted fat beneath the jawline. However, unlike regular liposuction, FaceTite also firms the overlying skin to reduce concerns like jowls and sagging.

FaceTite is an exciting nonsurgical radiofrequency (RF) device that runs on the BodyTite platform, using controlled heat to melt subcutaneous fat beneath the chin and making it easier to remove. At the same time, the body’s natural healing response is triggered to stimulate new collagen production. Existing collagen fibers are also tightened, producing a firming effect that improves over the coming weeks, giving patients both immediate and lasting results.

FaceTite is considered the gold standard for reducing the appearance of a double chin. However, for patients looking for less invasive treatments, it is also the preferred alternative to a traditional facelift and can be used to achieve the following goals:

• Eliminating submental fullness beneath the chin
• Reducing the appearance of jowls for a more defined jawline
• Contouring the lower face
• Lifting and tightening sagging skin
• Neck wrinkles and laxity

Chin liposuction using FaceTite offers both immediate and long-lasting results. You will likely notice a visible improvement in your appearance shortly after your procedure, but your results will continue to develop over the following 3 – 8 weeks as new collagen is produced within the skin. Treated fat cells will be permanently eliminated, while you can expect to enjoy increased skin firmness and elasticity for several years. Because FaceTite’s RF energy penetrates more deeply than similar treatments, you can maintain your results for up to 5 years with proper skin care, a healthy diet and exercise.

FaceTite can be performed on its own to lift and tighten your skin, but it is often used alongside liposuction when addressing specific concerns such as submental fullness beneath the chin. Combining FaceTite with liposuction is a pairing known as radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL). Depending on your goals, Dr. Hakimi may also recommend combining your procedure with other surgical or nonsurgical treatments to help you achieve your desired aesthetic outcome.

Chin liposuction with FaceTite is a minimally invasive procedure that is performed in-office with local anesthesia. It typically takes 45 minutes to complete per treated area.

The FaceTite handpiece consists of an external electrode that stays on the skin’s surface and a thin probe that is inserted beneath the skin. During treatment, radiofrequency energy flows from the internal probe to the external electrode, melting fat cells and tightening the treated tissues. Dr. Hakimi then removes the liquified fat cells using a separate tube called a cannula.

The amount of RF energy delivered is monitored in real-time with internal and external thermometers to ensure comfortable temperatures and consistent results. No thermal injury is caused to the surrounding areas, and you’ll be able to return home the same day.

Compared to surgical procedures like a facelift or traditional liposuction, the amount of downtime required after chin liposuction with FaceTite is minimal. Additionally, the incisions used are so small that no sutures are typically needed, and no scars are left behind.

Following your treatment, you'll be sent home wearing a special garment to rest and relax for the remaining portion of the day. You will be able to return to your normal routine within 24-48 hours. It might take three days or so for any discoloration or swelling to fade. Strenuous exercise and other demanding activities should be avoided for about two weeks after your treatment.

Surgical procedures, such as traditional chin liposuction, do not need to be your only option for attaining a firmer facial profile. FaceTite with Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Hakimi can reduce the appearance of a double chin and firm your neckline using minimally invasive techniques.
