Chin Liposuction near Beverly Hills, CA

A normal part of the body's natural aging process is the slowing of elastin and 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 or BodyTite. This is an exciting nonsurgical procedure that 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's possible to attain a more youthful, slimmer appearance without undergoing surgery. Call plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Hakimi at our Beverly Hills, CA office to learn more about FaceTite and its amazing benefits.

Traditional liposuction is a surgical procedure that requires incisions, anesthesia, and a recovery period. 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. 

FaceTite utilizes a minimally invasive technique that involves inserting a tiny cannula beneath your skin while using local anesthesia. Once the cannula is placed, the temperature will be monitored and controlled through external and internal thermometers to keep the heat at a comfortable temperature. The FaceTite device will emit radiofrequency power to attack fat cells and cause your skin to contract, which will create an increase in collagen production. Sessions normally last about 45 minutes per treated area. 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 the following day. It might take three days or so for any discoloration or swelling to fade. Strenuous activities and exercises should be avoided for about two weeks after your treatment. You will likely notice some visible results after your FaceTite procedure, but since it involves stimulating the collagen process, you may notice more gradual improvements for the following 3 – 8 weeks. Your results will be long-lasting if you keep up a healthy weight through proper diet and exercise.

Surgical procedures, such as traditional chin liposuction, do not need to be your only option for attaining a firmer facial profile. FaceTite, offered by our Beverly Hills, CA office, can reduce fat and firm your chin and neckline using a state-of-the-art, minimally invasive procedure.
