Details.
A cosmetic procedure to treat fat excess and skin laxity under the chin and jaw area, with or without excess neck skin. The procedure uses tumescent local anaesthesia and is performed in the clinic treatment room. It can re-contour the lower face and neck, with results evident at 2 weeks and continuing to improve over 6 months. Tiny incisions usually do not require sutures. A compression garment is worn for 18 to 24 hours for 1 week, then whenever at home for a further 3 weeks. Patients are reviewed at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months. Do not take herbal or natural medications, aspirin or arthritis medication for 10 days before and 7 days after the procedure.
