Neck and chin liposuction are everyday procedures with a minimum of risk to the patient. However, you don’t want to leave everything to chance. You do want to make some preparations to be sure that your chin liposuction procedure comes off as easily and quickly as your fat cells. The first thing you need to discover is the chip liposuction cost and (even more importantly) when the payment is due. When that’s done and you know you can afford the surgery, then you can concentrate on the surgery itself.
Two Weeks Before Surgery
Your cosmetic surgeon should already be working with your regular doctor in order to determine if chin liposuction would be safe for you. If surgery is scheduled, then you can pretty well assume that your surgeon and your doctor consider the procedure not that risky for you. But you still need to let your cosmetic surgeon know about all of the prescription medicines and any alternative remedies you are taking.
There are some drugs and holistic remedies that you need to stop taking two weeks prior to your chin liposuction. Your cosmetic surgeon will let you know if your medicines fall onto the no-no list. You also need to be honest with your cosmetic surgeon about your smoking habits (if you have any). It’s safest for you to stop smoking two weeks prior to the surgery.
You also should give your home a good cleaning, because you may feel ill, weak or too “out of it” to do regular household chores during your recovery period. Fill your pantry with some very easy to make foods and – if you’re not within walking distance of a store – stock up on things like powdered milk and toilet paper, just in case.
Surgery Day
Although many people are able to go home the same day as their chin liposuction, you should prepare for an overnight stay, just in case. Just as not all people are alike, so people can have vastly different reactions to common anesthetics. It’s best to NOT drive on the surgery day. You need to arrange for a ride to and from the clinic (or wherever the chin liposuction is to be done).
Expect to be sore, cranky, bruised, swollen strangely in places and have stitches in your face. When you look at yourself in the mirror for the first time, expect to look terrible. But, as you recover, you will then see great changes in your appearance. Most people need at least two weeks to feel halfway re-energized.
