Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr Paul Pearce in Austin Texas walks you through what an in office awake chin liposuction surgery is like.

Patients who are good candidates for in office awake chin lipo are in good health and do not have any conditions or take medications that increase their risk of bleeding. Patients are met in the exam room and Dr. Pearce reviews the concerns that were previously discussed at their pre-op visit.

Next the course of the procedure is reviewed with the patient and the surgical markings are made. The patient is then given a small oral sedative dose and then brought back to the procedure room. We then numb the three areas of the planned incisions and then once numb begin infiltrating the area with the tumescent. This fluid helps plump up the area and also contains numbing medication in it.

This is allowed to sit for about 20 minutes and once numb Dr. Pearce uses a small vibrating tube to break up the fat deposits. Once all of these areas are broken up the fat is then suctioned out. The areas are then broken up a final time to smooth out the areas and then the wounds are sutured closed. The patient is then sat up right and placed in a supportive neck garment that they will wear night and day for about 5 to 7 days. Post op instructions are reviewed and the patient is then escorted to their ride home to recover.
