Chin Liposuction New York, NY | Thomas P. Sterry, MD

Understanding Chin Liposuction

At Thomas P. Sterry, MD's NYC practice, addressing the appearance of a double chin is a common aesthetic goal for both men and women. Dr. Sterry believes chin liposuction offers the most effective solution for submental fat reduction.

Ideal Candidates for Chin Liposuction

Chin liposuction candidates often have a double chin that is not solely related to weight gain. Many patients find the condition is an inherited trait or a natural result of aging. Ideal patients have neck skin with good elasticity, enabling effective contouring.

Procedure Details

Thomas P. Sterry, MD typically performs chin liposuction using Smartlipo laser liposuction. This minimally invasive technique involves:

• Local anesthetic administration
• Small cannula insertion
• Laser-assisted fat melting
• Precise fat removal
• Collagen stimulation for skin tightening

Chin Liposuction vs. Alternative Treatments

While non-surgical options like KYBELLA® exist, Dr. Sterry often recommends traditional liposuction for more dramatic and immediate results. The procedure typically takes approximately 45 minutes and offers more comprehensive fat reduction compared to injection-based treatments.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect minimal bruising and swelling with Smartlipo. A compression garment is worn for about four days post-procedure. Most patients notice initial improvements within days, with full results developing over 4-6 weeks.

Combination Procedures

Dr. Sterry may recommend combining chin liposuction with complementary procedures such as:

• Facelift
• Neck lift
• Facial contouring
• Buccal fat removal
