Laser liposuction with skin tightening of the lower third of the face and neck

Why and when do you do a liposuction on the chin and neck? The reason is one of the "diseases" we all suffer from: gravity. It also leaves its mark on us - the skin slackens and continues to exert a downward pull. In younger years, we usually have no fat in the chin or neck, but we have some in the cheeks, which gives the face a nice shape. Unfortunately, this changes with the time - the rounded cheekbones disappear and a second chin appears, which also pulls down the lower third of the face - this is the part where the face passes to the chin, in the lower jaw area, the so-called Jaw Line.

Dr Duško Maletić personally developed the laser-assisted liposuction method of the chin and neck and presented it at a conference in Paris in 2012. The method proved to be good and successful, and so, since 2012, the Maletić Polyclinic has been regularly visited by experts from all over the world who want to see Dr Duško Maletić perform this operation. Aesthetic surgeons around the world are increasingly using this technique and satisfied patients recommend it to others.

This method is recommended for patients who have a visible build-up of fat tissue on the chin, and where the skin in the lower third of the face and neck is noticeably slackened, but not as much as to require a facelift. This method is also recommended for patients who do not want to opt for a "major" procedure. A facelift always leaves several scars - but this method is non-invasive, so there are no scars visible.

Local anaesthetic is sufficient for this procedure - after administration, the surgeon cuts 1.5 to 2 mm openings in the middle of the chin and below both earlobes, which he uses to insert laser fibres that penetrate into the skin and dissolve excess fatty tissue. The laser also tightens the skin in the lower part of the face at the same time. The procedure is painless and the patient can leave the Maletić Polyclinic the same day, but has to wear a compression bandage for the next four to five days and nights.

The full result of this high-quality facial lifting method becomes visible in three to six months.
