Submental liposuction in maxillo-facial surgery

B Kovacs et al. Acta Stomatol Belg. 1992 Mar.

Abstract

Liposuction is a relatively recent surgical technique used in body contouring plastic surgery to correct fatty dysharmonies. It is of particular interest to the maxillo-facial surgeon to treat submental fat excess. This relatively easy technique is described, using a few clinical examples. Indications in maxillo-facial surgery are the correction of "double chin" deformity and increased submental fullness after orthognathic surgical procedures as mandibular setback, as well as an adjunct to rhytidectomy.
