Jowl lipo
Lipo and Jowl Surgery (Cervicoplasty)
Jowls, known as double chins, can be solved by jowl surgery, with liposuction being a common option. There is also a cervico-facial facelift for cases of severe sagging.
The most effective correction is jowl surgery, especially liposuction for cases of excess fat. The procedure can be carried out in clinics or hospital surgical centers, depending on its complexity.

Double chin
Cervicoplasty: The most asked questions about jowl surgery
In addition to surgery, aesthetic treatments can help preserve the results. However, surgery is considered the most effective form of correction.
A double chin is part of natural ageing and can be caused by excessive weight gain or loss, as well as the ageing of facial structures.
Patients with an accumulation of fat in the chin area, without significant sagging, are ideal candidates for liposuction.
Liposuction involves the aspiration of fat through fine cannulas at strategic points, resulting in a more harmonious contour in the chin and neck area.
The surgery is expected to take around an hour and the patient is usually discharged from hospital the same day.
The cervico-facial facelift is recommended for patients with excess fat and marked sagging in the jowl area. It involves suspending the muscles with internal sutures.
Possible risks of Blepharoplasty
BLEFAROPLASTY, like any other surgery, has risks and complications, some of which are specific to it and others generic to any type of surgery. These include:
Generic
1. Allergies: Some medications or products used during surgery can cause allergic reactions, which can even lead to death. Allergic reactions are patient-dependent and can occur either to medicines or products that the patient has never had contact with, or to those that they have had previous contact with, even if they didn’t have a previous reaction.
2. Scarring: Changes in scarring can occur, such as dark or light coloration, widening, hypertrophy or keloids. Regular post-operative visits enable early diagnosis and control of these changes
3. Infection: Our body is colonized by countless bacteria, with which, at first, we live in extreme harmony. However, after surgery, they can cause infection, requiring treatment with antibiotics and rarely re-operation.
4. Hematoma: Accumulation of blood in the operated area, from a vessel that was not bleeding at the end of the operation, but did so in the immediate post-operative period.
5. Thrombosis: Any surgical procedure can lead to venous thrombosis. This can be predicted in predisposed patients, but can also occur in healthy patients without any predisposing factors. Thromboses can generate emboli that can cause Pulmonary Embolism, a serious condition that can lead to death.
Specific
1. Retro Bulbar Hematoma: Bleeding occurs in the posterior region of the eyeball, displacing it forward and possibly leading to blindness. In these cases, reoperation for drainage is urgently indicated.
2. Alopecia: This consists of hair loss in a small area, usually near the scars. It is a treatable complication, but it takes time and patience.
3. Ectropion: This is weakness of the lower eyelid, with detachment from the conjunctiva of the eye and exposure of the sclera. can cause chronic irritation of the affected eye. Because it is a natural evolution of the eyes with ageing, it can go unnoticed during surgery, requiring a second procedure for correction.
4. Dry Eye Syndrome: In some cases, reduced tear secretion may occur in one or both eyes. This is due to manipulation of the tissues near the lacrimal glands, leading to regional edema and reduced secretion. When caused by surgical trauma, it is temporary, requiring only the use of ophthalmic lubricants. For a variable period of time.
