What is Chin Liposuction?
It is the removal of fat under the chin that can give you the appearance of having a double chin. With a simple chin liposuction procedure, the fat deposits are removed with little downtime. As we get older, putting on a little weight, leading more sedentary lives are all factors that may contribute to having excess fat on the chin. Nothing is more annoying than a double chin. Genetics can also leave your chin, neckline, and jawline flabby.
It may show sagging and a less than defined look. Chin liposuction can give you the sleek profile you want and the added confidence that goes with it. It is a more straightforward process than a facelift. It does not require sutures. With SmartLipo, the doctor can perform contouring procedures to make your chin and face appear slimmer. Liposuction can effectively target the stubborn fat deposits in your double chin or jowls. It is the fastest, most efficient way to make your jawline look more chiseled. Chin liposuction removes excess fat to restore a defined jawline. It can help you get rid of:
- A double chin
- Sagging jowls
- Fat deposits along your jawline
Chin lipo is often combined with other face and body contouring procedures.
How Does Chin Liposuction Work?
Chin liposuction is a simple, minimally invasive procedure. It is done using a technique called tumescent liposuction. It uses local anesthesia to numb the area. It requires only one or a few tiny incisions to give you excellent results. It does not require general anesthesia or expensive plastic surgery. It is well suited for younger patients. The patients first receive mild oral sedation to help them feel relaxed yet aware.
Small incisions in the skin are made to introduce a tumescent solution. With the SmartLipo Triplex laser, your procedure will be performed to contour and remove fat cells in the submental area. The use of SmartLipo enables the best skin tightening possible. It allows the doctor to balance facial features and reduce the appearance of loose skin. The local anesthetic will wear off after a few hours. The results will start showing as the new collagen tightens the skin. Chin liposuction is an effortless procedure. Most patients can return to work the very next day. We advise patients to organize transport from the clinic because of the remaining effects of the sedative.

Good Candidates for Submental Liposuction
To determine if you’re a good candidate for chin liposuction to reveal a sleek, defined jawline, ask yourself a few questions:
- Am I in good health and can benefit from lipo?
- Am I close to my ideal weight?
- Does my skin have good elasticity to help it tighten after lipo?
- Do I have realistic expectations?
If your answer to these questions is yes, chin liposuction could be the ideal choice for you. Men and women are ideal candidates for chin liposuction if they don’t have significant medical problems. Removing fat under the chin and the jawline makes a considerable improvement in your appearance. With Smartlipo Triplex laser technology, the surgeon can make your face appear younger.
What is the Recovery Time After the Procedure?
Most patients can experience mild discomfort after the procedure for a few days. It is recommended that you rest for 1-2 days after the procedure. You will be wearing a facial compression garment, and that will help with the discomfort. Most patients can return to work the next day.
Results You Can Expect After the Procedure
After the procedure, you will have swelling for about 2 weeks. The SmartLipo laser treatment will help with skin tightening for 2-3 months after the procedure. You may notice results sooner than that in some cases. The final results are complete anywhere from 3-6 months after the procedure. Most of our patients are delighted with their new appearance.
Particular Chin Lipo Risks
- Tightness It’s normal to experience some tightness after chin lipo. Depending on the patient, the tense/tight sensation may last for a period after surgery. We provide our patients with specific instructions and other resources (meds) to minimize neck tightness issues after the procedure.
- Bruising and swelling Slight bruising and swelling are expected after any liposuction procedure. Patients wear compression garments after surgery to minimize swelling. Bruising and swelling disappear within the week following your cosmetic surgery.
- Numbness Numbness isn’t as common as swelling and bruising. It can be a side-effect after the surgery. Usually, skin sensation returns within a month, but occasionally, numbness or nerve irritation persists.
How Much Does Chin Liposuction Cost?
