Synopsis

Chin liposuction, also known as submental liposuction or neck liposuction, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that aims to remove excess fat from the chin and neck area. It is commonly performed to address the appearance of a "double chin" or excess fullness in the lower face and neck region.

Chin liposuction can result in a more defined and sculpted jawline and neckline.

Sculpting a More Youthful Facial Appearance

A common cosmetic complaint that male patients discuss with us is the excess fat around the chin, cheeks and jowls, something that no amount of exercise can help with. To improve these areas of concern, patients may consider neck liposuction which offers natural-looking contoured results with few complications, discreet scars and a rapid recovery.

What is Chin Liposuction?

While the general term for this procedure is liposuction of the “neck and face area,” the actual area that is addressed involves the area below the jaw, the jowls and a small area of the cheeks. By making a single ¼ inch incision under the chin and removing subcutaneous fat with a small cannula, liposuction can easily correct these problem areas.

Are You a Candidate for Chin Liposuction?

The best candidates for neck liposuction are patients with firm, elastic skin that have pockets of excess fat in specific areas. While age is not a major factor, patients should be physically healthy and have realistic expectations. Older patients may have poor skin elasticity, and might not have the same results as a younger patient with tighter skin.

Good candidates for neck liposuction include patients who:

Unwanted fullness or protruding of the mons.

No significant skin laxity or drooping

Focal overhanging the mons area.

The best way to determine if you are a good candidate for neck and face liposuction is to schedule a consultation with the SixSurgery team.

Chin Liposuction Procedure

At SixSurgery, a chin liposuction procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia (awake) or under general anesthesia (asleep) if the patient is combining the procedure with other surgeries.

The surgeon will typically make a small ¼ inch incision under the chin and inject tumescent solution to minimize bleeding.

They will gently aspirate (suck-out) the subcutaneous fat with a thin cannula. Generally, the incisions do not require sutures, which allows open drainage to reduce bruising and swelling.

How should I prepare for my chin liposuction?

There really isn’t much preparation for the procedure. You should, however, stop smoking 2 weeks before surgery in order to ensure a full and uncomplicated recovery.

What’s recovery like for neck and face liposuction?

Most patients feel well the next day. However, for best results, SixSurgery recommends that you wear a neck garment for two weeks 24/7. Although you could go without the garment, our clinic believes that wearing it improves the results and is critical for a good outcome.
