What Is Chin Liposuction?

Chin lipo, also referred to as submental liposuction, is a minimally invasive procedure performed to remove excess fat from the chin and neck area. This fat is typically a result of genetics or weight gain and may be resistant to diet and exercise. Chin lipo sculpts the jawline and neck area to add definition and contour a more attractive facial profile.

Am I a Candidate for Double Chin Liposuction?

If you are frustrated by unwanted fat along your jaw and neckline causing the appearance of a double chin, you may be a good candidate for chin lipo. Ideal candidates should be at or near their ideal body weight and have good skin elasticity in the neck area. Remember that chin lipo only removes fat cells and does not do any skin tightening. 

Therefore, if you have a significant amount of loose skin on your neck, a chin liposuction procedure may not be for you. You should not have any life-threatening or serious medical conditions that may impede your ability to safely undergo surgery or that may delay healing. Patients must be non-smokers and have realistic expectations about plastic surgery outcomes.

How Does Fat Removal Under Chin Work?

Most chin liposuction surgical procedures can be performed with local anesthesia and IV sedation. Once the anesthesia has been administered, double chin removal only requires tiny incisions — and usually just one, located right beneath the chin.

Your surgeon will then insert a thin metal tube with holes (called a cannula) and suction the excess fat out. Finally, your incision will be carefully closed, and a compression head strap will be applied to the treatment area to minimize swelling.

Submental Liposuction Recovery

Following chin liposuction surgery, most patients have a smooth and easy recovery. You’ll need to wear a chin compression garment for a short time, and you will have some bruising, swelling, and discomfort. Patients must avoid strenuous activities for a while and may feel more comfortable staying at home for at least a week.

However, over time, you may return to your normal activities, and any pain, soreness, swelling, and bruising should fade away. With that said, some swelling can sometimes linger for several months, so it may take up to around three months to see your full results. Read some chin liposuction reviews from past patients to learn more about recovery.

Chin Liposuction FAQ

How does chin liposuction after 1 week look?

After 1 week, patients typically experience little to no pain and can return to work/school. Swelling and bruising have significantly reduced, though some mild swelling and sensitivity may remain. The compression strap can usually be removed at this point, and patients should see continued progress in their results.

How long do chin lipo results last?

Results are permanent as fat cells are permanently removed. However, weight gain can affect results, and natural aging may cause loose skin over time. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle helps preserve outcomes.

How painful is chin liposuction?

The procedure itself is painless due to anesthesia (typically local with IV sedation). Post-op discomfort is usually mild and manageable with medication if needed. Most patients are pain-free by the end of the first week.

Will I have a chin lipo scar?

A very small incision (few millimeters) is made under the chin, which heals into a barely noticeable dimple over time. The scar typically fades significantly.
