What Is Double Chin Liposuction?
It is a procedure in which excess submental fat is removed with fine cannulas to define the jaw–neck line. It provides a sharper jaw profile and a more youthful neck appearance.
In which cases is it preferred?
- Reducing the appearance of a “double chin” caused by weight or genetics
- Adding definition to the neck and jaw area
- Reducing the signs of age-related sagging
Procedure and recovery
It is usually performed in approximately 30 minutes under local anaesthesia, with sedation if needed. Patients are discharged and may return to daily life the same day. A chin compression garment is used for the period advised by the surgeon; the final result is seen in 3–6 months.
In candidates with good skin elasticity, recovery is good; in loose skin, additional tightening may be considered.
