Double Chin Liposuction

Double Chin Liposuction, also known as submental liposuction, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess fat beneath the chin and contour the jawline. This targeted approach helps eliminate the appearance of a "double chin" that often persists despite diet and exercise, creating a more defined profile and youthful neck contour.

The procedure uses small, strategically placed incisions to access and remove fat deposits under the chin and along the jawline. Unlike non-surgical alternatives, liposuction provides immediate, significant results with a single treatment and offers more precise sculpting capabilities for optimal facial harmony.

At Neoderma Clinica, our skilled plastic surgeons use advanced techniques to ensure natural-looking results with minimal scarring. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation, allowing for a comfortable experience and quick recovery. Ideal candidates have good skin elasticity and localized fat beneath the chin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Double chin liposuction provides immediate, significant results in a single procedure with precise sculpting capabilities. Non-surgical alternatives like injectable treatments (Kybella) or cooling treatments (CoolSculpting) typically require multiple sessions, produce more gradual results, and offer less precise contouring. Liposuction is also better suited for moderate to severe submental fat, while non-surgical options work best for mild to moderate cases.

Ideal candidates have good skin elasticity, localized fat beneath the chin, and realistic expectations. The procedure works best for those whose double chin is primarily caused by fat rather than loose skin or muscle laxity. Candidates should be in good overall health, non-smokers or willing to quit before surgery, and at or near their ideal weight. Those with significant skin laxity may benefit from combining liposuction with a neck lift for optimal results.

Recovery from double chin liposuction is relatively quick compared to more extensive procedures. Most patients can return to work and light activities within 3-5 days. You'll need to wear a compression garment for about 1-2 weeks to minimize swelling and support optimal contouring. Swelling and bruising typically subside within 1-2 weeks, with initial results visible once swelling decreases. Final results develop over 1-3 months as the tissues heal completely.

Yes, the fat cells removed during double chin liposuction are permanently eliminated. However, maintaining your results requires a stable weight through proper diet and exercise, as significant weight gain can cause remaining fat cells to enlarge. The procedure does not prevent natural aging, which may affect skin elasticity over time. For most patients who maintain a stable weight, the improved jawline definition and profile are long-lasting.
