Contact UsWhat Is Submental Liposuction?
Our expert team at Panacea Aesthetics is excited to offer the most advanced technology to address a problem chin. Submental liposuction is a mildly invasive surgical procedure that removes excess fat from the neck through a tiny incision. It greatly reduces the double chin appearance and can help enhance a sharp distinction between the jawline and the rest of the neck.
How Does Submental Liposuction Work?
We perform submental liposuction in the office procedure room under local anesthesia. Just a few small incisions are made inconspicuously beneath the chin, at which point a narrow liposuction instrument is then placed beneath the skin to remove the fat. The procedure takes around an hour, and patients are able to return home the same day.
Who Are Good Candidates for Submental Liposuction?
Patients who are frustrated with excess skin and fat under their chins and around the neck areas are good candidates for submental liposuction. It is a mildly invasive surgery, and it achieves more substantial results than nonsurgical options.

About UsLaser Liposuction FAQs
Can submental liposuction eliminate a double chin permanently?
Yes, submental liposuction can permanently remove fat cells from under the chin, effectively reducing or eliminating a double chin. Once these fat cells are removed, they do not regenerate. However, it's important to maintain a stable weight post-procedure, as significant weight gain can cause remaining fat cells in the area to expand, potentially altering the results. For lasting effects, combine the procedure with a healthy lifestyle.
What are the risks associated with submental liposuction?
Submental liposuction, like any surgical procedure, carries risks such as infection, bleeding, and an adverse reaction to anesthesia. Specific to this procedure, there may be risks of numbness or changes in skin sensation, as well as irregularities in skin contour. Swelling and bruising are common but typically subside within a few weeks. It’s crucial to follow your surgeon's aftercare instructions to minimize these risks.
Is there any scarring from submental liposuction?
Submental liposuction involves small incisions, usually less than a quarter inch in length, which are often placed inconspicuously under the chin or behind the ears. These incisions can result in minimal scarring that is typically well-concealed. Over time, these scars generally fade and become less noticeable. Proper care during the healing process, including protection from the sun, helps in reducing scar visibility.
What should I expect during the recovery period?
During the initial recovery period, which usually lasts a few days to a week, you can expect some swelling and bruising in the treated area. It's common to wear a compression garment to help reduce swelling and support the healing tissues. Most people feel ready to return to work and other normal activities within a few days, although it's recommended to avoid strenuous activities for a couple of weeks.
