What is Double Chin Liposuction and Jawline Definition? A patient-friendly guide to the procedure

Submental liposuction is a precise surgical procedure designed to remove localized fat beneath the chin and upper neck, refining the jawline and improving the balance between the face and neck.

ABOUT THE PROCEDURE

Submental liposuction, commonly known as double chin liposuction, targets localized fat beneath the chin that can soften the jawline and make the lower face appear fuller — even in people with a stable weight. The procedure does not change the patient’s core facial features; it reduces excess fat so the natural chin and jawline become more visible.

The outcome depends on localized fat and skin elasticity. When the skin remains reasonably elastic, it can gradually adapt to the new contour. When severe neck skin laxity is present, liposuction alone may not provide the intended improvement and other options may need to be assessed.

• Removes localized fat beneath the chin and upper neck
• Refines jawline and chin definition
• Uses very small, discreet access points
• Suitable for localized fat with reasonably good skin elasticity
