Loose skin around the neck and jawline can make you feel self-conscious. As you age, it’s normal for fat to become displaced. This may cause a double chin and make you feel older. 

What is Chin, Jawline & Neck Liposuction?

You can use liposuction to target the chin, jawline, and neck area. You can remove a double chin through liposuction, define the jawline, and remove excess fat under the neck. If you have excess neck fat, a small or weak chin, you may benefit from this type of surgery.

How Does Chin, Jawline & Neck Liposuction Work?

Chin, jawline and neck liposuction can be done alone or performed alongside other procedures like a facelift. With chin liposuction, you remove fat from below the chin, jowls, and cheeks. Whereas, with neck liposuction, you remove fat from the neck and jawline area. Liposuction targets fat removal; however, there is some moderate skin tightening results. But if you want to remove excess skin simultaneously, it’s worth considering a neck lift alongside neck liposuction to maximise results. 

During the procedure, tiny incisions are made under the jaw or ears. Your surgeon will then use special needs to remove fat under the skin with suction. In general, this type of procedure only uses local anaesthetic. After the fat removal process, your incisions will be covered with a special dressing. There is no need for stitches. 

Chin liposuction or submental liposuction is a suitable solution for both men and women who struggle to eliminate the stubborn bit of fat underneath the chin. The area sometimes referred to as a ‘double chin’ can make many people feel self-conscious. 

The procedure also involves removing fat from the cheeks, jaw, and jowls. Excess fat in these areas tends to make someone look bigger and older than they are. If you have good quality skin, you may choose submental liposuction over a neck lift, especially in younger patients. This is because chin liposuction has a lower risk of complications and fewer scars.

What Can You Expect During Your Consultation?

You will discuss your aims and desires with your surgeon. They will talk you through the procedure and go through your medical history. If they feel it is safe to go ahead with the procedure, your surgeon will take photos and arrange your treatment. 

How Long Does it Take to Recover From Chin, Jawline & Neck Liposuction?

You will need to apply an ice pack for a few days following your procedure. Overall, chin, jawline, and neck liposuction is a relatively quick procedure with minimal downtime. If you combine the treatment with another procedure, such as a facelift, you may need more time to heal and recover. 

Your recovery timeline can change depending on the combination of techniques your surgeon uses. In general, chin liposuction takes about 1 to 2 weeks to heal. Often, patients return to their normal activities in about 7 days and begin to exercise after 14 days. Some patients even return to work the following day after chin liposuction. 

For neck liposuction, you can return to work in 1 to 2 weeks. But you will need to avoid strenuous activities for 1 to 2 months. After this, everything should be back to normal, and you can fully enjoy your slimmer, more defined neck and jawline. 

What are the Scars Like Following Chin and Neck Liposuction?

During the procedure, incisions are made just under the chin and behind the ears. This means that scars are well hidden and not easily noticed. You will have scars even after healing in these locations, but they will gradually fade over time.

What’s the Difference Between a Neck Lift and Neck Liposuction?

neck lift specifically targets sagging skin underneath the chin and on the neck. Excess skin is removed, and skin tightened to create a more defined and youthful appearance. In comparison, neck liposuction involves the removal of fatty tissue underneath the skin. Because you don’t remove any skin, liposuction is often a good choice for patients in their 20s to 40s.
