Chin + Neck Liposuction

Overview

Chin and neck liposuction removes localized fat beneath the chin and along the jawline to restore a defined chin, jaw, and neck profile. At Cool Springs Plastic Surgery, our board-certified plastic surgeons perform the procedure through small, well-hidden incisions, and most patients return to normal activity within a few days.

Submental fullness — commonly called a double chin — is often an inherited trait that does not respond to diet or exercise. Removing it sharpens the cervicomental angle, the contour between the chin and neck that most defines a youthful profile. Patients frequently look years younger, or as though they have lost weight, following a single procedure.

Liposuction is often utilized for the chin/neck area to provide a more refined contour to the face. Without undergoing any other procedures, we can dramatically improve the appearance of a thick, wrinkled or sagging neck with this minimally invasive, little downtime surgery. Patients often look years younger or as though he or she has lost weight post-procedure. Neck contouring can also help restore balance to facial features, while providing a more defined jawline. Liposuction removes excess fat but cannot significantly improve sagging skin which is why a consultation with one of our board certified surgeons is the best way to determine if this is the right procedure for you. Results will last as long as a patient maintains a stable weight.

Is Chin Liposuction for You?

The best candidates for chin liposuction are within their normal weight with firm, elastic skin who have pockets of excess fat in chin or neck area. You should be physically healthy, psychologically stable and realistic in your expectations. Your age is not a major consideration, however, older patients may have diminished skin elasticity and may not achieve the same results as a younger patient with tighter skin. Other factors that can affect your result include smoking and your skin’s ability to heal following surgery. Chin Liposuction carries greater risk for individuals with medical problems such as diabetes, significant heart or lung disease, poor blood circulation or those who have recently had surgery near the area to be contoured.
