What is chin liposuction?
Chin liposuction is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to remove excess fat from the submental area (beneath the chin) and neck. Its goal is to enhance facial contour, define the jawline, and reduce the appearance of a double chin, resulting in a more youthful and streamlined appearance.
How is Chin Liposuction Performed?
The double chin liposuction procedure is simple and minimally invasive, offering quick results with a relatively short recovery time.
- Initial consultation: The process begins with a detailed consultation in which the surgeon evaluates the amount of accumulated fat and the skin’s elasticity. This helps determine whether you are a good candidate for chin liposuction.
- Surgical technique: Chin liposuction is performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the amount of fat to be removed and the patient’s preferences. Small incisions are made beneath the chin, through which a cannula is inserted to suction out the excess fat.
- Closure and recovery: The incisions are closed with fine sutures to minimize scarring. After the procedure, a compression band is applied to help shape the treated area and reduce swelling.
- Incision Closure: The incisions are closed with sutures, and a dressing is applied to protect the area and maintain the new contour of the chin.
- Recovery: After the procedure, patients can typically return home the same day, following the surgeon’s post-operative instructions.

The results of chin liposuction are typically visible shortly after surgery, once the initial swelling subsides. Patients report a more defined facial contour and improved facial symmetry, contributing to a more youthful and refined appearance.

Who is the Ideal candidate for chin liposuction?
The ideal candidate for chin liposuction is someone who has accumulated fat in the submental area (under the chin) and neck but has good skin elasticity, allowing the skin to properly retract after the fat is removed.
- Has localized excess fat in the chin and neck but maintains good skin elasticity.
- Desires to enhance jawline definition and improve facial contour.
- Is in good overall health and has realistic expectations for the results of the procedure.
- Seeks an effective, low-risk method to eliminate a double chin.
Preoperative tests for chin liposuction
Before undergoing chin liposuction, a series of tests are necessary to ensure the patient is in optimal condition for the surgery:
- Blood Tests: To assess coagulation and other essential health parameters.
- Medical Evaluation: To rule out underlying conditions that could affect the procedure.
- Facial Consultation: To plan the procedure and achieve the best facial harmony.
Postoperative care for chin liposuction
Recovery from chin liposuction is quick, but it requires following specific instructions to ensure the best results:
- Compression band usage: It’s crucial to wear the compression band for the recommended period to reduce swelling and shape the treated area.
- Avoid strenuous activities: For the first few weeks, avoid intense physical activity and sudden movements that may affect the treated area.
- Care of incisions: Keep the incisions clean and dry, and follow post-operative hygiene instructions to prevent infection.

Frequently asked questions about chin liposuction
Can Chin Liposuction be combined with a facelift?
Yes, chin liposuction can be combined with a facelift if desired, as both procedures address different aspects of facial aesthetics.
Can I sunbathe after chin liposuction surgery?
It’s advisable to avoid direct sun exposure for a few weeks after surgery to prevent complications, such as hyperpigmentation or scarring.
Are scars visible?
The incisions are made discreetly beneath the chin, so scarring is minimal and generally not noticeable.
How long until I dee the final results?
The final results may take a few months to fully appear, as swelling gradually subsides and the skin tightens around the treated area.
What are the risks of chin liposuction?
Risks Associated with Chin Liposuction Include:
- Infection: As with any surgical procedure, there is always a risk of infection in the treated area.
- Bruising: Bruising is common due to manipulation of the tissue beneath the skin.
- Swelling: Inflammation may last for several days or even weeks after the procedure.
- Asymmetry: There is a risk that results may not be perfectly symmetrical, which might require further adjustments.
- Irregular Scarring: While scarring is usually minimal, some patients may develop visible or uneven scars.
- Numbness: Temporary loss of sensation in the treated area is possible.
- Fluid Accumulation (Seromas): Pockets of fluid may form under the skin and may need to be drained.
- Skin Necrosis: In rare cases, compromised blood circulation can lead to tissue death.
Are There Visible Scars After Chin Liposuction?
No, the incisions are very small (2–3 mm) and are placed in discreet areas, such as under the chin or behind the ears. These scars are typically almost unnoticeable over time.
Are the results permanent?
Yes, the results are long-lasting as long as you maintain a stable weight. However, natural aging may gradually affect the appearance of the neck over time.
What If I don’t have good skin elasticity?
In cases of loose or poorly elastic skin, the surgeon may recommend combining liposuction with a neck lift or treatments like radiofrequency to help tighten the skin and achieve better results.
Can I gain fat in the chin again after the procedure?
While liposuction removes fat permanently from the treated area, if you gain weight in the future, fat may accumulate in the chin and neck again.
Is chin liposuction safe?
Yes, chin liposuction is considered safe when performed by an experienced and qualified surgeon.
At what Age is chin Liposuction Recommended?
There’s no specific age requirement, but the procedure is generally performed on individuals between 20 and 50 years old, as their skin tends to retract more effectively. In older patients with reduced skin elasticity, combining liposuction with other procedures—such as a neck lift—may be recommended to achieve optimal results.

Dr. Tiago Gomes
My priority as a surgeon is to help my patients regain confidence in their appearance. Chin liposuction not only removes excess fat but also allows for the redefinition of the jawline, resulting in a more harmonious and rejuvenated facial contour. My goal is for each patient to feel better about themselves while maintaining a natural and balanced look.

With chin liposuction, I aim to correct those small details that affect facial symmetry. I understand that the neck and jawline are key areas for achieving a youthful appearance. What matters most to me is that my patients enjoy long-lasting results and, above all, feel like themselves—just a fresher, more renewed version of their face.

As a specialist in aesthetic surgery, I’ve always prioritized techniques that ensure minimal invasiveness and maximum patient satisfaction. Chin liposuction is a quick, outpatient procedure with impressive results. It’s not just about removing localized fat—I always aim to enhance the overall facial structure to achieve results that both look and feel natural.
