What is
Submental Liposuction?

Some fat deposits are so stubborn that no matter what diet you take or exercise you do, they just simply don’t go away. One such area with excess fat is the chin and the neck. The fat under the chin and across the neck can make your face appear bulkier and undefined. That’s why submental liposuction is a popular cosmetic surgery. The procedure removes these fat deposits, highlighting your jawline and neck without incisions.

At NexGen, Dr. Yamini performs submental liposuction using advanced laser technology. Since no incisions or knives are involved, the procedure is often called a knifeless facelift. After all, beauty shouldn’t always have to be painful! Connect with our board-certified surgeon today to achieve a nice, natural contour around your neck and a minimized double chin.

Procedure Process
and Recovery

1

Assessment

The submental liposuction procedure at NexGen starts with a detailed assessment of the patient’s condition. Dr. Yamini evaluates every individual’s aesthetic goals to develop a personalized treatment plan for their needs. We aim to make you feel confident about your surgery decision, so you will be at peace throughout the procedure. After the consultation, you will be administered numbing medication for no pain during the surgery.
2

Melting the Fat Deposits

During the procedure, Dr. Yamini will first mark the areas around your double chin with excess fat. Then, they place a very thin laser under your chin in the marked locations to melt the fat deposits.
3

Tightening the Skin

The best part about submental liposuction is that it also includes skin tightening effects. The heat generated by the laser also boosts collagen production inside your skin while constricting the underlying tissues. It gives you a smoother, tightened appearance around your chin and neck.
4

Post-Surgery Care

The post-surgery care plan after submental liposuction is relatively easy and simple. Since the doctor doesn’t make incisions around your face or neck, sutures are not used in the procedure. So you won’t have to visit your doctor for their removal. The recovery is also pretty quick. However, you’d have to wear a head wrap 3 to 5 days after the procedure to promote healing.
5

Recovery

The recovery after submental liposuction is very short, taking a maximum of 1 week for complete healing. There will be no swelling or bruising after the surgery, and you can return to your regular routine the next day. You can return to work in a few days and start low-impact workouts after 2 days. Strenuous activities can also be resumed after 2 to 3 days.

The final results may take a few weeks to appear after the surgery. So, wait patiently and follow the post-surgery care instructions carefully. Stay in touch with your doctor throughout the recovery to promote healing.

FAQs

What is submental liposuction?

Submental liposuction is a surgical procedure that includes removing fat deposits from the jawline and neck. It is especially performed to eliminate double chin and highlight the natural contour of the neck. The purpose is to give the patient a more youthful and defined figure.

What are the results of submental liposuction?

After the procedure, your chin will have about 80% less fat content since your body can’t grow new fat cells after 25 years. You will have a well-contoured neckline with a prominent jawline.

How painful is submental liposuction?

Submental liposuction isn’t a painful procedure since there are no incisions involved. However, you may experience slight pain if your doctor performs additional surgeries alongside submental liposuction. You will be administered anesthesia to minimize discomfort during the procedure. The post-surgery pain will be dealt with through a proper care plan.

How long does submental liposuction last?

The fat removal after submental liposuction surgery usually lasts for a lifetime, but it can be up to 10 years, depending on how well you follow the post-surgery care guidelines. Remember, submental liposuction doesn’t rewind or stop aging, so your results may slowly disappear as you age.
