Liposuction under the chin for a cleaner jawline and neck, through a tiny hidden incision.

What is double chin liposuction?

Double chin liposuction (also called chin or submental liposuction) removes stubborn fat from under the chin and along the jawline. Through a tiny incision hidden under the chin, a thin tube (cannula) is used to remove the fat and shape the area.

The result is a clearer angle between the chin and the neck and a more defined jawline. It works best for fat that stays even when you're at a healthy weight.

What's causing your double chin?

A double chin isn't always fat. Before recommending anything, your surgeon looks at what is actually causing it:

Fat under the chin, with firm skin: liposuction is usually the right treatment.

Loose or sagging neck skin: removing fat alone can leave the skin looser. A mini facelift or facelift, which tightens the neck, usually gives a better result.

A small or receding chin: a short chin makes the area under it look fuller. Adding projection to the chin, for example with chin filler, may help, alone or with liposuction.

Overall body weight: if your weight changes a lot, the area under the chin will too. A stable weight comes first.

This is why we ask for a side photo before your consultation.

Is it right for you?

Double chin liposuction may suit you if:

you have a fuller area under the chin that hasn't changed with diet or exercise

your neck skin is still reasonably firm

you are at a stable weight and in good general health

Your surgeon

Your procedure is performed by a specialist in Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery. You can find your surgeon's profile, qualifications and experience on the Our Doctors page.

You'll speak with your surgeon in your online consultation, before anything is booked.

How it's done

Anaesthesia: local anaesthetic with sedation, or general anaesthetic if combined with other procedures.

Duration: about 30 to 60 minutes.

Incision: a few millimetres long, in the natural crease under the chin. Sometimes a tiny incision behind each earlobe is also used.

Afterwards: a chin strap is worn to support the skin as it settles.

Double chin liposuction alongside other procedures

Because it is short and leaves almost no scar, double chin liposuction is often added to another facial procedure, with one anaesthetic and one recovery:

With buccal fat removal: slimming the lower cheeks and the area under the chin together refines the lower face from both sides.

With jawline or chin filler: removing fat under the chin while adding definition to the chin and jaw gives a clearer profile. Filler is usually done once swelling has settled.

With a facelift or mini facelift: where there is both fat and loose skin, the fat is removed during the lift for a cleaner neck.

Your surgeon will recommend only what your face needs.

Recovery: what to expect

Days 1–3: swelling, tightness and some bruising under the chin and along the jaw.

Week 1: wear the chin strap as advised. Most people return to light daily activities within a few days.

Weeks 2–3: most visible swelling has gone; most people are back to work and social life.

Months 2–3: the skin settles and the final contour becomes visible.

The area may feel firm or numb for a few weeks. This is normal and improves gradually.

Risks you should know about

Swelling and bruising: common, and settle over a few weeks.

Uneven contour: small irregularities can happen and usually improve as the area settles.

Loose skin: if the skin doesn't tighten enough after the fat is removed. This is why skin quality is checked beforehand.

Temporary numbness under the chin.

Nerve injury: a small nerve branch that moves the lower lip runs along the jawline. Temporary weakness of the lower lip is uncommon; permanent injury is rare.

Your surgeon will go through your personal risks with you before you decide.

Is it permanent?

The fat cells that are removed don't come back. Remaining fat cells can still grow if you gain weight, and the skin of the neck continues to age. Keeping a stable weight helps you keep your result.

Will there be a scar?

The incision is only a few millimetres long and sits in the crease under the chin, so it is very hard to see once healed.

How long do I need to wear the chin strap?

Usually all the time for the first week, then at night for a few more weeks. Your surgeon will confirm your plan.

Is it a weight loss treatment?

No. It removes a localised area of fat to improve your profile. It is not a substitute for weight loss.

When will I see the result?

You'll see an improvement once the swelling settles after a few weeks. The final result is visible after about two to three months.

Can I fly after the procedure?

Yes. Most patients fly home after their check-up, usually on day 4.

Can someone come with me?

Yes, and we recommend it. Your companion can stay with you at the hotel.
