Submental Liposuction

While there are many reasons for undergoing submental liposuction, the most common goal is to improve the appearance of the neck and jawline. “Submental” refers to the area under the chin. The gentle, precise removal of excess fat beneath the chin and on the upper neck can create a far more youthful appearance, boosting your feelings of self-confidence.

What is submental liposuction?

Submental liposuction, also known as "neck liposuction," is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess fat from the neck and under-chin area. It can be performed on people of all ages and is often used to treat conditions related to aging, weight gain, or genetics. Many people choose to get submental liposuction because they are unhappy with the appearance of their neck and chin area. When these areas become full of excess fat, they can make a person look older and heavier than they are. In addition, submental fat can be resistant to diet and exercise, making it difficult to achieve a slim, youthful appearance.

What is the recovery for submental liposuction?

Submental liposuction is usually performed as an outpatient procedure, meaning that patients can return home the same day as their surgery. The recovery from submental liposuction is typically quite short and relatively painless. Most patients report feeling sore and tender for a few days after the surgery, but this can be easily managed with over-the-counter pain medication. Swelling and bruising are also common side effects, but these usually resolve within two weeks. Within a month, most patients are completely healed and can see a significant improvement in their appearance.
