Sculpt Your Ideal Profile

For decades, there have been slings, straps, and toning tools that claim to get rid of a double chin. While they are rarely effective, many people are willing to try them out if there’s just a chance to smooth out that stubborn, persistent pocket of fat under the chin. But this fat is often very difficult to get rid of even with the most dedicated exercise schedule and eating habits. This may be because of genetics or similar factors that make it nearly impossible to eliminate with external techniques. With Double Chin Removal via Liposuction, you can finally say goodbye to your double chin and see sculpted, contoured results.

What is Double Chin Removal?

Facial contouring is about more than just changing features—it's about refining facial balance and proportions to create a naturaAt ARC Plastic Surgery, double chin removal is performed via submental liposuction. This procedure effectively and permanently removes excess fat from under the chin for a smoother, contoured, more refined profile. Liposuction is performed by making tiny incisions under the chin area, inserting a small cannula, and suctioning out the fat cells, resulting in minimal to no scarring and very little downtime.

Double Chin Removal Benefits

Stubborn fat under the chin can be difficult to get rid of, even with exercise and healthy eating habits. Many people struggle with submental fat due to aging or simple genetics, and double chin removal can address this concern to produce a refined and youthful-looking chin profile. This procedure can improve submental fullness, the appearance of the jawline, and overall confidence. Miami, FL, double chin removal patients enjoy great benefits like:

  • Contoured, sculpted chin and upper neck
  • Improved definition in the jawline
  • Extremely minimal scarring 
  • Minimal recovery period, especially compared to open neck surgery

Double Chin Removal Candidates

This is an ideal treatment for patients who would like to eliminate submental fat and have sufficient skin elasticity but without significant loose skin in the area. Ideal candidates for double chin removal would like to see a more defined, tighter jawline and eliminate a double chin.

Candidates should be in good overall health, non-smokers, and close to their target weight to maintain stable outcomes. If there is mild skin laxity, liposuction can be combined with radiofrequency energy under the skin to enhance tightening with our Facetite system. Those with severe skin laxity are not good candidates for this treatment and may require a surgical neck lift. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding are not candidates for liposuction.

Consultation and Preparation

At a consultation, patients can expect to discuss their aesthetic goals, their health history, and what they are expecting to achieve with this procedure. Dr. White will take the time to get to know each patient to determine if this would be an ideal option and then create a personalized treatment plan that includes all necessary preparation instructions.

Your Double Chin Removal Procedure

Double chin removal usually lasts 30 minutes to an hour and starts with the application of local anesthetic or tumescent anesthesia in the treatment area. Sedation or general anesthesia could sometimes be used, depending on the patient. Once numb, small incisions will be made either under the chin or behind the ears, and a cannula will be inserted. Excess fat is gently removed through suction, and the chin is skillfully sculpted to achieve a more defined appearance.

Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

After this procedure, patients can expect to experience some mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising in the treatment area, but recovery is typically not extremely painful. Most patients can return to work or regular daily activities within a few days to a week, and optimal results are visible within one to three months.
