Chin Liposuction

What is Chin Liposuction?

Chin liposuction is a procedure that removes excess fat accumulated under the chin (submental area) and neck using special cannulas and vacuum technology. This method helps define the jawline and gives the face a younger, more balanced appearance. Chin liposuction is usually performed under local or sedation anesthesia and offers minimal scarring with a quick recovery.

How is Chin Liposuction Performed?

The area is sterilized and local or sedation anesthesia is administered. A small 2-3 mm incision is made under the chin. Through this incision, a thin cannula is used to vacuum out the excess fat. The procedure takes about 30-60 minutes. The incision is usually hidden in the natural crease under the chin, resulting in minimal scarring.

Patients can usually go home the same day. Mild swelling and bruising may occur in the first few days, but these subside quickly.
