Chin Liposuction

Redefine Your Jawline

Submental fat (fat under the chin) can be the most frustrating to deal with. For many people, diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes have little to no effect on it. Chin liposuction does, though. A single treatment can tighten and enhance your jawline definition with minimal downtime. Dr. Sohrab offers tailored chin liposuction treatments for patients at her practice in Connecticut, including for patients from Stamford, Darien, White Plains, and Westchester County.

What Is Chin Liposuction?

Chin liposuction surgically removes stubborn fat under the chin. This submental fat may build up due to genetics or weight fluctuations, but it typically resists any lifestyle-related efforts to get rid of it. The resulting double chin can get in the way of feeling fully at ease and confident in your facial appearance. Chin liposuction gets rid of that fat in a single session, tightening and defining your jawline. The procedure involves liquifying and removing precise amounts of fat from under the chin.

Our Chin Liposuction Options

  • Traditional Chin Liposuction: Uses traditional liposuction methods to remove fat from beneath the chin. Ideal for patients with mild to moderate submental fullness who do not need tightening.
  • Laser Chin Liposuction: Uses a laser to break down fat before removal, providing additional skin tightening benefits. It can be useful for patients with more submental fullness who would benefit from additional tightening.

What Is a Chin Liposuction Session Like?

Chin liposuction is typically a quick and mild procedure experience. A typical session should take between 30 and 60 minutes. After the surgery, you can even drive yourself home, though having someone drive you is usually much better.

Each procedure is tailored to your individual needs, but key elements remain the same. Some of the core factors of a chin liposuction procedure include:

  • We use minimally invasive techniques that result in a faster and milder recovery.
  • You will only need local anesthesia, which is safer than general anesthetic.
  • All incisions are kept to a minimum and closed carefully after surgery.

Chin Liposuction FAQs

Am I a Candidate for Chin Liposuction?

Though chin liposuction is a surgical procedure, it is milder. That means it is open to a wider patient pool than more invasive techniques. Dr. Sohrab meets with each patient to evaluate their case, goals, and preferences. Based on this consultation, she can recommend suitable paths forward. Some of the traits for a good candidate for chin liposuction include:

  • Having excess fat beneath the chin or jawline
  • Being in overall good health
  • Having good skin elasticity
  • Currently not smoking

Is There a Recovery Period?

Though milder, chin liposuction still does require some downtime and involves a recovery period. We gladly see patients for follow-up appointments to track their recovery and provide additional recommendations. Dr. Sohrab also provides comprehensive instructions on how to manage swelling and promote smooth healing after surgery.

Key things to know about recovering after chin liposuction include:

  • Expect to take about 1 week of downtime away from work and your normal routine.
  • Swelling, bruising, and discomfort are all normal. They are most notable in the first couple of days after surgery, and then they gradually improve.
  • Over-the-counter pain relievers are typically enough to manage pain and discomfort.

When Can I See the Results?

After chin liposuction, that fat is gone right away. However, it might not seem like it due to the swelling. Give your body rest and follow your aftercare instructions, and then you will see the swelling lessen. Typically, enough swelling fades after a week for patients to start seeing their results. From there, your results should only improve. As minor residual swelling fades over the coming weeks, your tissues will settle into place and reveal your full results.

How Long Do the Results Last?

Chin liposuction results last for years. Once those fat cells have been removed, they are gone. Period. However, bodily changes can still happen over time. Aging and weight fluctuations can still influence the under-chin area. Fortunately, you can take steps to keep your facial contours looking at their best, including:

  • Maintain a stable weight.
  • Utilize nonsurgical skin rejuvenation treatments.
  • Stay hydrated and healthy.
  • Avoid habits that age you (e.g., smoking, excess alcohol).
