What does the procedure involve?
Submental liposuction reduces the fat located beneath the chin to improve the transition between the face and neck. It can be performed on its own or integrated into a broader neck-rejuvenation plan.
When do we recommend it?
- Accumulation of submental fat.
- Loss of the jaw-to-neck angle.
- A less defined profile despite a stable weight.
- Cases with good skin elasticity, or those that can be combined with other techniques.
Anatomical assessment
Not every double chin is just fat
A double chin may have a fatty, skin or muscular component. Correct planning starts with knowing which one predominates.

Frequently asked questions
Does it work if I have skin laxity?
It depends on the degree. When skin or muscle dominates the problem, another surgery or a combination of techniques may be required.
Can it be combined with a neck lift?
Yes, when the double chin is part of more global neck ageing.
