What is Chin Liposuction

Chin liposuction (submental liposuction) is a specialized procedure to remove excess fat under the chin and sculpt a sharper jawline. It's an effective double chin removal method for patients who struggle with fullness beneath the chin despite diet and exercise.

During the procedure, Dr. Elliot Heller, MD uses a tiny cannula (thin tube) to gently suction out unwanted fat through small, hidden incisions. The result is a smoother neck contour and improved facial profile often described as a subtle 'jawline lift'.

Because it directly removes fat cells, the improvement is typically permanent; fat won't return to that area as long as you maintain your weight. Dr. Heller performs chin liposuction using advanced techniques, including laser liposuction (SmartLipo) and even Renuvion® J-Plasma (helium plasma) for skin tightening to ensure natural-looking results with minimal trauma.

As a certified surgeon with over 20 years of experience, Dr. Heller prides himself on achieving a contoured jawline that still looks like you, only more defined.

Are You a Candidate for Chin Liposuction?

Chin liposuction is ideal for men and women who have stubborn fat under the chin or along the upper neck that creates the appearance of a double chin or soft jawline. Good candidates typically:

Double Chin Concerns

Have a noticeable double chin or fullness under the chin that they wish to eliminate for a better jawline contour.

Healthy Weight

Are at a healthy, stable weight. Chin lipo is best for spot fat reduction; it's not a weight loss method. The ideal patient is close to their ideal body weight, perhaps with just a small pocket of fat that won't budge.

Good Skin Elasticity

Have good skin elasticity. This procedure relies on the skin's ability to retract once the fat is removed. Patients in their 20s-40s usually have good elasticity, but Dr. Heller will assess your skin.

Permanent Solution

Prefer a permanent fat removal solution with quick results. If you want to avoid multiple sessions of injections or freezing treatments, chin lipo's one-and-done approach is attractive.

General Health

Are non-smokers (or willing to quit before surgery) and in general good health, to support proper healing.

How the Chin Liposuction Procedure Works

Chin liposuction is typically performed as an outpatient procedure and usually takes under an hour. This quick, safe procedure can dramatically improve your profile.

Local Anesthesia

Dr. Heller uses local anesthesia with sedation, so you'll be awake but comfortable (general anesthesia is rarely needed).

Tiny Incision

He makes a tiny incision under the chin (or sometimes just behind the earlobe) and inserts a thin cannula to gently suction out the unwanted fat.

Advanced Technology

Using precise, controlled movements, Dr. Heller sculpts a smoother neck. He can also use laser liposuction (SmartLipo) or Renuvion (J-Plasma) device for skin tightening.

Quick Closure

Once the desired contour is achieved, the small incision is closed with a bandage. The incision is only a few millimeters, so any scar is minimal and hidden.

Procedure Details

Duration: Under 1 hour

Anesthesia: Local with sedation

Setting: Outpatient procedure

Testimonials

N.M.

I am truly happy with my chin liposuction results! I am 30 days post op and looking at my before pictures today truly amazed me. Dr. Heller did an incredible job. I could not be any happier.

G.G.

Went in for double chin liposuction. It's only been two weeks and I'm loving the outcome already. Minimal swelling compared to others on YouTube who received the same procedure, and differences can be seen right away.

V.G.

Dr. Elliott Heller showed me 3 options for my chin implant consultation. When the day came I could tell through the bandages already! People thought I lost weight! My face is slimmer because my chin is extended.

Benefits of Chin Liposuction

Discover the transformative benefits of chin liposuction and how it can enhance your natural facial contours.

Eliminates a Double Chin

Removes the pocket of fat under the chin that causes a double chin (or turkey neck), creating a better-defined angle between your chin and neck.

Enhanced Jawline Contour

Reveals the natural structure of your jawline and upper neck, giving you a sharper, more youthful profile. Many patients even say they look like they've lost weight after healing.

Quick Procedure, Lasting Results

The surgery is brief (often under 1 hour) and results are long-lasting. Once fat cells are removed, they're gone for good as long as you maintain a stable weight.

Minimally Invasive

Only a tiny incision is needed, so there are virtually no visible scars. Chin lipo is far less invasive than a surgical neck lift, meaning minimal discomfort and downtime.

Boosted Confidence

A sleeker neck and defined jawline can significantly improve self-esteem. Patients often feel more attractive and confident in photos and daily life after eliminating their double chin.

Recovery and Results: What to Expect

Recovery from chin liposuction is generally quick and comfortable. You will go home the same day and receive detailed aftercare instructions from Dr. Elliot Heller.

Compression Garment

(First few days)

You'll wear a chin strap bandage for the first few days (and at night for about a week) to reduce swelling and support your new chin contour.

  • Reduces swelling effectively
  • Supports healing tissues
  • Comfortable to wear

Minimal Downtime

(24 hours)

Most patients return to work and light activities after 24 hours. Avoid strenuous exercise for about 1–2 weeks.

  • Back to work quickly
  • Light activities allowed
  • Exercise restriction temporary

Swelling & Bruising

(1-2 weeks)

Expect swelling for a few days and possibly mild bruising for up to a week or two. Any bruising is usually minor and clears up within 1–2 weeks.

  • Swelling subsides quickly
  • Minimal bruising
  • Natural healing process

Final Results

(30 days)

You'll see improvement once initial swelling goes down (around one week). Your jawline will continue to refine over the next 2–3 weeks as swelling subsides.

  • Gradual improvement
  • Refined jawline
  • Long-lasting results

Pain Level

Minimal

Chin Liposuction FAQs

How long have you been performing chin liposuction surgeries?

'I've been performing chin liposuction for over 20 years,' says Dr. Elliot Heller. With decades of experience, he has refined his technique to maximize results and minimize recovery time.

How many double chin or jawline contouring procedures have you performed?

'I've done over 1,000 procedures. I typically perform one or two every week,' notes Dr. Heller. This level of experience gives patients peace of mind knowing they are in the hands of a highly skilled surgeon who performs the procedure regularly.

What makes your approach different from other plastic surgeons?

We address all three layers of the chin: the muscle, the skin, and the fat. Many surgeons just remove fat, but that can leave a loose neck. By treating each layer carefully, we achieve natural and long-lasting results, explains Dr. Heller. This comprehensive approach is one of the reasons his patients consistently report looking refreshed rather than overdone.

Which techniques do you use most for chin liposuction?

We use laser liposuction, which removes fat and tightens the skin at the same time. This avoids the common issue of a skinny, loose neck after fat removal, says Dr. Heller. By combining fat removal and skin tightening, he ensures patients leave with a sculpted and youthful profile.

How long does the chin liposuction procedure take?

Usually about an hour, says Dr. Heller. Most patients are surprised by how quickly it can be done and how soon they can return to normal activities.

What age range do patients usually fall into?

Patients range from 18 years old to senior citizens. Everyone is concerned about their neckline, and chin lipo offers a very minimal recovery, explains Dr. Heller. This wide age range shows how versatile and accessible the procedure is for different stages of life.

What is the cost range for chin liposuction?

It usually ranges from $2,500 to $4,000, depending on the amount of fat, skin type, and weight,' notes Dr. Heller. During your consultation, you'll receive a personalized quote based on your anatomy and goals.

Will there be visible scars?

There's no scarring. The incision is tiny and hidden, so most patients can't even find it once healed, reassures Dr. Heller. His careful technique ensures the outcome looks natural and discreet.
