Chin liposuction, also known as submental liposuction or neck liposuction, is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess fat from the chin and neck area. It's typically done to improve the contour of the jawline and reduce the appearance of a double chin.
Chin liposuction is considered a relatively minor surgery and is often performed under local anesthesia with sedation, although general anesthesia may be used in some cases.
During your consultation, Dr. Nguyen will discuss the risks, benefits, and expected outcomes of chin liposuction, as well as whether it's the right option for achieving your desired aesthetic goals.

These are just a few commonly asked questions about chin liposuction. If you have specific concerns or questions, it's best to discuss them with Dr. Nguyen during a consultation.
Chin liposuction is a surgical procedure that uses a thin tube (cannula) to remove excess fat deposits from under the chin and neck area. It is often performed to enhance the definition of the jawline and achieve a more sculpted appearance.
Good candidates typically have:
The procedure is usually done under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. A small incision is made either under the chin or behind the ears. The cannula is then inserted to break up and suction out the excess fat cells.
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks involved, including infection, bleeding, and adverse reactions to anesthesia. Other potential side effects may include asymmetry, contour irregularities, or numbness in the treated area. Choosing a qualified, board-certified plastic surgeon such as Dr. Nguyen, can minimize these risks.
Results are typically noticeable once swelling subsides, usually within a few weeks to a few months. The final results may take several months to fully develop as the swelling completely resolves. Most patients experience improved definition in the jawline and a reduction in the appearance of a double chin.
The results can be long-lasting if a stable weight is maintained. While fat cells are permanently removed from the treated areas, significant weight gain can affect the remaining fat cells in other areas of the body.
Non-surgical alternatives, such as injectable treatments (like Kybella) or energy-based procedures (like CoolSculpting), can also reduce submental fat. However, these methods may require multiple sessions and may not achieve the same dramatic results as liposuction.
During your consultation, Dr. Nguyen will evaluate your chin and neck area, discuss your goals, explain the procedure in detail, and review your medical history to determine if you are a suitable candidate for chin liposuction.
Before deciding on chin liposuction or any cosmetic procedure, it's crucial to have a thorough consultation to ensure it's the right option for achieving your desired aesthetic goals.
