Introduction

Introduction to Submental Liposuction (Chin Liposuction)

Excess fat under the chin—sometimes called a double chin—can be frustrating and tough to get rid of, even with diet and exercise.

At A New You Plastic Surgery in Chicago, IL, submental liposuction (also known as chin lipo) offers a refined and lasting solution. This minimally invasive procedure targets the fatty pocket beneath the chin to create a sharper, more youthful neck and jawline.

Dr. Rajendra Shah and Dr. Samir Shah specialize in facial contouring techniques that deliver elegant, natural-looking outcomes for patients of all ages.

What is a Submental Liposuction?

Submental liposuction is a cosmetic procedure we offer our Chicago area clients that removes excess fat from the area directly beneath the chin and along the upper neck. Using a thin cannula and gentle suction, Dr. Samir Shah or Dr. Rajendra Shah will sculpt the area to create a more defined jawline and restore facial harmony.

Whether your goal is to remove a stubborn double chin or simply refine your profile, chin liposuction can provide transformative results with minimal downtime.

Who Are the Best Candidates For Submental Liposuction?

Ideal candidates for submental liposuction are individuals in the greater Chicago area who are in good general health and are bothered by excess fat beneath the chin. You should have good skin elasticity, which helps the skin retract smoothly after fat removal. This procedure is perfect for patients who want to enhance their jawline but aren’t ready for a full neck lift.

If you’re experiencing loose skin or sagging, Dr. Samir Shah and Dr. Rajendra Shah may recommend combining chin liposuction with other treatments to optimize your results. During your consultation, we’ll help determine if this procedure is right for you.

What Are the Benefits of Submental Liposuction?

The most obvious benefit of chin liposuction is a slimmer, more sculpted neckline—but the perks don’t stop there. Patients often look younger and feel more confident after the procedure.

It’s a highly customizable treatment that can be tailored to your anatomy and goals. Best of all, the incisions are small and well-hidden, so there’s little to no visible scarring.

What to Expect on the Day of Submental Liposuction Surgery

Most of our Chicago area patients undergo local anesthesia with light sedation, though general anesthesia may be recommended in certain cases. Dr. Samir Shah or Dr. Rajendra Shah will make a small incision under the chin, insert a fine cannula, and gently remove the targeted fat.

Submental Liposuction Recovery

You’ll need to wear a chin strap or compression garment for the next several days to help reduce swelling and promote skin tightening. Mild bruising, swelling, and soreness are normal and usually resolve within one to two weeks. Most patients return to work and social activities within a few days, although strenuous exercise should be avoided for about 2 weeks.

Dr. Samir Shah, Dr. Rajendra Shah, and our team will provide you with clear aftercare instructions and schedule follow-ups to monitor your healing progress.
