Chin Liposuction
Overview
Chin (submental) liposuction is a surgical procedure that may be considered to remove small volumes of fat from under the chin and upper neck in selected patients.
Suitability depends on fat distribution, skin quality, and underlying anatomy.
A consultation is required to discuss whether liposuction, skin‑tightening procedures, or other options are more appropriate.
All surgery results in scars, and results vary.
Add volume to breasts

Who Should Not Undergo This Procedure
This procedure/treatment may not be appropriate if you:
- You have significant medical conditions that increase surgical/anaesthetic risk.
- You are unable to cease nicotine use where clinically required.
- You have unrealistic expectations about outcomes or symmetry.
Surgical Techniques & Approaches
- Small access incisions: planned to minimise visibility where possible.
- Conservative contouring: approach depends on anatomy and safety considerations.
- Adjunct procedures (selected cases): may include skin excision or other options if laxity is significant.
Your clinician/surgeon will explain the recommended approach and expected trade‑offs during consultation.
Anesthesia
May be performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia, depending on extent and patient factors.
Pre-Operative Preparation
- Medication and supplement review, including anything that can increase bleeding risk (as advised).
- Nicotine cessation for the recommended period before and after treatment/surgery (if applicable).
- Planning time off work, transport, and at-home support (where relevant).
- Fasting instructions prior to anaesthesia (if applicable).
- Pre-operative assessments/tests as advised by your treating team.
Recovery Process
Bruising, swelling, and temporary numbness are common. A compression garment may be recommended. Most swelling improves over weeks, with final contour potentially taking longer. Risks include bleeding, infection, scarring, contour irregularity, seroma, skin laxity, nerve injury (rare), and the possibility of revision surgery.
