Most people think about losing inches off their torso when they hear the term liposuction. However, the surgery also applies to the chin, jaw, and neck area and will help thin your face’s appearance. In fact, many feel double chin liposuction can take years off their face and give the overall appearance of looking slimmer. Chin liposuction is a type of cosmetic surgery that can enhance facial appearance by removing excess fat from the chin and jawline areas. Chin liposuction work involves making small incisions and using a cannula to remove fat, resulting in a more defined jawline and improved facial contour.
With age, excess fat and excess skin sometimes accumulate on the chin and neck, creating a double chin or fat neck appearance. This accumulation leads to a double chin appearance, which can make the face look older and less defined. Neck fat removal or turkey neck removal and chin fat removal are performed highly effectively with micro liposuction, a minimally invasive procedure. The procedure lasts less than an hour and is performed on a day-case basis. Micro liposuction involves a small tube with a suction device at one end, gently removing fatty deposits by creating tiny incisions.
The micro liposuction treatment is the same as traditional liposuction but involves smaller incisions, which are about three to five millimetres in length, resulting in minimal scarring.
At Kensington Medical we perform the procedure under local anaesthesia. The benefit, it does not require extensive downtime. If you have been noticing a double chin or jowls, addressing a stubborn double chin, liposuction of the neck and jawline, or chin lipo, is an excellent option to consider.
A weak chin can affect facial harmony and balance, and may be addressed with chin liposuction or chin augmentation procedures to improve overall facial aesthetics and jawline definition.

Neck and chin liposuction is a cosmetic procedure aimed at removing excess fat from the neck and chin area, helping to reduce the appearance of a double chin and create a more sculpted profile. This surgical procedure targets unwanted fat deposits that can accumulate with age or genetics, often resulting in a less defined jawline. By using a thin tube called a cannula, the surgeon gently suctions out fat cells from the neck and chin, refining the contours of the face. The result is a more youthful appearance and improved definition in the neck and chin area. As a popular choice for those seeking to enhance their facial features, neck and chin liposuction offers a safe and effective way to address the appearance of a double chin and restore confidence.
A micro neck and chin liposuction is a procedure that is similar but less invasive than traditional liposuction and vaser chin liposuction surgery. It helps remove excess fat from the chin and jawline areas, and it requires less downtime. During micro neck and chin liposuction, how much fat can be removed depends on individual anatomy, but typically a few millilitres to several tablespoons of fat are taken out, which can significantly improve jawline definition and overall facial contour.
A micro neck and chin lipo can help you diminish the signs of ageing and remove excess fat from your neck, chin, and jawline. This procedure not only enhances the jawline but also improves the neck contour, providing a more defined and youthful appearance.
The procedure is minimally invasive and involves a small tube with a suction device.

A thorough consultation is an essential first step in your chin liposuction journey. During this initial meeting, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss your concerns about excess fat in the neck and chin area with an experienced cosmetic surgeon. The surgeon will carefully assess your facial structure, skin elasticity, and the amount of excess fat present to determine the most effective treatment plan for you. This personalized approach ensures that your chin liposuction procedure is tailored to your unique needs and aesthetic goals.
The consultation is also the perfect time to explore whether combining facial liposuction with other procedures, such as a neck lift, could help you achieve even more dramatic results. Your surgeon will explain the details of the chin liposuction procedure, outline the expected recovery time, and provide a clear breakdown of the chin liposuction cost, so you know exactly what to expect. This open dialogue allows you to ask any questions and address any concerns, ensuring you feel confident and well-informed before moving forward. By investing time in a comprehensive consultation, you set the stage for a successful outcome and a smoother, more satisfying experience.
The Neck and Chin Liposuction Consultation
Everything starts with a discussion between you and your surgeon: this is the pre-operative consultation, which is critical to the success of the operation. At Kensington Medical, we believe patients should get all the information they need before deciding whether to proceed with surgery. This is why patients who are considering an operation meet with the surgeon at least twice, sometimes more. This allows patients to fully explain to the surgeon what they want to achieve with surgery, ask questions and voice any concerns they may have.
The initial consultation usually takes place in person:
After the initial consultation:
The second consultation can be face-to-face or a zoom. Its purpose is as follows:
Of course, if you have further questions after the two consultations, additional consultations can be arranged, and the team at Kensington Medical is also available to help.

Facial contouring is the aim of chin liposuction, offering a transformative way to enhance your natural facial features and achieve a more defined jawline. By removing excess fat from the neck and chin through targeted fat removal, this cosmetic procedure can dramatically reduce the appearance of a double chin, sagging skin, and excess facial fat. Using a thin tube, your surgeon carefully suctions out unwanted fat cells, sculpting the neck and chin area for a refined, youthful neck contour.
The benefits of facial liposuction extend beyond simply removing excess fat. Double chin surgery helps create a balanced, harmonious facial profile, highlighting your best features and restoring confidence. Whether you’re looking to eliminate stubborn double chins or achieve a more sculpted look, facial contouring through chin liposuction offers a minimally invasive solution for lasting fat removal and a beautifully defined jawline.
Pre-operative Care
Once you have decided to proceed with surgery, we will schedule your procedure at one of our hospitals specialising in cosmetic surgery.
You will receive pre-operative instructions from us. In particular:
The neck and chin liposuction procedure is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to remove excess fat from the neck and chin area. This treatment is also commonly referred to as submental liposuction, a term used for procedures specifically targeting fat beneath the chin (double chin). Typically lasting around 1-2 hours, the procedure begins with the surgeon making small incisions in the targeted areas. Through these incisions, a cannula is inserted to suction out the excess fat cells. The procedure is usually performed under local anaesthetic, which numbs the area, ensuring that the patient remains comfortable and safe throughout. While some discomfort may be experienced, the minimally invasive nature of the procedure means that recovery is generally swift and straightforward.
Post-operative Care for Chin and Neck Liposuction
In order to get the best results from submental liposuction for double chin removal, the quality of aftercare is crucial.
You will spend a brief amount of time in the operating room (or recovery room) following your procedure. You will leave the hospital with a friend or a family member after the nursing staff is confident that you are fit to return home. It is preferable that you plan for someone to spend the first night after surgery with you at home. Although post-operative discomfort is typically minimal, you will be given painkillers just in case.
Once you have been discharged from the hospital, our nursing team will be available 24/7 to ensure your post-operative journey is comfortable and pain-free and to field any questions you may have.
You will be required to wear a compression garment around your head after the operation. This is because liposuction is in effect creating a honeycomb inside the skin, which the garment is compressing and pushing on, in order to facilitate skin retraction following the procedure. The garment must be worn all day, every day, for the first week and then at night for the next three months.
Your surgeon will see you a number of times in the weeks following your operation to monitor the facial skin and scars and to support you:
Bruising and swelling can last up to one month following this surgery.
Recovery from neck and chin liposuction is typically smooth and requires minimal downtime. Patients may experience some bruising, swelling, and discomfort in the treated area, but these symptoms usually subside within a few days. It’s essential to follow the surgeon’s instructions for aftercare, which may include wearing a chin compression garment to reduce swelling and support skin retraction during recovery, avoiding strenuous activities, and taking pain medication as directed. Patients can usually return to work within a few days of the procedure, but it may take several weeks for the full results to become apparent. Following these guidelines will help ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results.
Post-operative Instructions for Chin liposuction
Following your operation, our medical staff will provide you with specific aftercare recommendations, including when it is safe for you to resume daily activities such as washing, exercising, putting on makeup, driving, carrying heavy loads, travelling, etc. In order to minimise the likelihood of a post-operative complication, it is crucial that you carefully follow these directions.
Because exposure to the sun can result in scars, discolouration, and other undesirable side effects, protecting your face from the sun is vital. When outdoors, wear hats, and use umbrellas and sunscreen. It would also be preferable to refrain from strenuous exercise or activities involving significant facial movements until our medical staff at Kensington Medical have given you the all-clear.
The outcome of your chin liposuction will be optimised if you adhere to the advice of our medical staff and adopt measures to protect your face. A healthy lifestyle is also important, including good sleep, a balanced diet and plenty of fluid. This will facilitate your recovery and help the results of your surgery. It is advised to abstain from smoking and drinking both before and throughout the healing process.
As with any surgical procedure, neck and chin liposuction carries some risks and potential complications. These may include bleeding, infection, scarring, asymmetry, numbness or tingling, and skin irregularities. It’s essential to discuss these risks with your surgeon and follow their instructions carefully to minimize the risk of complications. Additionally, it’s crucial to choose a qualified and experienced surgeon to perform the procedure to ensure the best possible results.
It is also important to note that future weight gain can impact the longevity of your results, so maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle is recommended to preserve the benefits of the procedure.
By understanding the potential risks and taking the necessary precautions, you can achieve a successful outcome and enjoy the benefits of a more defined neck and chin contour.
The benefits of these procedures will last if the patient follows a healthy lifestyle. Neck and chin liposuction is a popular procedure for those at their ideal weight but may want to reduce some fat deposits in their neck and chin areas. Most patients see excellent results for seven to ten years or more, depending on how well they maintain their health.
Micro neck and chin lipo in London can be helpful for those wishing to address ageing issues and those who are interested in a neck lift or combined facelift. These procedures will not help you avoid gaining weight, and the excess facial fat will come back if the patient gains any weight after liposuction. Like traditional surgery, the results are permanent and should last seven to ten years at a minimum when the patient leads a healthy lifestyle.
What Are The Differences Between Scars With a Neck & Chin Liposuction?
Where are chin liposuction scars and neck liposuction scars located?
A neck and chin liposuction with a traditional incision is usually done with a small incision on the sides of the neck. The incisions are made in the natural folds under the chin.
These types of chin lipo scars usually fade over time but might be noticeable to those who are very close to you. The traditional neck and chin liposuction procedure often leads to bruising, typically lasting ten days, and patients can experience minimal bleeding.
The micro neck and chin liposuction procedure uses a tiny incision made in a natural fold under the chin. This type of chin lipo scar is considered less visible than other procedures because it'’s near the jawline, a natural part of the face. The micro-incision also reduces swelling, bruising, and bleeding during the procedure.
