Highly recommend for their exceptional sMervice and commitment to their clients.
What is Chin Liposuction?
Chin liposuction is a simple, minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that removes excess fat from beneath the chin, commonly referred to as a double chin or submental fat, and along the jawline to reshape the chin, improve facial contour, and create a sharper profile. It is also referred to as submental liposuction.
Over the years, it has become a popular treatment for effectively targeting stubborn fat in this area, helping elevate the overall shape and appearance of the lower face. Liposuction is a well-established technique used to remove localized fat deposits that do not respond to diet and exercise, by reducing the number of fat cells in the treated area.
The procedure is performed using a thin tube called a cannula, which gently suctions out fat through small, discreet incisions. The goal is to reduce fullness under the chin, caused by submental fat, and refine the natural structure of the face.

Why Should You Consider Chin Fat Removal?
Having a double chin makes you look obese and aged even when you are at an ideal weight. While being overweight can lead to a double chin, genetics and other reasons are also strong factors. If you feel self-conscious about the appearance of your neck and chin, you will benefit from chin fat removal through liposuction.
You should consider a chin fat removal procedure if:
- You are naturally thin, but you have a double chin, which affects your entire facial profile.
- Your neck looks shorter, wider, or less visible.
- You have stubborn fat deposits under your chin that do not respond much to diet or exercise.
- Your double chin is due to genetics.
- You want to attain a sculpted and more well-defined neckline.
- You want to increase your jawline definition.
- You want the confidence boost that comes with knowing you are looking good.
- You want to maintain your looks for your job and occupation.
Submental liposuction is the best way to get rid of a double chin in a single visit and enhance your appearance in the least amount of time, with fewer risks or complications.
Am I a Good Candidate For Chin Liposuction?
Determining your eligibility for chin liposuction depends on several factors, like your skin elasticity, overall health, and the underlying cause of fullness under the chin.
A chin liposuction may be the best option if:
- You are self-conscious about the appearance of your neck, chain, and face.
- You are in good health and do not have any medical conditions that could prevent you from undergoing surgery, such as bleeding disorders, high blood pressure, heart disease, or cancer.
- You have reached or are near a stable, healthy weight.
- You have excess fat cells around your neck that you wish to have permanently removed.
- Your concern is mainly fat and not loose, sagging skin or muscle banding.
- Your skin still has good elasticity, and you do not suffer from sagging skin.
- You do not smoke or are ready to quit smoking before and after surgery to reduce the risk of infection or excessive scarring.
- You have realistic expectations about results.
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or have no plans for future pregnancy.
Chin liposuction is great for refining and contouring, but it does not tighten skin significantly or reshape bone. Dr. David Shokrian will assess your skin quality, fat distribution, and overall facial balance to recommend the most effective approach for removing your chin fat. If you have loose skin, he may suggest a mini neck lift or a full face lift after the fat is removed from your neck.

What to Expect During a Chin Liposuction Consultation?
Your consultation with Dr. David Shokrian and Dr. Mohamed Elfar is the first step toward achieving a more refined and sculpted chin appearance. It helps determine whether chin liposuction is the most suitable option for enhancing your chin and facial profile.
During your appointment, the surgeons will carefully review your medical history, general health, current medications, and lifestyle factors. They will also carry out a thorough assessment of your face and chin while discussing your concerns and desired outcomes. Based on this evaluation, a personalized treatment plan will be developed to ensure safe, natural-looking, and well-balanced outcomes that align with your aesthetic goals. If there is minimal fat under the chin, they may recommend non-surgical alternatives.
You will also receive a detailed explanation of the procedure, including what to expect before, during, and after treatment, with the potential benefits and risks. This ensures you feel informed and confident in making decisions about your health.
The consultation is your opportunity to ask questions, and learn how chin liposuction can achieve your goals*.

What Happens During a Chin Liposuction Procedure?
- You will be given anesthesia to ensure you remain comfortable and pain-free throughout the procedure.
- The medical team will prepare the area being operated on by cleaning and marking it for liposuction.
- The surgeon will make small, discreet incisions near your hairline or ear to minimize visible scarring.
- A cannula is then used to gently remove excess fat, sculpting the chin and jawline for a smoother, more balanced appearance.
- If you are combining a neck lift with chin liposuction, excess fat and skin will be removed from your neck, and the neck muscles will be tightened.
- The incisions will be closed, and a bandage will be applied, using a special chin strap to support the area and reduce swelling.
- A chin liposuction procedure usually takes 30 to 45 minutes. Once the procedure is complete, you will be moved to a recovery room where a medical team will monitor you as you wake up from anesthesia.
Chin liposuction is typically an outpatient procedure, which means you can go home the same day. You will be discharged once the medical team is satisfied with your condition and recovery.
Chin Liposuction Recovery and Results
Chin liposuction is a non-invasive procedure, and recovery is typically straightforward and relatively quick. Most patients can return to light activities within a few days. Mild swelling, bruising, and tightness under the chin are common during the first week but gradually improve over the next few weeks. It is important to rest, follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions, and wear a supportive chin strap to reduce swelling and promote proper healing.
Most of the initial swelling subsides within 1 to 2 weeks, and you can start with normal daily activities. However, it is important to avoid all strenuous activities, including pushing, pulling, and heavy lifting, as they can strain the incisions and increase the risk of swelling, bleeding, and scarring. Most patients can return to work after 2 to 3 weeks, depending on their recovery or as approved by your surgeon. However, if your job responsibilities involve significant physical effort or frequent speaking, you may require additional time off.
Noticeable improvements are visible within 3 to 6 weeks as swelling continues to decrease. By this time, you can resume your routine activities, including returning to full-time work and exercise. You will begin to see a more defined chin and jawline, which will give way to a more refreshed and contoured appearance. Final results usually become apparent within 2 to 3 months, with continued refinement over time.
You can look forward to long-lasting, even permanent results as long as you maintain a consistent weight after chin fat removal and adopt a healthier lifestyle, which includes good hydration, nutrient-rich foods, and routine exercise.
Can Chin Liposuction be combined with other facial procedures?
Chin liposuction can be safely combined with other facial procedures to enhance overall results and create a more balanced, cohesive appearance. While chin liposuction effectively removes excess fat, complementary treatments can further refine facial contours and address additional concerns.
Some of the common procedures paired with chin liposuction include:
These procedures can improve contour, restore volume, and address skin laxity for more comprehensive results.
Combining procedures also reduces the need for multiple procedures and streamlines recovery time. In some cases, having more than one procedure in a single session can be more cost-effective than having them performed separately. Your surgeon will evaluate your facial structure, skin quality, and aesthetic goals to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your desired outcome.

Can a Botched Chin Liposuction be Fixed?
Sometimes, chin liposuction may not deliver the expected results, resulting in uneven contours, residual fat, or an imbalanced appearance. The good news is that you do not have to live with these unsatisfactory results, as these concerns can often be improved with revision procedures.
Revision surgery can help address:
- Hard lumps
- Prolonged swelling
- Noticeable scars
- Uneven or loose skin on the neck
Depending on the issue, treatment options may include additional liposuction, skin tightening procedures, or complementary facial surgery to restore better definition and symmetry. Revision procedures can sometimes be more complex than the original surgery due to the degree of correction required.
Dr. Shokrian has extensive experience in facial procedures and revision surgeries. He carefully assesses each case to determine the most effective approach to refine and improve your results.
Prompt, reliable, and always delivers high-quality results.
How Much Does Chin Liposuction Cost?
Chin liposuction is not a one-size-fits-all approach, so the cost can vary depending on the amount of fat being removed, the extent of contouring required, and the complexity of the case.
Factors that can affect cost include:
- The exercise and expertise of the surgeon
- Your geographical location
- Facility or hospital fee
- The amount of fat being removed
- The area being covered with liposuction
- The technique used or advanced refining treatments
- Whether you choose to have other procedures at the same time
- Anesthesia
- Medications
Considering the factors that can impact the final price, an in-person consultation with your surgeon is essential. The surgeon will assess your needs and provide an accurate quote tailored to your individual treatment plan.

212-421-7123Is Chin Liposuction Covered By Insurance?
Chin liposuction is considered an elective cosmetic procedure, meaning it is performed to enhance appearance rather than address a medical necessity. Because of this, it is usually not covered by health insurance, and the patient pays out of pocket.
However, insurance may provide full or partial coverage in rare, exceptional cases if the procedure is deemed medically necessary, for example, when excess fat or tissue is causing a documented health issue that cannot be managed with conventional treatments. However, eligibility for coverage varies by provider and requires prior authorization and medical documentation. It is important to consult both your surgeon and insurance provider before scheduling your procedure.
At Millennial Plastic Surgery, we understand that paying for chin liposuction out of pocket, especially when combined with other procedures in a single payment, is not easy. We offer flexible payment plans and third-party financing options to make these treatments more accessible and affordable for everyone.
