    Chin Liposuction NYC Chin Fat Removal

    Chin liposuction in NYC removes stubborn fat under the chin and along the jawline to create a smoother, more defined profile. It works best for fat that does not respond to diet and exercise, and it is a good fit when the skin still has good elasticity. At Millennial Plastic Surgery in Midtown Manhattan, Dr. David Shokrian evaluates your anatomy and goals to determine whether chin liposuction is right for you.

    What is Chin Liposuction?

    Chin liposuction removes excess fat from beneath the chin, commonly referred to as a double chin or submental fat, and along the jawline to improve facial contour and create a sharper profile. It is also referred to as submental liposuction.

    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 suctions out fat through small, discreet incisions.

    Clients’ Testimonials

    I did chin lipo at millennial. From day one I was impressed with the cleanliness and organization of the office. The staff is professional and relatable. They were accommodating to my needs and schedule. They are excellent at follow ups. Working with Sofia was a pleasure. Everything leading up to a surgery can be nerve racking and I felt like I was in good hands.

    Who Is a Good Candidate for Chin Fat Removal?

    You may consider chin fat removal 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, or your double chin is due to genetics.
    • You want a more defined neckline and jawline.

    Am I a Good Candidate For Chin Liposuction?

    You may be a good candidate for chin liposuction if:

    • 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.
    • Your concern is mainly fat and not loose, sagging skin or muscle banding, and your skin still has good elasticity.
    • You do not smoke or are ready to quit smoking before and after surgery.

    Chin liposuction does not tighten skin significantly or reshape bone. Dr. David Shokrian assesses your skin quality, fat distribution, and overall facial balance. 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

    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.

    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.
    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.

    What Are the Risks of Chin Liposuction?

    Risks include swelling, bruising, uneven contours, asymmetry, numbness, fluid collection, infection, loose skin after fat removal, and the possible need for a touch-up procedure. Your surgeon reviews these risks with you before surgery.

    Can a Botched Chin Liposuction be Corrected?

    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. Revision procedures can sometimes be more complex than the original surgery.

    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 expertise of the surgeon
    • Facility or hospital fee
    • The amount of fat being removed
    • 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.

    Is 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. At Millennial Plastic Surgery, we offer flexible payment plans and third-party financing options.
