Professional and efficient service that consistently delivers outstanding results.
What Is a Submentoplasty?
Submentoplasty is a big word for a relatively small procedure that can make a subtle, but significant change to your appearance. Simply put, a submentoplasty removes fat that collects beneath your chin, tightens up the skin of your upper neck, and gives your face a sleeker, more refined profile. It’s less invasive than a full face lift, and yet it can still provide the confidence boost you deserve while living your best life in NYC.
Whether the result of aging, weight changes or genetics, a sagging or drooping jawline makes you look older than you feel.
When you notice a sagging jawline, seek out an experienced plastic surgeon who knows what to do. Neck Contouring typically takes less than two hours, and you’ll be fully recovered in just a few weeks. It’s not a procedure that screams to the world that you’ve had work done, but one that’ll leave folks wondering what you’ve been up to that has you looking so fresh-faced and youthful.

What’s Behind a Sagging Jawline?
No matter how much you exercise and eat right, there are areas of your body that just don’t respond to your wishes to tighten up and fly right. New Yorkers of any age, sex and weight can have the appearance of a double chin or drooping jawline. Reasons for these problems include:
- Weight gain.
- Weight loss.
- Genetics.
- Age.
Weight gain.
Excess weight can cause fat to collect in your upper neck area, around your jawline and below your chin.
Weight loss.
On the other side of the coin, rapid weight loss can leave your skin loose and hanging below your chin, taking on that dreaded turkey neck look.
Genetics.
Your genes may play a role in a sagging jawline. Some face shapes and bone structures highlight a profile that’s not as sharp, giving the appearance of a sloping neck or receding chin.
Age.
Advancing age takes a toll on just about every part of your body. Your jawline and upper neck are no exceptions. With age, your skin loses some of its elasticity, and gravity starts to win the battle with once-perky features.
Neck contouring surgery is ideal for you if you don’t need a full face lift, but want to sculpt a sleeker neckline. Dr. Shokrian takes into consideration the various factors that led to you seeking out a submentoplasty. He helps you envision your ideal jawline, and together, you create a plan to shape your new profile during your consultation in his Midtown Manhattan practice.
We can’t wait to meet you! We offer comprehensive consultations with Dr. Shokrian, and his team both virtually and in person.
212-421-7123What Can I Expect from a Submentoplasty Surgery?
Dr. Shokrian customizes the submentoplasty to your anatomy and goals. He removes excess fat beneath the chin and jawline and then tightens the muscles of the upper neck to refine the contour between your chin and neck. Skin is typically not trimmed, and the incisions are small and discreet.
The procedure usually takes less than two hours and is performed at our Midtown Manhattan practice with local anesthesia. Before you go home with a friend or family member driving you, you receive instructions on incision care and pain management.
Submentoplasty Recovery: What to Expect
Recovery varies from person to person. In general:
- First days. Swelling and bruising are normal. Rest with your head elevated and limit neck movement as your surgeon directs.
- Incision care. Change dressings as directed and keep the incisions clean and dry. Call our office right away if you notice redness, increasing swelling, drainage, or a fever.
- Return to activity. Many patients can return to work before they are fully recovered, but avoid strenuous activity, such as running or heavy lifting, until your surgeon clears you.
- Avoid nicotine. Smoking and nicotine slow healing and can affect your results. Stop at least two weeks before and after surgery, or longer if your surgeon advises.
- Final results. Swelling fades gradually over the next few weeks, and the contour may continue to refine over several months.

What Are the Costs Involved with Submentoplasty Surgery?
Being cost-conscious is smart, and most insurance companies won’t pay for a surgical procedure that isn’t considered medically necessary. Unless your health is being compromised by your sagging jawline, removing the fat stored there is likely your financial responsibility.
It’s difficult to put a price on quality care, and you get only the best at Millennial Plastic Surgery. If you’re thinking about reshaping your chin and jawline, get in touch with Dr. Shokrian today. Let them help you make your dreams of a smoother, sleeker jawline a reality.
