Chin and neck liposuction in San Diego

Chin liposuction can enhance jawline definition, reduce the appearance of a double chin, and improve facial balance. Patients often experience a slimmer, more contoured lower face and neck. When performed on appropriately selected patients, results are long-lasting with stable weight.

Ideal candidates for chin liposuction are individuals with excess fat under the chin who have good skin elasticity. Candidates should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations. In cases of significant skin laxity, additional skin tightening or surgical procedures may be recommended for optimal results.

Chin liposuction targets the submental area beneath the chin and may extend along the jawline and upper neck to improve contour and definition.

Chin liposuction is performed through a small, discreet incision, typically placed beneath the chin. A fine cannula is used to gently remove excess fat while preserving surrounding structures. The procedure may be performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia, depending on patient preference, comfort, and whether it is combined with other procedures. Recovery is generally well tolerated, with gradual improvement as swelling resolves and contours refine over time.
