CHIN LIPOSUCTION

What is Chin Liposuction?

Chin liposuction, also known as submental liposuction or double chin liposuction, is a minimally invasive procedure that removes excess fat beneath the chin and along the jawline. Even patients who are healthy and fit may struggle with a double chin due to genetics, aging, or stubborn fat deposits that don't respond to diet and exercise.

Using precise techniques, Redlands based, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Todd C. Rau can sculpt the neck and chin area, creating a slimmer, more youthful profile.

Who is a Good Candidate for Chin Liposuction?

You may be an ideal candidate if you:

• Are in good overall health and a nonsmoker
• Have stubborn fullness under the chin despite healthy habits
• Are bothered by a double chin or lack of jawline definition
• Have skin with enough elasticity to contract after fat removal
• Have realistic expectations for improvement

Chin liposuction can benefit patients of all ages and genders. For some, it may be combined with other procedures such as chin implant or neck lift for enhanced results.

Consultation with Dr. Rau

During your consultation, Dr. Rau will assess your skin quality, fat distribution, and facial anatomy to determine if chin liposuction is right for you.

The Procedure

• Anesthesia : Often performed under local anesthesia for standalone treatment, though IV sedation or general anesthesia may be used if combined with other surgeries.
• Incision : Tiny, nearly invisible incisions (about 3mm) are made under the chin.
• Fat Removal : A thin cannula loosens and gently suctions out fat, sculpting a more defined jawline.
• Adjunct Options : In some cases, fat can be processed and re-injected into the chin to improve projection and create sharper contours.

Recovery & Results Timeline

• Week 1 : Mild swelling and bruising; keep activity limited. Most patients notice an early contour change within days.
• Week 2-3 (Month 1) : Swelling continues to improve; many patients return to work.
• Week 4-6 (Month 2) : Jawline definition becomes clearer as swelling resolves.
• Week 7-12 (Month 3) : Final refined results are visible as the skin tightens and collagen remodels.
• Most patients find chin liposuction recovery shorter and more comfortable than they expected.
