Submental (Chin) Liposuction in Atlanta, GA
Liposuction is a widely sought-after procedure. In fact, research shows that nearly half a million liposuction procedures were performed in 2021 alone. When it comes to stubborn fat around the chin, you can seek a submental liposuction procedure. Let’s take a look at how submental liposuction works and whether or not it’s right for you.
What is chin liposuction?
Although there are a number of ways that fat can be removed from the chin, submental chin liposuction tends to be one of the most effective. Not only does it help to reduce fat content in the chin, but it delivers aesthetic changes that many people are looking for. One common reason people seek out chin lipo is due to a double chin, which can be caused due to a few extra pounds around the chin and neck areas.
It should be noted that you don’t necessarily have to be overweight for a double chin to form. All it takes is a little submental fat under the chin, and you may start to see a difference in its shape. A submental chin liposuction procedure only takes around 30 minutes and includes a concise step-by-step process to deliver results.
Who’s Considered a Good Candidate for Submental Chin Lipo?
Chin lipo is a viable solution for many individuals regardless of age or weight, but a few factors make someone an excellent candidate. Those who have great skin elasticity, stable weight, are non-smokers, and are in good health are optimal candidates. It's also vital that you follow any aftercare instructions provided by your surgeon. Fat removal under the chin can be a rather sensitive part of the body, so it's crucial you take care of the incision area.
You should also disclose any important medical information that may conflict with your procedure. Always consult your options with your surgeon before diving into a procedure because the outcome of your procedure will be unique to your specific needs.

Chin Liposuction Surgery and recovery
The submental chin liposuction procedure includes the following steps:
- Your surgeon will mark out the treatment area and then apply local anesthesia
- An incision is made under the chin
- The surgeon removes the unwanted fat with liposuction
- After fat removal, the incision is closed with dissolving sutures
- The incision area is then covered to ensure proper healing, which takes around 7-8 days
This is just a brief overview of what you can expect during the surgery, but each patient's circumstance may require more or less fat to be removed. Submental chin lipo sounds relatively simple, but it's important to have a clear grasp of what the costs look like. We'll also go over who's considered to be a valid candidate.
Cost of Chin Liposuction
Similar to many cosmetic procedures, costs are bound to vary. However, most chin lipo procedures cost between $2,000 and $10,000. This price range can vary due to a number of factors, such as the surgeon you’re working with, location, and the medical tools used.
It’s understandable to look to insurance for help with the procedure’s cost, but unfortunately, they won’t be much help as chin lipo is a cosmetic procedure. This isn’t to say we won’t work with you to ensure you can handle the cost of your surgery, as payment plans are common for surgical procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions
CHIN LIPOSUCTION FAQ
The term refers to the process of removing excess fat from different areas around the neck and chin. This is done with the help of a small incision that allows fat to be removed, and the main purpose here is to provide a more refined chin and jawline.
It’s also a minimally invasive solution to make cosmetic adjustments, and it’s a safe procedure that comes with minimal downtime. Many people in their 40s, 50s, and 60s look into the procedure as it does a great job of reducing the natural effects of aging. Others who struggle with weight loss can also benefit from the procedure.
Although there are numerous cosmetic procedures that focus on the aesthetics of the neck and chin, submental lipo focuses on submental fat specifically. It can help with the aesthetics of the neck, but the surgery is utilized to refine areas in and around the chin.
Many people seek out this procedure, whether they're dealing with excess fat around the chin or even sagging skin. It's a viable solution to refine the shape and aesthetic of the chin without having to dive into too much of a financial commitment, discomfort, or downtime from normal activities.
Depending on how much work was done during your procedure, recovery should only take one to three weeks at most. Your health also plays a factor in your healing process, and your surgeon will provide you with aftercare instructions to support your recovery.
It's essential to note that for the first few days, you'll want to avoid work or any rigorous activity. You'll feel more discomfort than any pain, and any bruising or swelling should subside within a few days. For the main recovery process to complete, it usually takes around five to seven days.
