Reveal Your Natural Beauty
No one wants a double chin. But rarely can anything be done about it—except a surgery called chin liposuction or “chin lipo” for short.
A double chin (excess fat beneath the chin and along the neck) can result from genetics, weight fluctuations, or the natural aging process. Even when leading a healthy lifestyle, you can still have a double chin. However, for many, this stubborn fat affects self-esteem and confidence in photos or social interactions.
Chin lipo is an effective solution. If this sounds like something you may benefit from, contact us at 954-995-7930 to book an initial consultation with Dr. Sanam Zahedi, a female plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Surgery
Chin liposuction, often referred to as chin lipo or submental liposuction, is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess fat beneath the chin and jawline. This helps to contour the area and achieve a more defined neck and chin.
The procedure is great for addressing localized fat deposits that have not budged with any other method such as diet or exercise. Chin lipo is precise and minimally invasive. It focuses on refining the lower face to create a more proportional look and youthful appearance. Patients benefit from minimal downtime and long-lasting results.
You might be a good candidate for chin and neck liposuction if you struggle with excess fat under the chin that doesn’t go away despite your efforts to lose weight or sculpt your appearance. The procedure is ideal for those who feel their double chin detracts from their overall appearance and/or causes them to feel heavier and lack confidence.
Note that if you have excess skin in the neck and chin area, this may mean you should get a neck lift (or similar cosmetic surgery) and not remove unwanted fat alone. Chin liposuction surgery is only for excess neck fat. If you got chin lipo when you had excess skin on your neck, it would be a bit like getting stomach lipo when you really needed a tummy tuck to remove excess abdominal skin.
To qualify medically for this plastic surgery, you should be in good overall health, a non-smoker, and free from conditions that might complicate the procedure or your recovery. Sometimes, patients require additional tests. Dr. Sanam Zahedi can determine your suitability during a consultation and help you decide if chin liposuction is right for you.

Fat removal under the chin is performed as an outpatient procedure. First, local or general anesthesia is administered to ensure your comfort. The necessary small incisions will then be made, in order to allow your surgeon to insert a cannula—a thin, hollow tube used to suction out the fat.
Using careful technique, Dr. Sanam Zahedi will sculpt the area for a more defined and natural-looking contour. Once the desired shape is achieved, the incisions will be closed, and you’ll be given detailed care instructions. The entire procedure is relatively quick, and you can return home on the same day.

As with traditional liposuction, recovering from submental liposuction involves taking time to rest and allowing your body to heal. You may experience mild pain, swelling, bruising, or tightness under the chin. This is normal.
Many patients find it helpful to prepare for recovery by arranging time off work and ensuring support at home. A chin liposuction compression garment may be required to minimize swelling and support the healing process. It’s essential to follow all post-operative instructions carefully.
If you notice persistent redness, severe pain, or unusual discharge, contact your surgeon immediately for guidance. While complications are rare, Dr. Zahedi will ensure your recovery stays on track.
The cost of chin liposuction depends on several factors, including the extent of the procedure, anesthesia fees, facility costs, and the expertise of your surgeon. An in-person consultation is necessary to provide an accurate estimate. This goes for every surgical procedure we offer.
During your consultation, Dr. Sanam Zahedi will assess your anatomy and discuss the best approach to achieving your desired goals. To learn more about the cost and benefits of chin liposuction, contact us at 954-995-7930 to schedule your appointment.
One week after chin liposuction, you can expect some swelling and mild bruising under your chin. These are typical side effects as your body begins to heal. At this stage, you may still need to wear a compression garment to reduce swelling and support the treated area.
While full results aren’t visible yet, you might notice subtle changes in your jawline. The swelling will continue to diminish over the coming weeks, gradually revealing the final contour.
Chin liposuction results are considered permanent because the fat cells removed during the procedure do not grow back. However, maintaining a stable weight is crucial to preserving your results. Significant weight gain after the procedure can cause remaining fat cells to enlarge, potentially affecting your results.
Most patients report only mild discomfort during their recovery. During the procedure, anesthesia ensures you feel no pain. Tenderness, swelling, or a tight sensation under the chin are all normal as you heal. Your surgeon will provide pain medication if needed to make recovery more comfortable.
Scarring from chin liposuction is minimal due to the small size of the incision, usually hidden naturally beneath the chin. Over time, the scar will fade and become barely noticeable.
To promote optimal healing, follow your surgeon’s aftercare instructions and avoid exposing the incision site to direct sunlight.
