Achieve a Chiseled,
Sculpted Chin and Jawline
Chin and neck liposuction, also known as lipoplasty, is a cosmetic surgery designed to remove excess fat from beneath the chin and around the neck. This procedure targets diet-resistant fat, enhances the angle between the neck and jaw, and creates a more defined and aesthetically pleasing profile. It is especially beneficial for individuals who struggle with stubborn fat in these areas despite maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise.
This minimally invasive procedure involves making small incisions in inconspicuous areas, such as under the chin or behind the ears, through which a liposuction cannula is inserted. The cannula gently breaks up and removes the unwanted fat via suction. The result is a smoother, more contoured neck and jawline, improving the overall facial appearance. The surgery may be done as an in-office procedure — please inquire with our practice for more details.

Your Chin and Neck Liposuction Journey:
Before, During, and After
Before Chin and Neck Liposuction
Before your chin and neck liposuction at Evolve Plastic Surgery, you’ll have a consultation with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons. During this appointment, your surgeon will assess your medical history, discuss your goals, and determine if you’re a good candidate for the procedure. You’ll receive detailed preparation guidelines, including avoiding certain medications, stopping smoking, and arranging for transportation on the day of surgery. Following these guidelines ensures a smoother procedure and a quicker recovery.
During Chin and Neck Liposuction
During your surgery, you’ll receive local anesthesia with oral sedation or general anesthesia, depending on your preference and the amount of fat being removed. Small incisions are made in inconspicuous areas, such as under your chin or behind your ears. A liposuction cannula is then inserted through these incisions to break up and gently suction out the excess fat. The procedure typically takes 1-2 hours and results in a more chiseled, defined neck and jawline.
After Chin and Neck Liposuction
After your chin and neck liposuction, you may experience some swelling, bruising, and tenderness. You’ll be given a prescription for pain medication and antibiotics to aid in your recovery. A compression garment will be worn around your neck and chin for 3-4 weeks to minimize swelling and support healing. Most patients can return to work within 5-7 days but should avoid aerobic activity for about 4 weeks. Final results are seen within 6-8 weeks.

Chin and Neck Liposuction FAQs
Is There an Age Limit for Chin and Neck Liposuction?
While there is no specific age limit for chin and neck liposuction, ideal candidates are typically in their thirties to fifties. However, older patients in good health and with realistic expectations can also benefit from the procedure. It’s essential to have a thorough consultation with our surgeons to assess your suitability for the surgery.
How Do I Know if Chin and Neck Liposuction is Right for Me?
Chin and neck liposuction might be right for you if you have excess fat under your chin and around your neck that is resistant to diet and exercise and if you’re looking for a more defined neck and jawline. During your consultation, our board-certified plastic surgeons will evaluate your specific concerns and goals to determine if this procedure is the best option for you.
How Can I Prepare for My Chin and Neck Liposuction?
To prepare for your procedure, you should follow your surgeon’s preoperative instructions carefully. This may include avoiding certain medications and supplements that can increase bleeding risk, stopping smoking, and arranging for someone to drive you home after the surgery. Proper preparation helps ensure a smoother procedure and a quicker recovery.
Is Chin and Neck Liposuction Permanent?
Yes, chin and neck liposuction permanently removes fat cells from the treated areas. However, it’s essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle to prevent the remaining fat cells from enlarging. Significant weight gain can affect the results, so following a balanced diet and regular exercise routine is crucial for long-lasting results.
Will I Have Visible Scars After Chin and Neck Liposuction?
The incisions made during chin and neck liposuction are small and placed in inconspicuous areas, such as under the chin or behind the ears. Over time, these scars typically fade and become barely noticeable. Our board-certified plastic surgeons use advanced techniques to minimize scarring and promote optimal healing.
How Soon Will I See the Results After the Procedure?
You may notice some immediate improvement in your neck and jawline’s contour after the procedure, but the final results will become more apparent as the swelling subsides. This process can take several weeks, with most patients seeing significant improvement within 6-8 weeks. Full results are usually visible by three months post-surgery.
