Submental lipectomy, or chin liposuction, is ideal for younger patients with fat under the chin, which can give the appearance of excess weight or aging. In this case, a small incision of about half a centimeter allows for liposuction, enhancing neck contour.

For older patients with sagging skin and fat, cervicoplasty is recommended. This procedure not only removes excess fat but also tightens muscles and repositions skin, achieving a youthful neck contour. Although incisions are slightly larger, they remain well-hidden.

During a consultation, the doctor analyzes each patient’s unique facial characteristics, such as age, skin type, sagging, and any extra fat. Then, using a specialized computer program, the doctor reviews photos with the patient to identify the most suitable surgery based on individual needs.

Recovery times depend on the procedure. For chin liposuction, most patients can resume normal activities within a few days. In contrast, cervicoplasty may require a longer recovery, with most patients returning to regular activities in one to two weeks.

Generally, patients over 40 begin to experience skin sagging under the jawline. However, some younger people have a large double chin due to fat accumulation, which can be corrected with liposuction. These are conservative and minimally invasive procedures.
