Chin liposuction before and after from Dr. Ivan Pavlovich Chesalin (Damas Clinic)
Excess volume in the chin area can appear even in thin people and is difficult to correct with diet or exercise. Despite the absence of medical indications for treatment, this cosmetic defect negatively affects the patient’s self-confidence and quality of life. Liposuction removes excess fatty tissue from the submandibular area, returning clear contours of the face and neck. Modern surgical and non-surgical techniques are characterized by safety, low trauma, accelerated rehabilitation period and high efficiency.
Causes of double chin and indications for removal
The submandibular zone refers to “fat traps”, in which subcutaneous tissue is deposited first and is consumed slowly during weight loss. Among the factors influencing the appearance of a double chin are:
- obesity and sudden weight loss, causing sagging skin;
- malocclusion and pathologies of the chewing-speech apparatus;
- genetic predisposition;
- incorrect posture, causing weakening of the muscles of the front of the neck;
- sleeping or reading while lying on a high pillow;
- hormonal imbalances and thyroid diseases;
- age-related gravitational ptosis.
Doctors at Damas Clinic recommend the liposuction procedure for pronounced fat deposits in the submandibular area, smoothing the angle between the chin and neck, significant sagging skin and jowls, and congenital aesthetic anomalies.
Use of lipolytics⠀
Cosmetologists are armed with various preparations that are successfully used to sculpt the figure and face. Using the finest needles, they are injected subcutaneously and stimulate the breakdown of fat cells on the face, neck, décolleté, arms, abdomen, and thighs.
In order to remove excess fat from sagging cheeks (jowls) and double chin, lipolytic cocktails can be used. Under their influence, fat is broken down and the resulting biodegradable substances are gradually eliminated from the body in a natural way. The process helps to significantly improve the oval of the face, the double chin and jowls are removed.
Sculpting requires from 2 to 10 procedures, the number of which is individual in each individual case.
The drug "Michelangelo"
To remove fat deposits in the chin area, a specialist can use the drug “Michelangelo”. The new Italian cocktail has:
- excellent anti-fat effect;
- easily tolerated by the body;
- perfectly tightens the skin.
This is the best composition, which is appreciated by leading European clinics. On average, 5 procedures, with an interval of 8-10 days, will be enough to significantly improve the oval of the face.
MPH complex
For fatty deposits that can be aggravated by vascular problems, the MPH mesococktail is more often used.
It, like other lipolytics, is administered by injection. Its complex composition expands the area of influence. The complex includes:
- sodium deoxycholate;
- natural dandelion extract;
- L-carnitine
The actions of each of them are successfully enhanced by other components. The result of their interaction is an improvement in metabolism, stimulation of the rapid breakdown and removal of fat cells through the lymph and circulatory systems.
Contraindications to the use of lipolytics
Like any procedure, the use of lipolytic cocktails has some contraindications:
- oncological diseases;
- pregnancy and lactation;
- neurological disorders;
- poor blood clotting;
- skin infection and inflammation;
- exacerbation of chronic diseases.
In addition, there is individual intolerance to the components of cocktails.
Is it worth getting liposuction?
The procedure is performed solely for aesthetic purposes at the request of the patient. The advantages of the method include the ability to remove fat cells from the chin area. The procedure immediately reduces volumes and prevents their re-increase, unlike conventional weight loss. Local fat loss does not require diets or training, which lead to a proportional reduction in other volumes, such as breasts or hips.
Among the disadvantages of the method, although it is quick, it is not instantaneous removal of excess volume. In the first 1–2 months, postoperative swelling persists, and the result can only be assessed after rehabilitation. Like any surgical procedure, chin liposuction carries a risk of complications. However, modern techniques reduce the likelihood of side effects to a minimum.
What types of chin plastic surgery are there?
- Target. Allows you to change the shape, contour, reduce the jaw angle due to the removal of part of the bone or liposuction.
- Magnifying. Aimed at changing the shape through extension or adjustment.
- Liposculpture. Helps eliminate the effects of age-related changes, but is not suitable for serious changes.
Main types and methods
The latest generation of aesthetic medicine has several methods of lipolysis. Classic, or vacuum, involves inserting a cannula through a small incision, which is connected to a negative pressure apparatus. The doctor makes progressive movements, as a result of which the fatty tissue is destroyed. At the same time, the vacuum installation provides aspiration of softened subcutaneous tissue.
Modern techniques are less traumatic due to the preliminary effect on adipose tissue. After softening, the subcutaneous tissue is in all cases removed using a cannula and a vacuum apparatus, as in classical surgery. The following minimally invasive procedures are distinguished.
- Tumescent surgery involves preliminary infiltration of the treated area with Klein's solution with exposure for 20 to 40 minutes. A mixture of lidocaine, epinephrine and saline softens the fatty tissue, making it easier to aspirate.
- The ultrasound technique includes preliminary infiltration of the submandibular zone with Klein's solution, followed by exposure to the Vaser apparatus. The waves liquefy the fiber without affecting the denser neighboring tissues. The advantage of the technique is its precise and targeted impact on problem areas.
- The radiofrequency liposuction method simultaneously destroys fatty tissue in the chin area and provides skin tightening. After the operation, there are no sagging jowls left and no additional hardware correction is required.
- Dual-wave laser lipolysis is characterized by rapid action and reduced blood loss. The radiation simultaneously destroys fat deposits and coagulates blood vessels, reducing the rehabilitation period and the risk of complications.

Double chin plastic surgery
The shape of the chin plays an important role in the aesthetics of appearance. Its outline catches the eye and often creates a certain image, the first impression of a person. It is not for nothing that ethical vocabulary contains such phrases as “weak-willed chin” or, conversely, “strong-willed”. A wide male chin is considered sexy. For an ideal female image, cheekbones, their height and thinness are no less important.
Unfortunately, not all of us have the right facial features. And such an annoying “little thing” as the shape of the chin can have an extremely negative impact on a person’s self-esteem, making it difficult to present oneself and feel confident. As a rule, such problems arise in people with double or sloping chins. In some cases, both defects can be combined.
The predisposition to a double chin in some cases is caused genetically, and sometimes by metabolic disorders, or a failure of the body’s endocrine functions. Age-related changes also play an important role. Unfortunately, it is impossible to remove a double chin in a beauty salon using cosmetology.
However, don't despair. You can remove a double chin in just a week using laser liposuction. This operation is quick and painless and leaves no scars or marks. If you are wondering how much it costs to remove a double chin, you need to contact a plastic surgeon directly. Since the cost of liposuction is determined by the specific volume of intervention, and for this the doctor must see your face. Typically, such an operation is very affordable in price.
Before the operation, you need to undergo a short examination. If you are healthy and there are no contraindications, laser liposuction will help you achieve beautiful facial contours.
Operation technique
The operation is performed under local anesthesia. Lasts about 30 minutes. As a rule, the surgeon makes one small puncture in the chin area. A special surgical cannula 3 mm in diameter with a laser emitter is inserted into the puncture. With the help of powerful laser action, fatty tissue is broken down and liquefied. After which it is easily removed using a surgical electric suction. It is noteworthy that the micropuncture does not require sutures; it is so small that it heals on its own.
Laser facial liposuction can also achieve a cosmetic effect. The powerful laser action strengthens the skin by creating microthermal renewal zones. Collagen and elastin fibers in the skin, under the high-temperature influence of the laser, contract and the skin after laser liposuction is well tightened. Thus, the operation not only removes the double chin, but also provides valuable skin lifting.
The recovery period after such an operation is very short. In just 3 hours you will be able to leave the clinic. For the first two days you will have to wear a special bandage. The results of the operation will delight you within five days.
Chin implantation
In the case of a receding chin, modern plastic surgery offers mentoplasty or chin implantation. This operation allows you to emphasize the oval of the face and create a new profile.
Implants can be inserted in two ways: from an incision under the lower jaw, or through the oral cavity. The last option is the most optimal, as it allows you to completely avoid external traces of surgical intervention. In either case, a very small incision is made. The material from which the chin implant is made is key. Modern silicone implants have the highest biocompatibility with the human body. They allow you to create a natural and harmonious oval of the face.
The chin implant surgery itself lasts about 30 minutes. The rehabilitation period ranges from five to ten days. The uniqueness of this operation is also its reversibility. If the patient, for some reason, wishes to remove the implant, this can be done in 15 minutes.

How is the procedure done?
Chin liposuction is preceded by a consultation with a surgeon and mandatory diagnostics, including blood tests, urine tests, ECG, an appointment with a therapist and an anesthesiologist. If there are no contraindications, the appropriate method is selected and the date of the operation is set. On the eve of the intervention, you should stop smoking, alcohol, and taking anticoagulants.
The procedure protocol depends on the chosen technique; in general it includes the following steps:
- performing anesthesia;
- marking access and areas to be processed;
- optionally - infiltration with Klein solution;
- making cuts or punctures to insert a cannula;
- destruction of adipose tissue mechanically, using ultrasound or laser;
- aspiration of fat cells using a cannula with a vacuum apparatus;
- applying cosmetic stitches or covering punctures with adhesive tape.
How do you prepare for chin surgery?
The first step on the path to change will be a consultation with a surgeon.
The doctor will examine you, ask questions, and make a computer model taking into account your wishes to best represent the result.
The next stage is examination and testing. This is done to identify the presence of possible contraindications.
Each clinic has its own list, but there are a number of mandatory requirements for mentoplasty:
- general and biochemical;
- infectious;
- Analysis of urine;
- ECG;
- Information about your blood type and Rh factor should be provided.
Postoperative period
Active rehabilitation takes about 14 days, during which it is necessary to wear a compression bandage, sleep on your back on a high pillow and avoid solid foods. To eliminate the risk of infection in the first days, the doctor prescribes antibiotics and anesthetics to relieve pain. In some cases, lymphatic drainage, microcurrent or physiotherapy are prescribed to speed up the recovery period.
The final result of liposuction appears after 1 – 3 months, when the swelling goes away and the tissue is completely restored. The chin acquires clear contours, becomes visually lighter, jowls disappear, skin tone increases, the face looks much younger and more attractive.
The cost of the procedure depends on the chosen method of exposure, the volume of tissue to be removed, the anesthesia used and other factors. The exact price will become known after an in-person examination with a surgeon and drawing up a surgical plan.
