Define your jawline and reduce unwanted fullness with submental liposuction at Wright Spellman Plastic Surgery. This procedure targets excess fat beneath the chin, often referred to as a “double chin,” to create a slimmer, more contoured profile. It’s an effective solution for patients struggling with stubborn fat resistant to diet and exercise.
Eliminate Fullness Beneath The Chin
Submental liposuction is a specialized cosmetic procedure that aims to address excess fat beneath the chin, commonly known as a “double chin.” Even with a healthy lifestyle, this area is often resistant to diet and exercise, leaving many patients frustrated with a softer, less defined jawline. At Wright Spellman Plastic Surgery, we offer submental liposuction as a long-lasting solution to create a slimmer, more sculpted appearance.
During the procedure, small, discreet incisions are made under the chin or near the ears. A thin cannula is then used to gently remove fat cells, contouring the neck and jawline. Because these fat cells are permanently removed, the results are enduring. Patients enjoy a more youthful, balanced profile with minimal downtime and scarring.

- Permanently removes fat cells for lasting results

Your Submental Liposuction Journey: Consultation, Treatment, Recovery, Results
Consultation
Your journey begins with a personalized consultation. During this visit, your surgeon will evaluate your concerns, review your medical history, and discuss your goals. This is the time to ask questions, learn about realistic outcomes, and explore whether submental liposuction is the right choice for you. A customized treatment plan is then created to achieve your ideal results.
Treatment
On the day of your procedure, small, carefully placed incisions are made beneath the chin or near the ears. A thin cannula is used to suction out excess fat, sculpting the neck and jawline. Depending on your needs, local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia may be used. The procedure typically takes less than an hour and is performed with precision.
Recovery
After treatment, you may experience mild swelling or bruising, which typically improves within one to two weeks. A compression garment is recommended to support healing and enhance your results. Most patients return to work and daily activities within a few days, but strenuous exercise should be avoided for about one to two weeks.
Submental Liposuction Results
You’ll begin to notice improvements in your jawline as swelling starts to diminish within the first couple of weeks. The final results become visible after several weeks, once the area has fully healed and your contours are refined. Because submental liposuction permanently removes fat cells, your slimmer, more sculpted profile lasts as long as you maintain a stable weight.
