Chin Liposuction

What is Chin Liposuction?

Chin liposuction tailored to your unique facial contours.

Chin Liposuction, also known as double chin surgery, is a simple facial fat removal procedure using Liposuction to help get rid of a stubborn double chin.

Chin Liposuction Antalya at the Altan Tekin Clinic is intended for those with excess fat around the chin and lower portion of the face, which can cause a lack of definition around the lower face. 

How Does Chin Liposuction Work?

During Chin Lipo, the surgeon will insert a small tube called a cannula into different locations in the chin. The tube is moved back and forth to break down the fat and the loosened fat cells are extracted from the body. The cannula that is used is very fine, so only small incisions are needed, leaving minimal scarring.

As well as facial fat removal, double chin liposuction leaves the patient with a smoother, more defined, profile. 

How popular is Chin Liposuction?

Chin Liposuction is an extremely popular facial liposuction treatment for both men and women, accounting for roughly 10% of all Liposuction procedures.

Liposuction of the chin is popular for different reasons. Whereas women are seeking a leaner profile, men generally hope to achieve a more chiseled, masculine shape. Fatty deposits in the chin are often an issue for men. Men benefit from a more simple and precise liposuction technique as their skin is thinner and not as elastic as in a woman. 

Can I combine other procedures with Chin Lipo?

Chin liposuction can be combined with other surgical and non-surgical treatments, such as a neck lift, mini face lift or Morpheus8 focusing on improving the lower portion of the face, for an enhanced result. Many chin liposuction the cases are conducted in isolation, but just as many combine these different approaches and procedures.

Although Chin Liposuction is a great facial fat removal technique, it does not improve skin quality. You may not be a good candidate for double chin liposuction if your skin isn’t very elastic and looks loose and saggy.

If you are aged over 50 with substantial skin laxity, your consultant may recommend a Neck Lift alongside face lipo. A Neck Lift will correct a double chin and address loose, hanging skin around the neck. Although liposuction is an invasive treatment, facial liposuction is less invasive than a Neck Lift.

Those aged in their 40s or 50s with problematic sagging skin on the lower part of the face, including the chin, jaw, jowls and upper neck, would benefit from a Mini Face Lift, either with or without Chin Liposuction.

Your surgeon will be able to discuss all the available facial fat removal treatment options with you at your initial consultation.

Why do people have Chin Liposuction?

Chin Liposuction is designed to address several functional and medical conditions, and can also achieve a range of aesthetic improvements:

Medical reasons:

• To remove localised fat beneath the chin that may contribute to a “double chin” appearance and physical heaviness.

• To correct disproportionate fat accumulation due to genetic predisposition or metabolic change.

• To refine contour following weight loss or reconstructive surgery.

Aesthetic reasons:

• To create a more defined jawline and neck contour for a balanced, youthful appearance.

• To enhance facial profile by reducing fullness under the chin.

• To improve confidence by restoring a smoother, more sculpted lower face.

Whilst this surgical procedure is considered less significant compared to some other surgeries, it is very powerful. Chin liposuction before and after cases, as well as chin augmentation and implant patients, show highly transformational results, with a relatively simple procedure.

Altan Tekin Clinic considers individuals fit for facial liposuction and double chin surgery, if all of the following are true of them:

• Physically and psychologically fit and healthy

• Bothered by the appearance of a double chin

• Does not have excessive sagging skin around the lower part of the face

After one week, you will come back to the clinic to see our specialist nurses, who will check your incisions and answer any questions you have. You will then see your surgeon six weeks after your Chin Lipo procedure to discuss your recovery and results.

What is the difference between Chin Liposuction and Chin Liposculpture?

When considering jawline liposuction, you may also come across a similar technique known as Chin Liposculpture. Whereas Liposuction simply extracts fat from the area, Chin Liposculpture focuses on enhancing facial contours and definition.

Although Chin Liposculpture also utilises Liposuction, it may be more suited to patients who are concerned about having a weak jawline, as well as excess fat around their lower face. In some cases, Chin Liposculpture may also involve Fat Transfer to reshape the jawline.

Your consultant will discuss all of the options with you during your consultation and will help you to decide between Chin Liposculpture and Chin Lipo.

Are Chin Liposuction and Jaw Liposuction different?

Although both procedures target concerns around the lower face, Chin Lipo and Jaw Lipo are slightly different. Jawline Lipo targets the entire jawline – from under the ears to the centre of the chin.

This is suited to patients who are concerned about excess fat around their entire lower face. Chin Liposuction targets the area directly under the chin, in the centre of the face. This specifically addresses the common concern of a double chin and won’t take fat from further up the jawline as well.

Both Chin Lipo and Jawline Liposuction result in a contoured and defined lower face, but the correct procedure will depend on your exact concerns and where the fat deposits are located in your face. Your surgeon will discuss both options with you, and will help you to decide Chin Liposuction and Jawline Lipo.
