Submental liposuction is performed under general anesthesia in our operating room. The procedure usually lasts approximately 30-60 minutes. Submental liposuction involves three tiny incisions, about 2 to 3 mm each, made in three discrete areas along the neck. Fat cells under the chin and neck are safely removed with a small tube known as a microcannula. This technique is safe and leads to a more contoured jawline with minimal scarring. After the procedure, patients can expect mild swelling and bruising. Patients may return home the same day as their surgery.
