Laser-Assisted Double Chin Removal

Laser-Assisted Double Chin Removal

(Laser-Assisted Submental Liposuction)

Laser-assisted double chin removal is a surgical aesthetic procedure designed to eliminate excess fat accumulated in the submental (under-chin) area using laser energy combined with liposuction.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and is considered one of the most effective and precise techniques for improving jawline definition and lower facial contour.

Aging, genetic predisposition, weight gain, loss of skin elasticity, and a retruded chin structure can all contribute to fat accumulation beneath the chin. This condition—commonly referred to as a double chin (submental fullness)—causes blurring of the jawline and creates an older, heavier facial appearance.

Causes of Double Chin Formation

Several factors may contribute to the development of submental fullness:

• Age-related loss of collagen and elastin
• Genetic tendency for localized fat accumulation
• Weight gain and regional adiposity
• Small or retruded chin structure
• Gravitational descent of skin and soft tissues

These factors may act individually or together, leading to unwanted fullness and sagging in the under-chin area.

How Is Laser-Assisted Double Chin Removal Performed?

Laser-assisted submental liposuction is a refined and controlled technique that differs from conventional liposuction by offering additional skin-tightening benefits.

Procedure Steps

1.Individualized evaluation
Jawline anatomy, fat volume, skin elasticity, and overall facial proportions are carefully assessed.

2.Local anesthesia
The procedure does not require general anesthesia. The patient remains awake and comfortable.

3.Laser-assisted fat liquefaction
A thin fiber-optic laser probe is inserted to selectively melt fat cells.
The laser energy also stimulates collagen contraction, contributing to skin tightening.

4.Fat aspiration
The liquefied fat is gently removed using fine cannulas, and the jawline is sculpted for a sharper contour.

The procedure typically lasts 30–60 minutes.

Advantages of Laser-Assisted Double Chin Removal

• Performed under local anesthesia
• Minimal bruising and swelling
• Precise and controlled fat removal
• Skin tightening effect
• Minimal scarring
• Rapid return to daily activities
• Enhanced jawline definition

Recovery Process

• Same-day discharge
• Mild swelling and edema may occur
• A compression garment is usually worn for 2-3 days
• Most patients return to work within a few days
• Final results become visible within 4–6 weeks

Who Is a Good Candidate?

• Patients with localized fat accumulation under the chin
• Individuals with reduced jawline definition
• Patients with mild to moderate skin laxity
• Those seeking a more youthful and contoured lower face

In cases of severe skin laxity, laser-assisted liposuction may be combined with additional surgical procedures for optimal results.

Are the Results Permanent?

Yes. The removed fat cells are permanently eliminated. As long as significant weight gain does not occur, recurrence of submental fat is unlikely. Natural aging of the skin continues, but the improved contour is long-lasting.
