Factors such as weight gain, aging, heredity, weight gain and lifestyle cause fat accumulation in smaller body areas such as chin, resulting in a double chin. For many people, this aesthetic concern cannot be resolved with exercise and diet. Chin liposuction in NYC is an effective solution for submental fat. The procedure removes excess fat from the chin and neck and refines the jaw line to provide a sculpted, smooth jaw line and neck, and a more youthful-looking facial profile.
Many people are apprehensive about getting traditional chin liposuction surgery as it involves pain and longer recovery time. Today, leading plastic surgery practices in NYC provide minimally-invasive chin liposuction to resolve this concern. Performed using Smartlipo, this liposuction procedure can eliminate unwanted fat under the chin with none to minimal pain and little downtime.
Smartlipo liposuction is a safe and effective procedure that uses laser energy to address concerns such as a sagging or double chin, a drooping jaw line, or excess skin below the jaw line. This minimally-invasive procedure is performed using the FDA-approved Smartlipo Triplex workstation, which comes with three powerful laser wavelengths–1064nm, 1320nm and 1440nm. The laser energy delivered via a minimally invasive cannula precisely targets and melts the excess fat so that it can be easily suctioned off. The laser wavelengths work together to remove excess fat and restore the natural shape of the chin. The device has unique intelligent delivery systems – SmartSense™, ThermaGuide™ and ThermaView™ -which ensure reliable and controlled energy delivery.
Though minimally invasive double chin liposuction in NYC could involve minimal post-operative complications such as bruising and swelling, these side effects far less than in traditional liposuction. Slight drainage from the incisions and some swelling and bruising can be expected during the first 24 hours after chin liposuction, which will subside soon. Following these tips can ease pain and swelling during this recovery period:
- Sleep with the head elevated by at least 30°
- Gently massage on the treated area
- Wear a chin strap or chin compressive garment during the recovery phase, as it helps to minimize swelling and help the soft tissue adjust after the treatment
- Eat a high protein, low sodium diet
- Do not lift or bend over
- Avoid strenuous activities and exercises for at least a month following chin liposuction in NYC, as any vigorous movements can aggravate the healing process
- Avoid taking any non-prescribed painkillers or medications
- Make sure your blood pressure is kept under control
- Keep your follow-up appointments to ensure your recovery is progressing smoothly
- Contact your surgeon immediately if you notice any signs of infection
Though the speed of healing varies from person to person. Patients – who feel well enough soon after the procedure – may be able to return to work the day after the chin lipo. Usually, chin liposuction patients are back to normal activity within three days when the swelling has lessened, and most recover fully after a week.
Following double chin liposuction in NYC, patientd should be able to see a more defined jawline and a sleeker neck as the swelling goes down. Final outcomes usually appear three to four months after the procedure.

A minimally invasive face lift performed using the Precision Tx the Nd: YAG 1440nm wavelength laser can rejuvenate your appearance by redefining facial and chin contour, removing jowls, restoring youthful curves in the neck and sharpening jaw line definition.
