At ARCmd in Weston, we specialize in submental liposuction, helping patients achieve a more sculpted and youthful appearance through advanced, minimally invasive techniques.

WHAT IS

Submental Liposuction?

Submental liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess fat from under the chin and along the jawline using a gentle suction process. This treatment is designed to refine facial contours, providing a smoother, more defined profile. It is ideal for addressing common concerns like a double chin or an undefined jawline.

COMMON CONCERNS ADDRESSED

  • Double chin or excess fat under the chin
  • Lack of definition along the jawline
  • Bulky or heavy neck appearance
  • Fat accumulation resistant to diet and exercise

Benefits of Submental Liposuction

  • Enhanced profile: Sharpens the jawline and refines facial contours.
  • Quick recovery: Minimal downtime allows patients to resume daily activities soon after treatment.
  • Minimal scarring: Small, discreet incisions ensure an inconspicuous result.
  • Long-lasting results: Permanent fat removal enhances the natural structure of the neck and chin.
  • Boosted confidence: Helps patients feel more self-assured with a sculpted appearance.

The Submental Liposuction Procedure

During the procedure, a saline solution with local anesthesia is introduced to the target area, minimizing discomfort and reducing bleeding. A thin cannula is then inserted through small incisions under the chin or behind the ears to gently remove excess fat.

This precise technique ensures a smoother, more contoured jawline and neck, with most procedures completed in under an hour.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Following submental liposuction, patients typically experience a streamlined recovery:

  • Swelling and mild bruising: These subside within a few weeks.
  • Compression garments: Worn to minimize swelling and support healing.
  • Returning to normal activities: Most patients resume light activities within a few days.
  • Final results: Noticeable improvements develop as swelling decreases, with optimal results visible in a few months.

WHO ARE THE IDEAL

Candidates?

Ideal candidates for submental liposuction are individuals seeking a more defined jawline and neck who have localized fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise. Candidates should be in good overall health, have good skin elasticity, and maintain realistic expectations about the procedure’s outcomes.
