Double Chin & Neck Liposuction
Submental fullness — commonly known as a double chin — affects an estimated 68% of people at some point in their lives, often arising from genetic, anatomical, or weight-related factors beyond a person's control. Neck and chin liposuction is one of the most satisfying procedures available, with results visible within 24 to 48 hours of treatment. Beyond simply removing the double chin, the procedure contours the jawline, balances facial features, and can take years off a patient's appearance.

The Neck Liposuction Procedure
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, with laughing gas available to maximise comfort throughout. Three small incisions are made in the chin crease to access the unwanted fat deposits, and a cannula is inserted to loosen and suction them out. The entire treatment typically takes under two hours, with proportional touch-ups to the face and neck performed as needed.
The Notational Infrasonic Technique
Our liposuction specialist employs the Notational Infrasonic fat removal technique — a highly precise method that pays careful attention to detail to prevent any damage to surrounding tissues. This approach allows for accurate contouring of the chin and neck while minimising bruising and post-operative discomfort. Subdermal radiofrequency skin tightening is available as a complementary option if any excess skin remains after the procedure.
Alternatives and Candidacy
A full assessment is carried out for every patient to confirm eligibility, discuss all available options, and minimise procedural risk. Patients who are more advanced in age with notable loose skin on the neck may be better suited to a cervicoplasty (neck lift surgery) rather than liposuction alone. The team will always recommend the most appropriate treatment for each individual's specific anatomy and goals.
Recovery After Neck Liposuction
Downtime after neck liposuction is minimal, and the likelihood of significant post-operative swelling is low. Most patients can return to their normal routine quickly, with full recovery taking up to three months. Adhering to a healthy lifestyle following the procedure is important to maintaining the improved contour.
