Facial beauty is a whole, and the most important frame of this integrity is the jawline. However, no matter how thin you are, the stubborn fat accumulation under the chin, known as the “double chin,” can make your face look rounder, your neck shorter, and your weight higher than it actually is. In fact, due to genetic factors, even very thin individuals can have a “double chin” problem.
If you are tired of posing with your head tilted up in photos or constantly using filters, Submental Liposuction is the most effective and permanent solution for you.
Dr. Andan Clinic applies submental liposuction not just as a fat removal process, but as a “Jawline Contouring” procedure. In this procedure performed with modern technologies (Vaser), not only is excess fat removed, but the loosening chin skin is also tightened, ensuring the skin adheres to the jawbone. The result is a youthful, dynamic, and sharp profile.
The submental fat pads under the chin have a different character than fat in other parts of the body. These genetically coded fats are extremely resistant to diet and exercise.
Even if you lose weight, your face may slim down while your double chin remains where it is. Additionally, the loss of jawbone volume with age and the position of the hyoid bone lead to the double chin becoming more prominent. Creams or massages are unfortunately ineffective in solving the problem in this area. While enzyme injections (lipolysis) work in mild cases, the gold standard for significant double chin problems is the Liposuction procedure.
At Dr. Andan Clinic, Vaser (Ultrasonic) Liposuction or Laser Liposuction technologies are preferred over classic liposuction for chin aesthetics. Why?
Tissue Selectivity: Vaser targets only fat cells with sound waves. It does not damage the vessels and nerves in the area. This minimizes the risk of post-operative bruising.
Tightening (Ironing) Effect: It is crucial that the remaining space (skin) does not sag after the fat is removed. The energy emitted by Vaser heats the skin from below, triggering collagen production and ensuring the skin “adheres” under the chin. In this way, tightening is achieved rather than sagging.
Submental Liposuction is a very practical procedure that takes approximately 30–45 minutes and can usually be performed under local anesthesia or sedation.
Entry is made with thin cannulas through millimetric (2-3 mm) holes opened behind the ear or under the chin.
No scars are left, and usually no stitches are required, or a single tiny stitch is placed.
The patient can return home immediately after the procedure.
The most important rule recommended by Dr. Andan Clinic for the success of the procedure is the use of a corset. A special chin bandage must be worn day and night for 3 days after the procedure, and then only at night for the following 1–2 weeks, to help the skin adapt to its new position.
The jawline emerges after the double chin is removed. However, in some patients, the chin tip may be recessed or the jawline may be weak. In such cases, Dr. Andan Clinic perfects the result by performing Jawline Filler or Chin Tip Filler in the same session immediately following the liposuction procedure.
Removing the double chin and projecting the chin forward (Profiloplasty) slims the face incredibly and provides an aesthetic “V” form. Submental Liposuction is a satisfying procedure, also known as “Selfie Aesthetics,” that creates a major difference in the face with a minor intervention. Stop hiding your profile. With the expert touches of Dr. Andan Clinic, it is possible to have a sharp and youthful jawline in a time as short as a lunch break.
This is the biggest concern. This risk exists with traditional methods, but skin tightening is achieved when Vaser Liposuction technology is used. Furthermore, if the patient has good skin elasticity (usually under 40-45 years old), there is no sagging; on the contrary, the skin adheres upward. In very advanced age and in patients with very loose skin, a Neck Lift may be necessary.
Liposuction permanently reduces the number of fat cells in that area. The number of fat cells does not increase in adults. Therefore, even if you gain weight, your waistline will not become as large as before. However, in cases of excessive weight gain, the remaining few cells may increase in volume.
Local anesthesia is administered during the procedure, so no pain is felt. There may be slight soreness afterward, but this can be relieved with simple painkillers. Most of our patients are able to return to work the next day.
Yes, the success of the outcome depends 50% on the surgeon and 50% on the use of a compression garment. Compression is essential for the first 3 days to prevent the space where fat was removed from filling with fluid and to ensure the skin adheres to the muscle tissue. Otherwise, rippling or delayed healing may occur.
The cannula insertion sites are the size of a needle puncture and are located at a hidden point under the chin. Once healed, only a small mark remains, which is not noticeable from the outside.
