Double chin surgery, also known as double chin reduction surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess fat beneath the chin. This treatment involves the use of liposuction techniques to remove fat deposits on the jawline and neck.
A consultation with a qualified health practitioner is required to determine your suitability for the procedure.

Here are a few things you need to know about the surgery to get rid of double chin:
Your practitioner will also help establish realistic expectations based on your anatomy, skin elasticity, and general health during your consultation.
At your initial consultation with one of our friendly and experienced practitioners, all your questions will be answered, and a thorough medical history and physical examination will take place. A treatment plan will be formulated based on your expectations and needs and the date for your surgery will be booked.
This procedure is a day surgery performed with a local anaesthetic and sedation.
Once the local anaesthetic is administered and your chin area is completely numb, a small incision is made under your chin. A thin, hollow tube called a catheter is inserted through this incision and the fat cells will be sucked out. This small incision is then sutured closed.
Recovery can be different from person to person.
The typical recovery will involve some bruising and swelling, but this will start to settle after approximately 5 days. Note that full recovery can still take some time. You will wear a chin and neck compression garment to aid with the swelling and healing post-surgery.
