What is double chin
and neck surgery?
Double chin surgery is a minimally-invasive procedure that helps to contour and create a more defined jawline. The procedure involves removing excess chin fat and skin resulting in a sleeker, more youthful appearance. It can be combined with neck lipo or a neck lift to remove excess skin and fat and tighten the skin around your neck leaving you with a beautifully defined and slim throat.
Our cosmetic doctor will help you set realistic expectations, answer your questions and discuss if double chin and neck liposuction is the right course of treatment for you at your first appointment.

What is the procedure for chin liposuction at My Cosmetic Clinic in Sydney?
At your initial consultation with one of our friendly and experienced surgeons, 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.
What happens on the day of the chin liposuction procedure?
This procedure is a day surgery performed with a local anaesthetic and sedation so you won’t feel any pain.
Once the local anaesthetic is injected 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.
What does recovery from double chin treatment involve?
Recovery is relatively straightforward after your procedure.
You will have some bruising and swelling, but this will start to settle after approximately 5 days. You will wear a chin and neck compression garment to aid with the swelling and healing post-surgery. You can return to your normal activities and work 1-2 days after your procedure.

Yes, chin lipo can be combined with other cosmetic procedures such as a neck lift, neck liposuction or a chin implant. It is always best to discuss options and expectations with your surgeon and they can tailor a specific package to you.
Are the results long-lasting?
If you follow the recommendations of your surgeon then the results are long-lasting. The chin lipo removes fat cells from your chin and upper neck area permanently.
Will the surgical procedure leave any scars?
Our highly skilled surgeons strive to not leave any visible scars post this procedure. The incision site is tiny and placed in a less noticeable area of your chin so scarring won’t be visible and will fade over time.
Can you shower after chin liposuction?
We recommend you wait until the day after your procedure to have a shower, and then be mindful of your incision sites. Don’t scrub the sites and pat gently to dry with a soft towel.
