Chin & Neck Liposuction
Cleveland | Columbus | Pittsburg | Detroit | Cincinnati
At Wick Facial Plastics, chin and neck liposuction is about refinement—not transformation. With meticulous technique and an eye for natural harmony, Dr. Elizabeth Wick gently sculpts the area beneath the chin to restore definition and balance to the profile. Using advanced microcannula technology and precise contouring methods, she achieves elegant, natural-looking results with minimal downtime.
Chin liposuction, also known as submental liposuction, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to permanently remove excess fat beneath the chin. By precisely sculpting the area under the jawline, this procedure helps eliminate the appearance of a “double chin,” creating a more defined and youthful profile.
At our Cleveland-based facial plastic surgery clinic, chin liposuction is performed using microcannulas and advanced contouring techniques to ensure natural-looking, elegant results with minimal downtime.
Goals of the procedure:
- Remove unwanted fat from the chin and upper neck
- Improve the definition of the jawline and profile
- Enhance facial symmetry and proportion
- Create a refreshed, contoured appearance
- Provide permanent results with a quick, in-office procedure
Ideal candidates are typically in good health, at or near their goal weight, and have good skin elasticity to allow for smooth contouring after fat removal.

Recovery After Chin Liposuction
Most patients experience minimal downtime and return to work or social activities within 3–5 days. Common side effects include mild swelling, bruising, and temporary numbness, which typically resolve within 1–2 weeks. A compression garment is usually recommended for several days to support optimal healing and contour.
While early results can be seen within a week, final results develop over the course of 6–12 weeks as swelling fully subsides and the skin retracts.
Common Questions
How long does chin liposuction take?
The procedure typically takes 30–45 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia with oral sedation or light IV sedation.
Will I have scars?
Incisions are tiny (2–3 mm) and discreetly hidden under the chin or behind the ears. With proper care, they fade to near invisibility.
Is chin lipo permanent?
Yes. Once fat cells are removed, they do not grow back. Maintaining a stable weight helps preserve your results long-term.
Can chin liposuction be combined with other procedures?
Absolutely. Many patients combine it with a chin implant, facelift, or neck lift for comprehensive rejuvenation.
Am I too young or too old for chin lipo?
There is no specific age requirement—suitability depends more on skin elasticity and aesthetic goals than age alone.
How Much Does Chin Liposuction Cost?
The average cost of chin liposuction ranges from $3,500 to $5,500, depending on the complexity of the case and whether additional procedures are performed at the same time. Your personalized quote will include surgeon’s fees, anesthesia, and facility costs.
