Submental Liposuction

Sculpt Your Jawline: Submental Liposuction Under Local Anesthesia at Faceplus Plastic Surgery

A defined, sculpted jawline is one of the most striking features of a youthful and fit appearance. However, the stubborn pocket of fat under the chin—commonly known as a double chin—is often genetic and highly resistant to diet and exercise.

At Faceplus Plastic Surgery Institute, we offer a modern, highly effective solution: Submental Liposuction performed strictly under local anesthesia. This minimally invasive procedure contours the neck and jawline safely, comfortably, and with an incredibly fast recovery.

Why Choose Local Anesthesia for Your Double Chin Liposuction?

Many patients delay achieving their aesthetic goals because they want to avoid the risks, grogginess, and extended downtime associated with general anesthesia. At Faceplus, we prioritize your comfort and safety by performing submental liposuction using local numbing techniques (tumescent anesthesia).

The Benefits of an Awake, Local-Only Procedure:

• Enhanced Safety: Eliminates the risks and side effects of being put to sleep.

• Completely Painless: The target area is entirely numbed. You will remain awake, relaxed, and comfortable throughout the short procedure.

• Rapid Recovery: Without general anesthesia in your system, you can walk out of our office right after surgery and return to your normal routine much faster.

• Cost-Effective: Skipping the hospital operating room and anesthesiologist fees keeps your procedure highly affordable.

Elevate Your Results: Skin Tightening with InMode FaceTite

While removing excess fat instantly slims the neckline, patients with mild-to-moderate skin laxity may worry about loose or "crepey" skin left behind.

To ensure the crispest, tightest jawline possible, Faceplus Plastic Surgery offers InMode FaceTite—the industry's gold standard in non-surgical skin tightening—as a powerful built-in upgrade to your submental liposuction.

How FaceTite Works:

FaceTite utilizes advanced Bipolar Radiofrequency (RF) energy to target both the internal and external layers of the skin simultaneously.

 

1. A tiny probe is inserted just beneath the skin while a matching electrode glides along the surface.

    

2. Controlled RF energy flows between them, safely heating the tissues to a precise, scientifically proven temperature.

    

3. This thermal energy instantly causes the underlying collagen network to contract and shrink, while triggering the production of brand-new collagen over the next 3 to 6 months.

    

The FaceTite Advantage: By pairing submental liposuction with FaceTite, we don't just empty the fat—we actively shrink-wrap the skin to your new, contoured jawline. It delivers near-surgical results comparable to a mini neck lift, but without the extensive scars or long recovery.

 

What to Expect: The Quick Recovery Journey

Because this combined procedure is minimally invasive and performed under local anesthesia, the recovery timeline is remarkably manageable.

• The Procedure: Typically takes between 1 to 1.5 hours in our comfortable, state-of-the-art office.

• Immediate Post-Op: You will wear a supportive neck compression garment to minimize swelling. Most patients report only mild soreness that is easily managed with over-the-counter or mild pain relievers.

   

• Downtime: Most patients return to sedentary work and light social activities within 3 to 5 days.

• Results: You will notice an immediate improvement in your profile as initial swelling subsides. Your jawline will continue to sharpen and tighten for 6 to 12 months as the FaceTite-induced collagen remodeling takes full effect.
