What Is Chin Liposuction?
Are you bothered by the appearance of a weak jawline or "chubby" chin? Even a small amount of fat under the chin (called the submental area) can drastically alter your profile, giving you a "double chin" look that is hard to mask. At Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery, we offer chin liposuction as an effective solution for Chicago, IL men and women who want a stronger, more defined profile. In just one short treatment, you can say goodbye to unsightly chin fat and gain a more confident appearance. To discover our approach to double chin removal, schedule a consultation with our friendly team and start your journey toward your ideal chin.
How Is Chin Liposuction Performed?
We perform submental liposuction at our Chicago, IL practice using local anesthesia. After numbing the area, we'll cut a small opening under the chin and insert a cannula (a small tube used in medical procedures). Using our advanced handheld liposuction device, we'll loosen the fat before suctioning it out. Once we're finished, we'll close the incision and bandage the area.
Based on your needs and goals, we can also complement your liposuction treatment with other chin sculpting procedures, including KYBELLA® fat-dissolving injections and neck lift surgery. During your consultation, we'll go over your options and help you decide which approach is ideal for you.
What Are the Benefits of Chin Liposuction?
If you find yourself trying to stay out of photos with unflattering head angles, chin liposuction at Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery can help you attain a more refined aesthetic, offering benefits that include:
- Performed with local anesthesia to limit downtime
- Minimally invasive
- Achieves a more balanced facial profile
- Produces a stronger-looking chin
- Eliminates the appearance of a double chin
- Works well with other treatments to create a more sculpted chin and jawline
Am I A Candidate For Chin Liposuction?
Chin liposuction is ideal for individuals who are in good overall health and have a small to moderate amount of stubborn fat under the chin that hasn’t responded to diet or exercise. It’s also best suited for those with good skin elasticity, as this helps the skin conform smoothly to the newly defined contours after the fat is removed. If you’re bothered by a double chin but don’t have significant skin laxity or excess skin, you may be a strong candidate for this procedure. During your initial consultation, our experts will discuss your goals to determine if chin liposuction is the right solution for you.
Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery Reviews
I had read a lot of reviews prior to my procedure so felt it necessary to provide one. I researched many places to consult with but came here first and after meeting with Dr. Moradian, I knew that I didn't have to go anywhere else. The professionalism, knowledge, and genuine interest to get me the exact results that I was looking for was what led me to choosing this practice. From start to finish, everything was detailed out and Kendall was able to promptly answer any questions that came up so that I felt supported throughout. The aftercare and attention that I received during my recovery was top notch. It was very important to me to have natural results and could not be happier. This is one of the best decisions I've made and recommend Dr. Moradian & this practice to everyone.
I recently had a Lip Lift procedure with Dr.Schierle and couldn’t be happier with my results!!! From the first consultation with Dr. Schierle he was incredibly detailed, patient and genuinely compassionate. He took time to listen to my concerns and goals explaining the procedure and the healing process throughly. He made sure I felt comfortable and informed every step of the way.His attention to detail was exceptional and is apparent in my outcome. My results look natural, balanced and are exactly what I was hoping for-refreshed without looking odd or overdone .The care didn’t stop after the procedure either , follow up appointments were just as thoughtful and reassuring.If you are considering a Lip Lift and want a physician who is not only skilled but meticulous, compassionated and truly cares about their patients I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Schierle.

I have nothing but great things to say about my time with Dr Schierle (and Dr.Fine) They have been nothing short of professional and personable. Making my procedures as seamless as possible, answering many, many questions from my parents and myself without hesitation or frustration and providing excellent pre op and post op care. Not to mention his amazing PA Monika Ciesynski who has played a huge role on my care team. They are an amazing duo and I am lucky to be under their care. I would highly, highly recommend them for yourself and your loved ones!Kendall and Barbara have been amazing as far as finances and scheduling goes. The front office is always friendly and ready to help.
With my breast reduction I had immediate relief from my intense discomfort! I had minimal pain and was able to resume exercising within about 20 days. De. Schierle and his team were marvelous and I highly recommend them to others.

What To Expect After Chin Liposuction
After chin liposuction, you may experience some swelling, bruising, or tenderness in the treated area. These effects are normal and typically subside within a few days to a couple of weeks. Most patients can return to work and normal activities soon after treatment, but strenuous exercise should be avoided for about two weeks to ensure optimal healing. The results of chin liposuction are generally visible once the swelling subsides, revealing a more defined and sculpted jawline. With proper care and a healthy lifestyle, the results of chin liposuction are long-lasting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will there be scarring after chin liposuction?

Proper rest and aftercare can help minimize scarring further.
