May reduce localised fat beneath the chin. Outcomes vary between individuals.
Can help create a smoother transition between the chin and neck area.
The procedure aims to remove fat cells in the treated area. However, weight changes, ageing, and individual factors can affect longer-term contour and appearance.
A consultation will help determine if this procedure is suitable for your needs and health. See below for detailed risks and complications.
• Skin with sufficient elasticity to adapt after fat removal
• Good overall health and stable weight
• Understanding that liposuction refines contour rather than serving as a weight-loss treatment
During your consultation, realistic expectations, potential risks, and recovery requirements will be discussed.
Your practitioner will discuss your goals, assess your anatomy, and outline appropriate treatment options.
You’ll receive clear pre-operative guidance about fasting, medications, and what to expect on the day of surgery.
Performed using established surgical techniques tailored to individual anatomy and goals. Results vary between individuals.
Swelling and bruising are common in the early healing period and often improve over time. Recovery varies between individuals.
Some patients may return to light daily activities within 1–2 weeks, depending on individual healing and clinical advice. Strenuous activity is usually delayed for several weeks.
Incisions are typically small and placed in less visible areas where appropriate. Scarring varies between individuals.
Light activity can be resumed in a few days, but strenuous exertion should be postponed for 3-4 weeks.
Fat cells removed during liposuction generally do not return, but maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle is important to help preserve the result, as future weight changes can affect contour.
If you have concerns about your outcome, a review consultation can be arranged. Healing takes time, and further assessment may be required before discussing any additional options.
Preparation might involve avoiding certain medications, stopping smoking, and ensuring good overall health. Detailed guidance will be provided.
Chin liposuction is a surgical procedure and, as such, carries inherent risks and potential complications. These may include bleeding, bruising, swelling, infection, fluid accumulation (seroma), contour irregularities, and delayed wound healing. Adverse reactions to local or general anaesthesia may occur. Altered sensation in the chin, jawline, or surrounding areas, including numbness or tingling, may occur and is usually temporary, though in rare cases may be prolonged or permanent. Scarring can occur, although incisions are typically small and placed in less visible areas. Aesthetic outcomes may differ from expectations and can include asymmetry, residual fullness, skin laxity, or uneven contouring. Less commonly, more serious complications such as injury to underlying nerves, blood vessels, or surrounding structures, as well as blood clots, may occur. Individual risk varies based on personal health factors, skin quality, anatomy, and the extent of fat removal. These risks will be discussed in detail during your consultation to support informed decision-making.
The cost can vary based on the areas treated and individual needs. A transparent cost structure will be presented during our consultation.
