What is submental liposuction?
Submental liposuction uses a thin cannula to remove excess fat from beneath the chin and along the jawline, improving the definition of the neck and lower face. It can be performed alone or combined with a neck lift or facelift for more comprehensive rejuvenation. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation and takes 30 minutes to one hour. Most patients return home the same day.
