Submental fat refers to the pocket of fat that accumulates under the chin and along the upper neck. While often called a “double chin,” this fat can affect patients of all sizes and may be resistant to diet and exercise. Submental fullness can blur the jawline and make the lower face appear heavier or aged. Fortunately, targeted aesthetic treatments can effectively reduce this fat and restore balance to your features.
In mild cases, RF microneedling can improve skin firmness and reduce the appearance of fullness. However, more pronounced fat under the chin typically responds better to surgical treatments like liposuction or a neck lift.
Liposuction offers fast and effective removal of stubborn chin fat. If you also have loose skin or visible aging, a neck lift or facelift may deliver more comprehensive, long-lasting results.
Results from liposuction or surgical lifts are generally permanent as long as your weight remains stable. Non-surgical methods like RF microneedling may require touch-ups every six to 12 months.
Yes. Surgical treatments such as liposuction and neck lift usually require one to two weeks of recovery. Non-surgical options involve minimal downtime with temporary redness or swelling.
