Read article →Chin liposuction, also known as submental liposuction, is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess fat from the chin area. Neck liposuction is very similar, targeting the distribution of excess fat in the lower face and neck area. Sometimes, both procedures are combined, depending on suitability and required outcomes. We offer both neck and chin liposuction in Melbourne as part of our clinics’ wide range of cosmetic procedures.
Chin or neck liposuction may be considered when lifestyle factors, genetics or changes over time have influenced that accumulation, leading to shape or contour at the patient would like to address.
Before deciding on cosmetic surgery, it’s important to have realistic expectations about the outcome. Talk to your cosmetic doctor about what to expect from the surgery and make sure you understand the recovery time and results.
The Chin or Neck Liposuction Procedure
Chin or neck liposuction focuses on reducing fat beneath the chin and around the jawline to address the overall contours in this area. The specific steps can vary depending on your individual circumstances and will be discussed with Dr Mark Attalla during your consultation.

FINANCE INFORMATION
How much does it cost?
The cost of chin liposuction can vary based on the complexity of the procedure and other factors such as the practitioner’s fee and medical facility fee. Be sure to discuss the total cost during your consultation.
Who is a suitable candidate for chin liposuction?
Chin liposuction focuses on reducing fat in the chin area and does not address changes in skin quality. If skin condition is the main concern, other procedure options may be discussed during your consultation.
Patients who may be suitable are those with fat in the chin or neck area that has not changed with lifestyle measures such as diet and exercise. Candidates should be in good general health, be non-smokers, and understand that outcomes vary from patient to patient.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
Chin liposuction removes fat cells from the chin area, and these cells generally do not grow back. However, results can vary from patient to patient. Maintaining a stable weight may help influence how long the outcomes last, as weight changes can still affect the area.
Some patients may notice changes soon after the procedure. However, outcomes are influenced by factors such as swelling and healing, which vary from patient to patient. The final result is assessed over time.
