CHIN LIPOSUCTION

Refine the chin. Reveal the jaw.

“In the right candidate, chin liposuction is a 30-minute procedure with decade-long impact. It defines the lower face and corrects the illusion of weight.”

- Dr. Parag Mahadik

What is Chin Liposuction?

“After years of operating on the head and neck, I’ve developed an eye for facial harmony. A facelift isn’t just about pulling skin — it’s about resetting the clock with grace and preserving what makes your face uniquely yours.”

Chin liposuction, also referred to as submental liposuction, is a quick surgical procedure that targets and permanently removes unwanted fat under the chin and along the jawline. In a local anaesthetic (with optional sedation) the patient receives a small cannula through a small, hidden incision.

The unwanted fat is suctioned out in a careful and precise manner, resulting in a sharper jawline and smoother neck contour. This procedure takes only 30–60 minutes, with the patient heading home the same day.It's minimally invasive, leaves a small scar (if any), and it provides lasting definition that reflects how you feel inside — strong, confident and in control.

BENEFITS OF A CHIN LIPOSUCTION



Remove stubborn under-chin fat, reveal your jawline, and redefine your side profile.

Our highly commended Mumbai Cosmetic surgeon, Dr Parag Mahadik often stresses that this procedure is a “small change that makes a big difference.” You’ll feel lighter, more defined, and less self-conscious — in photos, in conversation, and in your day-to-day presence. It’s not about looking dramatically different. It’s about finally looking the way you feel.


  • Feel more confident from every angle — especially in side-profile photos
  • Eliminate the double chin that doesn’t respond to diet or exercise
  • Achieve a more youthful, sculpted neck and jawline
  • Look fitter and more balanced — instantly
  • Permanent fat reduction in a quick, outpatient procedure

AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR A CHIN LIPOSUCTION?

Chin liposuction is ideal for people who are at a healthy weight but have fullness under the chin due to genetics, ageing, or resistant fat pockets.

1. You have good skin tone and elasticity (so the skin can snap back post-surgery)
2. You have a double chin or undefined jawline you want to improve
3. You want to remove the stubborn under-chin fat
4. You want to elevate your side profile, and to finally be the best version of yourself
5. You’re healthy, don’t smoke, and have realistic expectations
You deserve to feel confident — from all angles.

YOUR CHIN LIPOSUCTION PROCEDURE

Chin liposuction is performed under local anaesthesia with sedation if you choose. You will be comfortable and you can expect to go home within a couple of hours.The procedure starts with our skilled Cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Parag Mahadik marking the area (to ensure symmetry), followed by the local anaesthesia and instrument sterilisation. He then makes a small incision (2-3mm long) in a natural skin crease under the chin. Through the tiny incision, Dr. Parag Mahadik introduces a thin, blunt-tip cannula attached to an aspiration device. Dr. Mahadik will carefully - and strategically - remove the excess fat underneath the chin

and along the jawline to sculpt and create definition and balance; care is taken to avoid overcorrection and to create smooth, natural results. Once the desired profile is achieved, the incision will either be closed with a single dissolvable suture or allowed to heal by secondary intention. There is a compression band that will be placed around the lower face and neck which is designed to help promote healing, limit swelling, and to assist the skin to retract to its new profile. The procedure only takes about 30-60 minutes and you'll be monitored for a short time so that you can go home on the same day.

RECOVERY AND SIDE EFFECTS

Chin liposuction is safe and well-tolerated, but like all procedures, carries some risks.


  • Day 1–3: Compression band worn full-time; rest recommended

  • Day 4–7: Bruising and swelling begin to subside

  • Week 2: Most patients return to light work; results become more visible

  • Week 4–6: Swelling continues to resolve; final shape begins to settle

Results are usually visible within a few weeks and continue to refine over several months.

Common side effects:

  • Swelling and mild bruising under the chin
  • Temporary numbness or tightness



Rare risks:

  • Uneven contours (if not performed properly)
  • Infection or bleeding
  • Loose skin (if skin tone is poor)


PRO TIPS
Use sunglasses when outdoors to protect healing skin.
Avoid strenuous activity, eye strain, and alcohol for at least 2 weeks.
Lubricating eye drops may be prescribed to ease irritation.

YOUR CHIN LIPOSUCTION RESULTS

The results of chin liposuction aren’t just physical change — it’s how you feel when you look at yourself again. You’ll see a cleaner jawline, a tighter neck and a more sculpted, harmonious profile. But even more so, you’ll probably feel more confident voicing your opinion, facing the side in photos or simply catching your reflection and liking what you see.

This isn’t about following trends or trying to be someone else. It’s about feeling congruent with how you really feel inside: capable, clear, confident. And because the fat has been permanently removed, these results are lasting — with no filters, no fillers, no regrets.
