Chin Liposuction

What Is Chin Liposuction?

One common issue many individuals struggle with is stubborn fat under the chin, also known as submental fat. Even with diet and exercise, it can be difficult to remove submental fat and the "double chin" effect that it creates. If you find yourself trying to hide a double chin in pictures, you might be a candidate for chin liposuction. This transformative procedure helps create a more balanced, well-defined chin and jawline by eliminating excess fat around the upper neck. If you want to elevate your selfies and say goodbye to awkward angles, schedule a consultation with Dr. Jose Rodriguez in San Diego, CA to learn more about minimally invasive chin liposuction.

How Does Chin Liposuction Work?

Chin liposuction is performed in our office's private operating room using either local or general anesthesia. To start, Dr. Rodriguez will make a small incision under your chin before guiding a cannula (a thin, hollow tube) into the channel. Once the cannula is in place, we'll gently suction out the excess submental fat. Once we've achieved your desired shape, Dr. Rodriguez will close the incision with stitches before applying bandages and a compression garment to reduce any swelling.
