What Is Submental Liposuction?
Submental liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure designed to remove unwanted fat beneath the chin and along the jawline. This targeted approach uses liposuction to sculpt a leaner, more youthful contour while enhancing harmony among your facial features.
It may be performed alone or combined with complementary procedures, such as a neck lift or facelift, for more comprehensive rejuvenation. For patients with good skin elasticity, chin liposuction can deliver dramatic results on its own.
Am I a Candidate for Chin Liposuction in Orange County?
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Have stubborn fat under the chin that won’t go away with diet and exercise
- Want a sharper definition of the chin and jawline
- Have good skin tone and elasticity
- Are at or near a healthy, stable weight
- Do not smoke, or are willing you to quit before surgery
- Are in good overall health with realistic expectations
If skin laxity is significant, Dr. Larson may recommend pairing chin liposuction with a neck lift to achieve the smoothest possible results.

How Chin Liposuction Works
In our practice, the procedure is typically performed in-office under local anesthesia. However, when chin liposuction is combined with liposuction in other areas of the body, or when combined with other procedures, sedation by a board-certified anesthesia provider can also be performed. Dr. Larson makes a tiny incision beneath the chin, hidden from view, and inserts a thin cannula to gently break up and remove fat.
Most procedures take under one hour, and patients return home the same day wearing a supportive compression garment.
The Benefits of Chin Liposuction
For even more pronounced results, patients can also pair this procedure with chin augmentation or other facial plastic surgery options. Dr. Larson will recommend the best procedure(s) to reach your goals. Patients choose submental liposuction because it:
- Eliminates a double chin for a leaner, more youthful look
- Sharpens and defines the jawline
- Restores balance between the chin, jaw, and neck
- Improves confidence in both casual and professional settings
- Offers long-lasting results with stable weight
- Can complement other procedures for a more complete transformation
Submental Liposuction Recovery
Your tummy tuck consultation with Dr. Safa Sharabi is a one-on-one conversation between the two of you, designed to support you through this important and potentially life-changing decision. Your visit is never rushed or transactional. Instead, it’s a space to talk openly about what’s been bothering you, what you hope to restore, and how you envision feeling in your body after surgery. Dr. Sharabi approaches each consultation with compassion, clarity, and a genuine respect for the individuality of every patient’s journey.
During your consultation, Dr. Sharabi takes the time to understand both your physical concerns and your personal goals to ensure that a tummy tuck is considered within the full context of your health, lifestyle, and long-term results. She will walk you through how the procedure works, what it can realistically accomplish, and how it compares to other abdominal contouring procedures like liposuction. Her goal is to empower you with the information necessary to make a confident, informed decision about your care.
A thorough evaluation is an essential part of the consultation process and may include:
Recovery is usually faster than many other surgical procedures. Most patients experience swelling and mild bruising during the first week. A supportive chin strap is worn to help contour the area and encourage smooth healing. Dr. Larson and his team personally monitor your recovery, offering direct communication and attentive aftercare at every stage.
Typical Recovery Timeline:
- Days 1–3: Swelling and bruising are most noticeable; rest and gentle walking are encouraged.
- Week 1: Most patients return to work or light activities.
- Weeks 2–3: Bruising fades; swelling continues to improve.
- Week 4: Most patients resume exercise and full activities.
- Months 1–3: Final results appear as swelling completely subsides.
How Much Does Submental Liposuction Cost in Newport Beach?
The cost of the procedure varies depending on the technique used, the expected duration, whether it is combined with liposuction in other areas, and whether it is combined with other procedures such as a neck lift, facelift, or fat transfer (reinjecting the harvested fat).
At your consultation, Dr. Larson and our team will provide a personalized treatment plan with a detailed cost estimate. Financing options are available to help make treatment more affordable.

- Following a balanced diet and exercise routine

Submental Liposuction in Newport Beach, CA – Frequently Asked Questions
Will I have scars after chin liposuction?
Incisions for chin liposuction are very small and discreetly placed beneath the chin. In most patients, the incision heals well and fades over time to be barely noticeable.
Does chin liposuction hurt?
You’ll be comfortable during the procedure, and most patients describe post-operative discomfort as mild. Any soreness is typically well managed with medication and the use of a compression garment.
What’s the difference between mini and full chin liposuction?
Mini chin liposuction is best suited for patients with small fat deposits and good skin elasticity. Full submental liposuction addresses larger fat deposits and is often combined with a neck lift when skin laxity is present.
Can chin liposuction be combined with other procedures?
Yes. Chin liposuction is commonly combined with procedures such as a neck lift, facelift, or eyelid surgery to enhance overall facial balance and rejuvenation.
How long will my results last?
Fat cells removed during chin liposuction do not return. With a stable weight and healthy lifestyle, most patients enjoy long-lasting results.
What is the best age for chin liposuction?
There’s no “ideal” age. Candidates typically range from their 20s through their 60s. Skin quality and overall health are far more important factors than age alone.
How soon will I see results?
Many patients notice improvement within the first few days. As swelling continues to resolve, final results become more apparent over 1 to 3 months.
Is chin liposuction safe?
When performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Larson in an accredited surgical facility, chin liposuction is considered a safe procedure with a low risk of complications.
Do you treat out-of-town patients?
Absolutely. We regularly care for patients traveling from across the country and are happy to assist with accommodations, aftercare services, and virtual follow-up visits.
Is financing available?
Yes. Flexible financing options are available, and our team is happy to help you explore plans that fit your needs.
