Despite efforts with facial exercises, face yoga, or even a strict diet and regular intense workouts, a double chin often remains. This persistent issue, known as submental fat, is a layer of fat that accumulates under the chin. It’s usually paired with loose skin, making it challenging to address with diet and exercise alone.
Double chin liposuction targets and removes submental fat, tightening the surrounding skin for a slimmer, more defined facial profile.
Double chin lipo: How long does it take?
It is a day surgery procedure, meaning you’ll go home the same day after your surgery. The entire double chin liposuction procedure lasts 1 to 1.5 hours.
Double chin lipo: How it works
Double chin liposuction is designed to remove excess fat beneath the chin and tighten the skin, giving you a more sculpted and defined facial profile.
This minimally invasive procedure, performed in an accredited, MOH-approved Day Surgery Centre in Singapore, ensures a safe and comfortable experience, making you feel at ease throughout the process.
During the procedure, patients are placed under twilight sedation, a safer option than general anaesthesia. Small, strategically placed incisions allow for precise fat removal with minimal, discreet scarring, resulting in a smoother recovery and enhanced results.
Double chin lipo recovery
After undergoing double chin liposuction, patients will receive a post-surgery care pack, which includes medications, dressing packs, and a surgical facial compression garment.
As part of your recovery process, you must wear the facial compression garment around the clock for 8 weeks, even during sleep, to facilitate a smooth recovery. Sleep on your back during the initial recovery period. Following the double chin liposuction, some soreness can be expected.
Any bruising usually resolves within ten to fourteen days. You can expect minimal disruption to your daily activities.

FAQ on Double chin liposuction results
Does double chin lipo give you a jawline?
Definitely! Double chin liposuction can provide both men and women with a slimmer jawline, resulting in a more defined profile.
Does double chin lipo leave saggy skin?
Double chin liposuction not only permanently removes the submental fat layer beneath the chin but also stimulates collagen production in the treated area. However, if you have significant sagging skin due to rapid weight loss prior to the liposuction procedure, your skin may not retract as much compared to someone with good skin laxity.
What happens if you don't wear your facial compression garment after surgery?
The facial compression garment plays a vital role in post-surgery recovery. It helps minimise swelling by providing gentle pressure and supports the skin's retraction process as the face heals.
If you don't wear the compression garment as instructed, you may experience prolonged tissue swelling, which can delay your recovery. The garment helps reduce this swelling more quickly and ensures the skin settles smoothly over the treated areas, promoting better results.
How often should I massage my chin after lipo?
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) massage is valuable to post-lipo care. It helps to reduce fluid retention and prevents tissue hardening around the treated area.
The frequency of the massage varies based on your lipo doctor’s advice.
Typically, patients are recommended to begin MLD sessions a few days after surgery and continue them regularly for optimal results. Your lipo doctor will provide specific guidelines tailored to your recovery needs.
What happens if I lose weight after chin liposuction?
It's crucial to remember that liposuction is not a weight loss solution. Its primary goal is to target fat deposits in specific areas, such as under the chin. Understanding this fact is key to managing your expectations and making informed decisions about your post-liposuction weight loss journey.
Maintaining healthy lifestyle habits is key if you aim to lose weight after your surgery. Regular cardio workouts and a healthy diet can help you shed pounds while complementing and maintaining your liposuction results.
Can you talk after chin liposuction?
Yes, you can continue engaging your facial muscles for everyday activities like talking, eating, and smiling after chin liposuction, even while wearing your facial compression garment. The garment provides gentle pressure to aid healing and minimise swelling but doesn't restrict regular facial movements.
While some swelling around the chin and lower face is expected after the procedure, it typically subsides over time as your body heals. To ensure optimal recovery and results, it's important to follow your liposuction doctor's post-op care instructions, including wearing the compression garment as recommended.
What exercises target a double chin?
Many people think that working out regularly, getting daily facial massages, or even chewing on bubble gum can help reduce the appearance of a double chin. Unfortunately, this is a myth.
It's important to understand that spot exercises do not effectively target fat in specific body areas. Neither daily facial massages such as gua sha nor yoga exercises will work to reduce these stubborn submental fats.
