As we age, fat accumulates beneath the chin and skin elasticity decreases, leading to a double chin and the loss of a defined jawline. Tumescent liposuction is the most effective method for submental fat removal, particularly for patients who wish to avoid the prolonged recovery, scarring, and potential complications associated with facelift surgery.
Liposuction of the saggy chin and jowl area is one of the most effective facial procedures, addressing the common signs of aging seen in people in their 40s and 50s. The procedure removes only the fat that has accumulated between the platysma muscle -- the thin neck muscle that becomes visible when you clench your jaw -- and the skin.

Fat beneath the platysma muscle cannot be removed due to the risk of injury to the airway, nerves, and blood vessels. When performed with micro cannulas, the procedure produces a smooth, even result without surface irregularities. To promote skin contraction, laser or VASER ultrasound technology may be employed. Extreme care must be taken to avoid facial nerve and vascular damage, which could cause not only bleeding but also facial muscle paralysis.
In cases of significant skin laxity around the chin, third-generation VASER-assisted liposuction or Nd:YAG laser lipolysis (SmartLipo) may be used prior to suctioning to accelerate skin tightening.
Many young women undergo facial liposuction combined with fat transfer to achieve a refined V-line facial contour.
The advantage of facial fat transfer extends beyond simply filling hollow areas like a dermal filler. The growth factors contained within the transferred fat cells also improve skin quality and elasticity, providing anti-aging benefits. Venus Clinic has extensive experience with comprehensive facial fat transfer, targeting areas such as the forehead, temples, under-eyes, nasolabial folds, cheeks, and chin.
Please note that before-and-after photos of facial fat transfer are not publicly displayed, as the privacy masking required makes it difficult to appreciate the overall improvements.
