Cleveland Submental Liposuction | Double Chin Surgery | Facial Plastic Surgeons

When to consider a liposuction for a double chin with Cleveland Facial Plastic Surgeon Dr. Dian Ponsky

LOCATED IN BEACHWOOD | SERVING CLEVELAND AND NORTHEAST OHIO

Genetics and cycles of weight gain and loss can leave deposits of stubborn fat that diet and exercise may not reduce. A double chin is one of the most common stubborn areas. Submental liposuction can improve the contour of the jawline and area beneath the chin, removing your double chin. For excess skin of the neck in addition to fullness, a neck lift may be recommended  for a more defined look.

Submental liposuction is a precise procedure that reduces excess fat from beneath the chin and upper neck. Performed by Cleveland facial plastic surgeon Dr. Diana Ponsky, the results can make a dramatic improvement, with the face appearing both younger and slimmer.

How It Helps


Submental liposuction resculpts the facial profile, affecting the entire face from the front and side views. A slimmer, toned profile restores a youthful appearance and elongates the neck. Once the fat cells are removed with liposuction, they cannot grow back, making this procedure long-lasting and maintenance-free.

Before

What to expect before a liposuction for a double chin

Dr. Diana Ponsky will begin your consultation by discussing your goals and expectations to create a plan to achieve realistic and satisfactory results. If you have photographs that would be helpful, please bring them. Along with an examination and photographing your face, you and your surgeon will discuss your health history, a recommended course of treatment, expected outcomes, and potential risks

During

What to expect during a liposuction for a double chin

The area is marked prior to the procedure and a numbing solution is injected. The liposuction cannula is inserted through tiny incisions, and the fat is then gently extracted. Attention to detail ensures a uniformly smooth improved contour.

After

What to expect after a submental liposuction

Swelling, tenderness and bruising is common right after submental liposuction. Many patients return to work 3-5 days after the procedure, with some variation based on the individual. You will need to wear a light compression bandage for about three days after the procedure to minimize swelling and provide gentle support. Elevating the head of your bed while sleeping reduces swelling and speeds recovery. The swelling will continue to gradually improve, revealing an improved neck contour.
