A Combined Approach to a More Defined Jawline Double Chin Liposuction + Platysmaplasty
At ONE Surgery & Aesthetics, treatment goes beyond simply removing excess fat. Our approach considers both fat accumulation and underlying muscle laxity to create a more balanced and defined lower-face contour.

1
Double Chin Liposuction
Submental Liposuction
Excess fat beneath the chin, along the jawline, and around the lower face is carefully removed using a fine cannula.
The procedure is designed to reduce unwanted fullness while minimising unnecessary trauma to surrounding tissue, helping create a smoother and more refined contour.
2
Neck Muscle Tightening
Platysmaplasty
For patients with underlying muscle laxity, liposuction alone may not fully address the cause of a poorly defined neck and jawline.
Through a small incision beneath the natural chin crease, the surgeon accesses the platysma muscle and brings separated muscle edges closer together.
This creates additional structural support beneath the chin and neck, helping improve neck contour and jawline definition.

Small, Discreet
Incision
When platysmaplasty is performed, a small incision of approximately 1.5–2 cm is positioned within the natural crease beneath the chin to make the resulting scar less noticeable.
Hospital-Standard
Operating Environment

ONE Aftercare
Our care continues beyond surgery with scheduled follow-up appointments and personalised post-operative guidance throughout your recovery.

Preparing for Double Chin LiposuctionBefore Your Procedure
Proper preparation can support a safer procedure and smoother recovery.
Medications & Supplements
Tell your surgeon about all medications, vitamins, and supplements you take. Certain medications and supplements that may affect bleeding may need to be adjusted before surgery under medical guidance.
Smoking & Alcohol
Your surgeon may advise avoiding smoking and alcohol before surgery, as they can interfere with healing and recovery.
Share Your Medical History
Inform the medical team about existing medical conditions, allergies, previous procedures, and medications you are currently taking.
Wear Comfortable Clothing
On the day of surgery, choose loose-fitting clothing that is easy to put on and remove, preferably with buttons or a front opening.
Attend All Follow-Up Appointments
Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments so your surgeon can monitor your recovery, assess your skin condition, and provide appropriate aftercare. ONE Surgery may also provide personalised aftercare treatments, such as skin-tightening massage or light therapy to help reduce swelling, depending on your individual recovery needs.

Preparing for Double Chin LiposuctionAfter Your Procedure
After submental liposuction, our team of nurses and experienced specialists will closely monitor your recovery and provide personalised guidance on wound care. You can feel confident that you will receive attentive, safe care throughout every stage of your recovery, helping you achieve the best possible results.
Wear Your Compression Garment
A compression garment may be recommended to help control swelling and support the treated area as it heals. Wear it for the duration recommended by your surgeon.
Keep the Incision Clean & Dry
Follow your medical team’s wound-care instructions carefully and avoid getting the incision wet until your surgeon advises that it is safe to do so.
Keep Moving Gently
Light walking is generally encouraged during early recovery to support circulation. Avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting until your surgeon clears you to resume these activities.
Avoid Fermented Foods, Seafood & Alcohol
Avoid fermented foods, seafood, and alcoholic beverages for at least 2–4 weeks to help reduce the risk of inflammation, swelling, bruising, or irritation around the incision area.
Attend Your Follow-Up Appointments
Regular follow-up appointments allow your surgeon to monitor healing, assess swelling and skin condition, and provide additional aftercare when appropriate.

10 — Q & A
Frequently Asked Questions About Double Chin Liposuction
Q : What is double chin liposuction?
A : Double chin liposuction, also known as submental liposuction, is a surgical procedure that removes localised fat from beneath the chin and around the jawline using a fine cannula. It can help create a more defined transition between the jawline and neck.
Q : Who is a good candidate for double chin liposuction?
A : It may be suitable for individuals with localised fat beneath the chin who are generally healthy and have appropriate skin elasticity. A consultation with a surgeon is required to determine whether liposuction alone or a combined procedure would be more appropriate.
Q : Will double chin liposuction make my jawline more defined?
A : Removing excess fat beneath the chin may improve the visibility of the jawline and neck contour. Results vary depending on factors such as fat distribution, skin elasticity and underlying facial anatomy.
Q : Is double chin liposuction painful?
A : Appropriate anaesthesia is used during the procedure. During recovery, patients may experience temporary tightness, tenderness, swelling or bruising.
Q : How long does swelling last?
A : Swelling and bruising are common following liposuction. They gradually improve during recovery, while the final contour may continue to settle over several weeks or months.
Q : Do I need to wear a compression garment?
A : Your surgeon may recommend a compression garment to help control swelling and support the treated area during healing. The recommended duration varies between patients.
Q : Will there be a scar?
A : Small incisions are required to insert the liposuction cannula. Scar appearance varies depending on incision placement, surgical technique and individual healing.
Q : When can I return to work?
A : Recovery varies between individuals and depends on the nature of your work. Some patients may be able to return to light work within several days, while strenuous activity usually requires a longer recovery period.
Q : Can a double chin come back after liposuction?
A : Fat cells removed during liposuction are removed from the treated area. However, remaining fat cells can still enlarge with future weight gain, so maintaining a stable weight can help preserve the result.
Q : What are the risks of double chin liposuction?
A : Possible risks include swelling, bruising, infection, fluid accumulation, temporary or persistent changes in sensation, contour irregularities, asymmetry and other surgical complications. Your surgeon will discuss individual risks with you before surgery.
