ALTERNATIVES
For those seeking a non-surgical approach, consider Morpheus8:
What is Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is a cutting-edge treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to tighten skin, improve texture, and stimulate collagen production. While it doesn’t remove fat, Morpheus8 is an excellent option for addressing mild skin laxity and improving skin quality in the chin and neck area.
For more dramatic and permanent results, submental liposuction is the gold standard.
COMPLEMENTARY
Enhance your results by combining submental liposuction with these complementary treatments:
Neck Lift: Tighten loose skin and muscles in the neck for a fully rejuvenated appearance.
Morpheus8: Improve skin texture and firmness with this radiofrequency microneedling treatment.
FaceTite: Tighten and contour the face and neck with advanced radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis.
These treatments work beautifully with submental liposuction to create a cohesive, youthful transformation.
RESULTS
Submental liposuction delivers long-lasting results by permanently removing fat cells from the treated area. You’ll enjoy a more defined jawline, a sculpted neck, and a sleeker profile. While the procedure offers permanent fat reduction, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is essential to prevent future fat accumulation.
RECOVERY
Recovery from submental liposuction is typically quick and manageable:
First Few Days: Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are normal and can be managed with prescribed medications and cold compresses.
1 Week: Most patients feel comfortable resuming light activities within 5-7 days.
2-3 Weeks: Swelling continues to subside, and early results become visible.
3-6 Months: Final results emerge as the skin tightens and contours settle.
Our team will provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to support your recovery and ensure optimal results.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Submental liposuction is performed in our Manhattan office’s JCAHO-certified surgical suite under local anesthesia with sedation. The procedure typically takes 1-2 hours.
Here’s what to expect:
Before Surgery: Dr. Schwarcz will mark the treatment areas and review the surgical plan with you.
During Surgery: Tiny incisions are made under the chin, and a small cannula is inserted to remove excess fat. The area is carefully sculpted to enhance the jawline and neck contours.
After Surgery: You’ll rest in our recovery area before heading home with detailed aftercare instructions.
This minimally invasive approach ensures minimal scarring and a shorter recovery period.
PLANNING
Proper preparation ensures a smooth recovery and the best possible results. Key steps include:
Timing: Schedule your procedure at least 3-4 weeks before major events to allow for healing.
Time Off: Plan for 5-7 days of downtime for the initial recovery phase.
Lifestyle Adjustments: Quit smoking and minimize alcohol consumption to support healing.
Medications: Avoid blood thinners, aspirin, and supplements like vitamin E for at least two weeks prior to surgery.
Support: Arrange for transportation and assistance on the day of your procedure.
Dr. Schwarcz will provide detailed pre-operative instructions tailored to your needs.
NOT CANDIDATES
Submental liposuction may not be suitable for individuals who:
Have significant skin laxity that would benefit more from a neck lift or FaceTite.
Are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Have uncontrolled medical conditions, such as diabetes or hypertension.
Have unrealistic expectations about the results.
Dr. Schwarcz will recommend the most appropriate treatment plan for your unique needs.
candidates
You may be an excellent candidate for submental liposuction if you:
Have excess fat under the chin or along the neck that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise.
Desire a more defined jawline and sleeker neck profile.
Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcome.
Have good skin elasticity to ensure smooth results after fat removal.
A consultation with Dr. Schwarcz will help determine if submental liposuction is the right option for you.
THE PROCEDURE
Submental liposuction is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to remove stubborn fat deposits under the chin and along the neck. This procedure is ideal for patients who struggle with a double chin or lack of jawline definition despite maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
During the procedure, a small cannula is inserted through tiny incisions under the chin. The excess fat is gently suctioned out, and the area is sculpted for a smooth, contoured appearance. The procedure is often combined with other treatments, such as Morpheus8 or FaceTite, to tighten skin and further refine the results.
This targeted approach delivers a more defined neck and jawline, restoring balance and harmony to your facial features.
LIPOSUCTION
Submental liposuction, commonly known as double chin removal, is a surgical procedure that targets and removes excess fat beneath the chin and along the neck. This minimally invasive technique sculpts the jawline, enhances facial definition, and creates a sleeker, more youthful profile. Dr. Robert Schwarcz, a double board certified oculofacial plastic surgeon in NYC, performs submental liposuction in our Manhattan office’s JCAHO-certified surgical suite to ensure optimal safety and results. Complementary treatments such as neck lift, Morpheus8, and FaceTite can further enhance your results, while Morpheus8 alone offers a non-surgical alternative. Consultations and follow-ups are available in both Manhattan, NY, and Rye, NY locations. If you’re looking for submental liposuction in NYC, trust Dr. Schwarcz for natural-looking, transformative results.
