Some individuals may experience localised fat beneath the chin due to genetic factors, which can persist despite a healthy lifestyle. For those considering a surgical option, chin liposuction is one treatment that may assist in addressing this area and supporting a contoured appearance of the jawline and neck.
What is Chin Liposuction?
Chin liposuction is a procedure designed to remove excess fat beneath the chin through a small incision, usually placed in a discreet area under the jawline. A thin tube, known as a cannula, is used to carefully suction the targeted fat. The goal is to assist in contouring the transition between the chin and neck.
At Absolute Cosmetic, chin liposuction is performed under sterile conditions in our Health Department licensed Nedlands hospital clinic. Every procedure is tailored to suit the individual’s anatomy and surgical goals. A full consultation with a qualified practitioner is required to determine if chin liposuction is appropriate.
How is Chin Liposuction Performed?
At Absolute Cosmetic, chin liposuction is typically performed under local anaesthesia with light sedation. This approach allows Dr Murray to work carefully and methodically, supporting precision during the procedure.
A small incision is made, usually placed discreetly under the jawline, and a fine cannula is used to gently remove the targeted fat deposits. Once the planned amount of fat is removed, the incision is closed, and a supportive garment or dressing is applied to assist with healing.
What is the Recovery Like?
Recovery varies between individuals but often involves swelling, bruising, and tightness in the treated area. Light activities can usually be resumed within a few days, although it is important to follow all aftercare instructions from Absolute Cosmetic carefully.
A supportive garment may be worn for a period of time to assist with swelling and to help support contouring during the healing process. Final results may take several months to fully develop as swelling subsides and tissues settle.
How Much is Chin Liposuction?
At Absolute Cosmetic, we are unable to provide a complete, all-inclusive price for chin liposuction without an in-person consultation. Each patient’s anatomy, goals, and surgical requirements differ, and we believe it is important to address all questions and considerations during your consultation. However, as a guide, our liposuction procedures are generally charged from $2,200 per area (*Excluding theatre fee, post-surgical garments/creams, and post-operative medications).
