Even at a healthy weight, stubborn pockets of fat and slack skin beneath the chin can blur the jawline and add years to your appearance. Double-chin liposuction, powered by VASER ultrasonic sculpting and Renuvion helium-plasma tightening, removes excess fat and contracts loose tissue in a single, office-based procedure.

Why Do Double Chins Form?

A youthful neck relies on balanced fat distribution and firm, elastic skin. When that balance shifts, fullness collects under the chin.

  • Genetics: Some people naturally store submental fat, regardless of overall weight.
  • Age-Related Laxity: Collagen loss thins skin and weakens the platysma muscle sling.
  • Weight Fluctuations: Rapid gain or loss can stretch the skin beyond its ability to rebound.

What Is Double Chin Liposuction?

A sculpted neckline takes more than simply suctioning fat. At Allure Esthetic, we pair VASER ultrasonic liposuction with Renuvion helium-plasma tightening, so you leave with both a leaner profile and firmer skin in one streamlined procedure.

VASER® Precision Fat Removal

A pencil-thin probe delivers targeted ultrasound that liquefies submental fat while sparing nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. The emulsified fat is then removed through micro-cannulas, reducing trauma, bruising, and recovery time.

Renuvion (J-Plasma) Skin Tightening

Immediately after fat extraction, a cool helium-plasma stream, combined with radio-frequency energy, is directed beneath the skin. This contracts existing collagen fibers on contact and kick-starts months of new collagen production, no extra incisions required.

Why This Combo Outperforms Traditional Lipo

Standard suction techniques remove volume but leave loose skin behind. By integrating VASER’s gentle fat-melting with Renuvion’s 360° tightening, we correct both fullness and laxity in a single session, often eliminating the need for a future neck-lift.

Advantages of Double Chin Liposuction

Pairing VASER with Renuvion creates a synergistic effect, precise fat removal plus 360° tightening. Patients consistently report natural contours and renewed confidence.

  • Single Session, Dual Action: Fat reduction and skin contraction in one visit.
  • Micro-Incision Scarring: 3-mm entry points hidden in natural creases.
  • Local or Twilight Anesthesia: Skip the risks and cost of general anesthesia.
  • Rapid Return to Work: Desk duties possible in 48 hours; gym in 10–14 days.
  • Long-Term Definition: Fat cells are permanently removed; tightened skin ages more gracefully.

Are You a Right Candidate?

Most healthy adults with pinchable fat beneath the chin qualify. Read the overview, then check the bullet list.

  • Stable body weight
  • Mild to moderate skin laxity (no platysmal banding)
  • Non-smoker or willing to quit six weeks before and after surgery
  • No uncontrolled medical conditions (e.g., diabetes, bleeding disorders)
  • Realistic expectations about subtle, natural-looking results

Procedure Walk-Through

On the day of surgery, Dr. Sajan first marks the under-chin area and infuses a tumescent anesthetic solution to keep you comfortable and minimize bleeding. A pencil-thin VASER® probe then emits ultrasound energy that gently liquefies the unwanted fat while preserving nerves and blood vessels. Once the fat is emulsified, it is suctioned out through micro-cannulas, allowing the doctor to sculpt a crisp cervico-mental angle with remarkable precision. Immediately afterward, he passes the Renuvion® helium-plasma device beneath the skin; the controlled burst of radio-frequency heat contracts existing collagen fibers and triggers new collagen growth for months to come. A light compression garment is placed before you head home, typically within an hour, helping to control swelling and further refine your new, streamlined profile.

Recovery & Results Timeline

Most patients experience mild swelling and bruising for the first three days and can return to desk work within 48 hours. Bruising fades by the end of week one, with visible contour showing in two to three weeks. Light exercise is allowed after 10 days, and full workouts resume in three weeks. Collagen continues to tighten the skin for up to six months, revealing the final, sharply defined jawline.

Double Chin Lipo vs. Kybella vs. CoolSculpting

Choosing the right approach depends on how quickly you want results, whether you need skin tightening, and how many visits you are willing to make.

Double-Chin Liposuction (VASER + Renuvion)

One procedure under local or twilight anesthesia removes fat and contracts skin in a single session. Swelling and bruising peak in the first few days, but most people return to desk work within 48 hours and the gym in about two weeks. Because fat cells are permanently removed and collagen continues to tighten for months, a repeat treatment is rarely needed.

Kybella® Injections

Deoxycholic-acid shots chemically dissolve fat, but they do not tighten loose skin. Most patients need two to four rounds spaced six to eight weeks apart, and each session brings “bullfrog” swelling that can last up to two weeks. The cumulative cost often meets or exceeds the price of surgical lipo once all sessions are complete.

CoolSculpting® (Cryolipolysis)

Controlled cooling freezes fat cells so the body can absorb them over two to three months. Mild tingling and temporary numbness are common, but significant tightening is unlikely, and one to two cycles are usually required. Overall downtime is minimal, yet results build slowly and may be subtle if skin laxity is present.

If you want the fastest, most dramatic change with built-in skin tightening, VASER liposuction plus Renuvion is typically the most efficient solution. Kybella and CoolSculpting can shrink smaller fat pockets with less initial downtime, but they involve multiple visits, do not address lax skin, and may end up costing more in the long run.

Frequently
Asked Questions

Is Renuvion with lipo worth it?

For patients with even mild skin laxity, adding Renuvion’s helium-plasma tightening to liposuction typically delivers a crisper neck angle and longer-lasting results than suction alone, often eliminating the need for a future neck-lift.

What is the difference between VASER lipo and Renuvion?

VASER liquefies fat with ultrasonic energy so it can be gently suctioned out, targeting volume. Renuvion, by contrast, uses helium-plasma and radio-frequency heat to contract existing collagen and stimulate new collagen, targeting skin laxity.

What is VASER and Renuvion?

VASER (Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance) is an ultrasonic body-contouring system that emulsifies fat through tiny probes. Renuvion (also called J-Plasma) is a helium-plasma device that firms the underside of the skin by delivering a controlled burst of radio-frequency energy.

What is the best liposuction for a double chin?

A combined VASER liposuction plus Renuvion approach gives the most comprehensive outcome—permanent fat removal with simultaneous skin tightening—making it the current gold standard for refining the jawline in a single session.
