The Jawline

Define the line between chin and neck.

Quick answer: Chin and neck liposuction, clinically submental liposuction, is tumescent liposuction under the chin. Fat is removed under local anesthesia while you are awake, at Rejuvenation Dermatology in Calgary. A typical session takes about 30 to 60 minutes with a few days of downtime.

The pocket under the chin is the smallest area we treat and often the most noticeable. It softens the angle between jaw and neck, shows in every photo taken from below, and has almost nothing to do with body weight. Plenty of lean people carry a full submental pocket purely through genetics.

Tumescent liposuction addresses it in a single short visit. The area is numbed, then fine cannulas remove the fat pad under the chin, restoring the crisp angle where the jawline meets the neck. Because the volume is small, the session is quick and the change to your profile is immediate.

Why It Works

Why the jawline is worth doing well.

01

Your most photographed angle

The jaw-to-neck line frames every photo and video call, which is why a small change reads as a large one.

02

Not about body weight

Submental fat is largely genetic. It often persists at any weight, which is why diet rarely resolves it.

03

The shortest session we do

Most chin procedures run 30 to 60 minutes, with about 2 to 4 days of meaningful downtime.

04

Fine cannulas, small volumes

The submental area is treated with finer instruments and a lighter touch than body areas.

05

Neck skin needs assessing

If the fullness is skin laxity rather than fat, liposuction alone will not fix it, and we say so.

06

Awake and comfortable

Local tumescent anesthesia means no general anesthetic and no hospital stay.

Know Your Options

Liposuction vs Belkyra.

Under the chin you have two real options. Both reduce submental fat, and they suit different people.

Belkyra (deoxycholic acid)
How fat is removed
Removed directly through fine cannulas
An injectable dissolves fat cells over time
Sessions
Usually one
Typically two to four, spaced weeks apart
Amount of reduction
Larger, more sculpted reduction
Modest reduction per session
Anesthesia
Local tumescent, awake
Topical numbing
Downtime
A few days
Swelling for several days after each session
Result timing
Weeks, refining over months
Builds across the treatment series
Best suited for
A defined fat pocket, one visit
Smaller pockets, needle over cannula

General comparison only. Rejuvenation Dermatology offers both, and also treats this area with other approaches. See Belkyra and our double chin removal overview. Your physician recommends the approach that fits your anatomy.

What to Expect

Your jawline, start to settled.

01

Consultation

Your physician examines the submental pocket and the neck skin, and confirms whether fat is what is actually causing the fullness.

02

The procedure

The area is numbed with tumescent solution. Fine cannulas remove the fat pad through tiny entry points, usually in about 30 to 60 minutes.

03

The first week

A chin strap is worn as the area settles. Most people are back to normal routines within about 2 to 4 days.

04

Your result

The profile changes within weeks as swelling settles, with the jawline continuing to sharpen over several months.

Questions

Frequently asked questions about chin liposuction.

What is chin liposuction?

Chin liposuction, clinically submental liposuction, is tumescent liposuction under the chin. The area is numbed with local anesthetic, then fine cannulas remove the fat pad while you are awake, sharpening the jawline. Read about the technique on our tumescent liposuction Calgary page.

Chin liposuction or Belkyra, which is better for me?

Liposuction removes more fat in one visit. Belkyra is an injectable that dissolves fat over a series of sessions. Larger pockets and a preference for one visit favour liposuction; smaller pockets may do well with injections. See our double chin removal overview.

Is my double chin fat or loose skin?

Both are common and they need different treatments. Your physician assesses this at consultation, because liposuction reduces fat and does not tighten lax skin.

Will chin liposuction help if I am not overweight?

Often, yes. Submental fat is largely genetic and frequently persists in people at a healthy, stable weight.

How long is recovery after chin liposuction?

Most people return to normal routines within about 2 to 4 days, wearing a chin strap as the area settles. Swelling improves over weeks and the jawline keeps refining over several months.

Will there be visible scars?

Entry points are only a few millimetres and are placed under the chin and behind the ears, where they are very difficult to see once healed.

How much does chin liposuction cost in Calgary?

The chin is the smallest area we treat and cost reflects that. Pricing is reviewed at your consultation.
