Double Chin Removal Los Angeles | Marina Plastic Surgery

Feeling stuck with a double chin?

You're not alone. That pocket of under-chin fat, also called submental fat, can hang around no matter how much you diet or exercise. It can come from weight gain, aging, or just your genetics, and it's one of those things that's hard to ignore once you start noticing it. Double chin removal targets this specific area to reduce fullness, tighten loose skin, and help restore a more youthful jawline. It's not just about looking better in photos—it's about feeling more confident in your own skin.

What is Double Chin Removal?

Double chin removal is a targeted treatment focused on reducing excess fat, tightening skin, and restoring a more youthful, sculpted look. The process addresses submental fat—those unwanted fat cells under your chin that create a bulky or sagging appearance.

There are several ways to treat this area. For patients looking to avoid invasive surgery, we offer non-surgical treatments like deoxycholic acid injections, which are FDA-approved to break down and absorb fatty tissue over time. If you're dealing with both fat and excess skin or sagging skin, surgical procedures such as chin liposuction or a neck lift may be the better fit.

Every treatment plan is customized to match your skin condition, anatomy, and desired results. Whether you opt for a non-surgical solution or a more permanent surgical procedure, the goal is to reduce fullness, define the jaw, and refresh your overall appearance.

Double Chin Removal Benefits

A double chin can affect your self confidence and how you feel in photos, on video calls, or even when putting on clothes that highlight your neckline. Chin removal offers a reliable, effective solution to help restore your facial balance.

Benefits of double chin removal include:

More Defined Jawline: Enhances the contour between your face and neck, creating a sharper, more youthful jawline.
Slimmer Neck Area: Reduces bulkiness and smooths out the lower face for a cleaner profile.
Tighter, Smoother Skin: Removes or tightens excess skin that may be hanging due to aging or weight loss.
Boost in Self Confidence: Many patients feel more confident in their overall appearance after treatment.
Non-Surgical Options Available: Non-surgical procedures like deoxycholic acid injections require no incisions or extended downtime.
Long-Lasting Results: Once fat cells are removed or destroyed, they don't typically return—especially with a healthy lifestyle.

Double Chin Removal Candidates?

If you've tried to get rid of chin fat with diet and exercise but haven't seen results, you may be a good candidate for treatment. People of all genders and body types can struggle with under chin fat, especially as they age or experience weight fluctuations. While women often notice changes in this area after weight gain or pregnancy, it's also common in men due to genetics or the natural aging process.

Double chin removal can help treat:

Chin fat or under chin fat
Submental fullness from genetics or aging
Excess skin or sagging in the neck area
Poor jawline definition
Unwanted fat that doesn't respond to exercise

You may not be a good candidate if you have certain medical conditions, allergies, or skin sensitivities. During your initial consultation, we will help determine if non-surgical treatments or surgical procedures are the best route for you.

Consultation and Preparation

Your first step is a free consultation at Marina Plastic Surgery in Los Angeles. This visit is where we get to know you, your body, your goals, and what's bothering you about your appearance. We will examine your jaw, chin, and neck area to assess skin laxity, fat distribution, and overall facial structure.

Together, you'll go over all the available treatment options—non-surgical treatments, like FDA-approved injectables, or surgical options, such as liposuction and neck lift. Based on your goals and anatomy, we'll recommend a personalized treatment plan to help you get optimal results.

Before treatment, we may ask you to avoid certain medications, stop smoking, or follow special skincare instructions to ensure your body is prepared. Our team will walk you through everything so you know exactly what to expect.

Your Double Chin Removal Procedure

Non-surgical procedures: We'll apply a numbing agent and inject deoxycholic acid into the area under your chin. The substance targets and destroys unwanted fat cells over time. The treatment takes 30–45 minutes, and you may need multiple sessions for best results.

Surgical procedures: Chin liposuction and neck lift surgeries involve small incisions to remove fat and tighten skin. You'll receive local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the plan. These procedures typically take 1 to 1.5 hours.

Because every treatment is customized, your procedure may also combine methods to address both fat and excess skin, giving you a more complete result.

Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

Recovery depends on the treatment you choose:

Non-surgical treatments usually involve swelling, bruising, or minor pain that resolves in a few days. Most patients return to work the next day.
Surgical recovery typically involves a week or two of downtime. Expect some bruising and swelling in the neck and jaw area.

To help maintain your results:

Avoid alcohol and smoking before and after treatment
Stick to a healthy diet and regular exercise to avoid new weight gain
Follow all aftercare instructions for incision care and scar prevention
Use sunscreen and good skincare to maintain tight, healthy skin

Most patients start seeing results within a few weeks, with full results visible after several months. With proper care, those results can last for years.

How Much Does It Cost to Treat Double Chin?

The cost of double chin removal depends on the treatment that’s right for you. Non-surgical options like injections may have a lower upfront price, but they’re not always the best fit, especially if you're looking for more dramatic or longer-lasting results. In many cases, Dr. Perez may recommend a surgical approach like liposuction or a neck lift. These options do come with added costs for things like anesthesia and facility fees, but they also deliver more noticeable, lasting improvement for the right candidate.

During your free consultation, you’ll get a full breakdown of all pricing, including surgical and non-surgical options, and we’ll walk you through financing or payment plans so you can make a confident, informed choice.
