Chin Liposuction
Chin liposuction, also known as submental liposuction, is a popular cosmetic procedure that targets excess fat beneath the chin, helping to create a more youthful and sculpted profile. Dr. Roomana Akhlaque, a skilled and experienced plastic surgeon, offers chin liposuction as a highly effective solution for patients seeking to improve the contour of their chin and jawline. Whether it’s hereditary fat deposits or age-related changes, this procedure can help restore balance and definition to the lower face.
What is Chin Liposuction?
Chin liposuction involves the removal of stubborn fat from the submental area (the area beneath the chin) to create a smoother, more sculpted neckline. The procedure is minimally invasive, using small incisions to insert a thin cannula that gently suctions away fat. Unlike other non-surgical treatments, chin liposuction delivers permanent results, as the fat cells removed do not regenerate.
Dr. Roomana Akhlaque uses advanced liposuction techniques to ensure minimal downtime, reduced risk of complications, and optimal outcomes. By carefully assessing each patient’s unique anatomy, she customizes the procedure to achieve a natural-looking, proportional result that enhances the overall appearance of the face.

- Improved Facial Proportions: Excess fat under the chin can create the appearance of a double chin, which may make individuals feel self-conscious or less confident. Chin liposuction removes this fat, helping to restore a more defined jawline and youthful profile, which can dramatically improve facial proportions.
- Permanent Results: Unlike weight loss, which can shrink fat cells but may not eliminate fat from specific areas, chin liposuction permanently removes the fat cells from the treated area. This results in long-lasting improvements, provided the patient maintains a stable weight.
- Minimally Invasive: Chin liposuction is a relatively quick procedure with minimal scarring. Dr. Akhlaque makes tiny, discreet incisions that are carefully hidden beneath the chin to ensure they are not visible after healing.
- Quick Recovery: Compared to traditional surgical procedures, chin liposuction has a relatively short recovery time. Most patients can return to their regular activities within a few days, although some swelling and bruising may persist for a week or two.
What to Expect During the Procedure?
Before the procedure, Dr. Roomana Akhlaque conducts a thorough consultation to understand your aesthetic goals, evaluate your facial structure, and determine the best approach for chin liposuction. During the procedure, local anesthesia is typically used to ensure the patient remains comfortable.
Once the anesthesia takes effect, Dr. Akhlaque makes small incisions beneath the chin, through which she inserts the cannula. Using controlled movements, the fat is gently suctioned out, and the area is sculpted to create a smooth, defined contour. The procedure typically lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the extent of treatment.
Post-Procedure Care and Recovery
After chin liposuction, patients may experience some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed pain relievers. Dr. Akhlaque recommends wearing a compression garment for a few days to help reduce swelling and ensure the skin adheres to the new contour.
Most patients can return to work or light activities within a few days, although strenuous exercises and activities should be avoided for about 2 to 3 weeks.
Full results are usually visible after about 6 to 8 weeks, once swelling has fully subsided.
