ToggleWhat is Chin Liposuction?
Chin liposuction (also called submental liposuction) is a precise surgical procedure that removes excess fat beneath the chin and along the upper neck.
The goal isn’t just fat removal—it’s restoring definition between your chin and neck so your profile looks cleaner, sharper, and more structured.
Unlike weight loss, which shrinks fat cells, this procedure removes fat cells permanently in the treated area.
Why Patients Choose Chin Liposuction
Most patients we see fall into one of these categories:
- You’re fit—but still have a double chin
- Your face looks heavier than your body
- You’ve noticed loss of jawline definition with age
- You want a sharper profile in photos and in person
This is one of the highest ROI facial procedures because it directly impacts how your entire face is perceived.

Cannot recommend Dr. Rice enough! She’s truly an expert at what she does. Not only is she an amazing surgeon but she always makes me feel safe, comfortable, and at ease. She’s communicative and let me text her questions any time so I never felt unsure or anxious at any point before, during, or after my procedure. You are getting the best of the best with her.Posted on Google![]()

If you have a specific outcome in mind and you're hesitant about choosing the right provider for something so important, keep reading. Dr. Rice was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. Sometimes in a provider that also means you lose personability, but this was not the case. Her demeanor was kind, witty, and comfortable! I felt supported through the entire process from consultation to payment to procedure day. I had chin liposuction performed in-office in 2025. The recovery was minimal and exactly as Dr. Rice described. As the months passed, I continued to notice improvements, but now, 7 months later, I absolutely love my results. The difference in my side profile—especially my jawline—has been significant, and I'm so happy I chose to move forward with the procedure. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Rice to anyone considering chin liposuction or looking for a provider who combines skill with genuine compassion.Posted on Google![]()

Dr. Rice is truly exceptional. As a 2026 bride (September!) who recently moved back to Chicago, finding someone I could completely trust with my face for Botox and filler felt overwhelming. After seeing Dr. Rice, I honestly can't imagine going to anyone else. Not only is she incredibly skilled and knowledgeable, but she genuinely cares about her patients. She took the time to listen to my concerns, answer every question, and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the entire process. Her warmth, empathy, and sense of humor made the experience just as enjoyable as the results themselves. I've had less-than-great experiences in the past, so finding a physician who values a natural, personalized approach has been invaluable. Every time I leave her office, I feel refreshed, confident, and like the best version of myself. If you're looking for the very best in the Chicagoland area, I cannot recommend Dr. Rice highly enough.Posted on Google![]()

Dr. Rice is not only an excellent and thoughtful doctor, but also someone who practices real empathy and patience with her patients. I initially scheduled a consultation with her, but due to another appointment running over, I had to leave early to get to work, miss my botox treatment, and was understandably frustrated. Dr. Rice personally took the time to email me afterward to apologize, and that level of care and accountability truly made a difference. I decided to return for my appointment, and I’m so glad I did. The results were incredible, and the entire experience afterward completely restored my confidence. I highly recommend Dr. Rice to anyone looking for both exceptional results and compassionate care.Posted on Google![]()

I am so happy to see that Dr. Rice has opened up her own clinic in Chicago. I have worked with her for years. She fixed my lips and does an amazing job every time! She also administers my Botox and has educated me so much on skincare. I can't wait to do skinpen and peels in the winter!Posted on Google![]()

I’ve trusted Dr. Rice with several procedures, and her level of talent and consistency truly sets her apart. She has a refined eye for detail and balance, which is clearly reflected in her results. Most recently, I underwent facial fat grafting and couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome—it’s subtle, beautifully balanced, and incredibly natural. I would highly recommend her to anyone considering facial fat grafting, especially if you’re seeking a refreshed, natural-looking result.Posted on Google![]()

There truly are not enough words to describe how exceptional Dr. Rice is. Choosing her for my procedures was one of the best decisions I have ever made, and I share that with deep gratitude. I underwent a neck lift, upper and lower blepharoplasty, and a very complex breast surgery that included a reduction, lift, Motiva implants, and mesh support, essentially a built-in internal bra. This was also my third breast surgery, so I came into this experience with a lot of perspective and very high expectations. After two previous surgeries with another surgeon that still left me far larger than I wanted, I knew how important it was to find someone with true technical mastery, vision, and precision. From the very first consultation, Dr. Rice made me feel completely heard, respected, and safe. She listened carefully to my goals, understood the nuances of my prior surgeries, and approached my case with an incredible level of thoughtfulness and detail. She never rushed me, explained everything thoroughly, and set realistic expectations while still instilling total confidence. The results are beyond anything I could have imagined. They are natural, beautifully proportioned, and truly life-changing. My neck and eyes look refreshed and elegant, not overdone, and my breast results are exactly what I had hoped for after years of trying to get it right. The internal mesh support alone has been transformative in terms of shape, lift, and long-term stability. Dr. Rice combines extraordinary surgical skill with meticulous attention to detail and genuine care for her patients. She holds herself to an incredibly high standard, and it shows in every aspect of her work and patient experience. If you are looking for a surgeon who delivers not only stunning results but also compassion, honesty, and precision, Dr. Rice is simply in a league of her own. I am profoundly grateful for her expertise and the life-changing work she has done for me.Posted on Google![]()

Dr Rice performed a fat transfer to my breast and a tummy tuck almost three years ago. I’m 61 and have three children. So if you had kids, you know that upper fat is gone! I now have breasts that look better than when I was a teenager! Perky and Very Full still I had a few mammograms and did not mention the transfer, and they all came out great. I only lost around 30% of the initial fat. I was a fried egg flat A/B cup and now I’m a full C cup with cleavage and everything!!! The top half is full and seamless , no indentations of fakeness at all!! Now to the tummy tuck Girllll my tummy is snatched!! navel looks great and my scar looks like the V you have while wearing a thong!!! Flat, thin and smooth Oh and I forgot to mention, she removed the fat from my back, so my waist is snatched too! I cannot thank her enough. So if you’re thinking about any of these procedures, she is the best. She’s professional, knowledgeable, caring, kind, easy to talk to and cute too! Just like having your girlfriend taking care of you. She is that girl!!Posted on Google![]()

I won a lip filler giveaway and my experience from beginning to end was amazing. Dr. Dahlia and Paula are so sweet, very thorough, and kept me informed along every step of the way. We did before and after pictures and the results were stunning. I’m so happy with the way my lips came out and have loved wearing lipstick again. I am looking forward to going back to DMR for any other cosmetic procedures I may want in the future. Thank you ladies!!!!Posted on Google![]()

Chin Lipo Before And After Photos
Who Is a Good Candidate?
You’re likely a strong candidate if you:
- Have localized fat under the chin
- Maintain a stable weight
- Have good skin elasticity
- Are in overall good health
If you have loose or sagging skin, liposuction alone may not be enough. In those cases, Dr. Rice may recommend a neck lift or combination approach for optimal results.
-
Good skin elasticity
-
Stable body weight
-
Non-smoker
-
Commitment to a healthy lifestyle
How Chin Liposuction Is Performed
Chin liposuction is a precise, minimally invasive procedure designed to remove excess fat beneath the chin and create a more defined, natural-looking jawline.
Using a refined microcannula technique, your surgeon makes small, carefully placed incisions—typically hidden under the chin or behind the ears—to ensure minimal visibility. A thin, specialized cannula is then used to gently remove unwanted fat while sculpting the area for smooth, balanced contours.
The focus is not just fat removal, but shaping—so the result looks natural, not overdone.
Most chin liposuction procedures are performed under local anesthesia for comfort and safety. The treatment typically takes less than an hour, and because it’s an outpatient procedure, you’ll be able to return home the same day.
With an experienced, board-certified surgeon, patients can expect a controlled, detail-oriented approach that prioritizes both aesthetic outcome and long-term skin harmony.
Contact DMR Aesthetics to find the best option for removing fat deposits for better neck lipo results.
Chin Liposuction Results: What to Expect
Patients typically notice:
- A sharper jawline
- Reduction or elimination of a double chin
- Better facial balance in profile
- More defined neck-to-chin transition
Timeline:
- Days 1–7: swelling + early shape
- 2–4 weeks: visible improvement
- 2–3 months: final results
Submental Liposuction Recovery and Downtime
Chin lipo Recovery Chicago is one of the biggest advantages with this procedure.
Most patients return to work within a few days, experience mild swelling and bruising, wear a compression garment for support, and avoid intense activity for about 2–3 weeks.
By week one, most visible bruising is significantly reduced.
Risks & Safety
Chin liposuction is generally safe, but like any surgical procedure, there are risks to consider:
- Swelling and bruising
- Infection (rare)
- Temporary numbness
- Irregular contour if poorly performed
Dr. Rice discusses all risks in detail during your consultation so you can make an informed decision.
Chin Liposuction vs Other Options
Not everyone needs surgery.
Depending on your anatomy, alternatives may include:
- Kybella (fat-dissolving injections)
- Skin tightening treatments such as radiofrequency (RF) or ultrasound
However, for moderate to significant fat under the chin, liposuction remains the most predictable and effective option for creating a defined, lasting contour.
How Long Do Results Last?
Results are considered long-lasting, as the fat cells removed during chin liposuction do not grow back.
However, it’s important to understand that:
- Weight gain can affect the remaining fat cells
- Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle helps preserve results
Cost of Chin Liposuction in Chicago
Chin lipo price varies based on several factors, including:
- The amount of fat being removed
- The complexity of the case
- Whether it is combined with other procedures
We do not list pricing online because every case is unique.
A consultation allows Dr. Rice to evaluate your anatomy, recommend the most appropriate approach, and provide accurate, personalized pricing.

Chin Liposuction FAQS
What To Expect with Chin liposuction After 1 Week?
Throughout the remainder of the initial week, anticipate gradual improvement in how you feel each day. If you begin to notice results from your chin liposuction after one week, you’re progressing well. The reduction of swelling and bruising, along with the initiation of skin retraction as your incisions heal, is expected during this time.
How Long Do Chin Lipo Results Last?
As your body is incapable of generating new fat cells, the outcomes of this procedure are permanent. Following the completion of the chin lipo procedure, there will consistently be fewer excess fat cells in your chin. Nevertheless, it’s crucial to recognize that maintaining a healthy lifestyle is essential once the procedure is complete.
How Painful is Chin Liposuction?
Following your procedure, it’s common to experience swelling in the chin area along with mild discomfort. Mild to moderate swelling around the incisions and in the treated area is typical. Inflammation typically reaches its peak several days into the recovery process, gradually subsiding within two week.
Will I Have a Chin Lipo Scar?
While post-surgical scars are unavoidable, advancements in techniques and the strategic placement of minor incisions often make them noticeable only to you.
Our board-certified surgeon Dr. Rice employ meticulous care in closing chin lipo incisions, aiming to optimize healing and minimize the visibility of scars.
How much is a double chin reduction?
The cost of double chin reduction varies depending on the technique used, the surgeon’s experience, and whether it’s combined with other procedures. A personalized consultation with Dr. Rice is the best way to determine what option fits your goals and needs.

Does Liposuction Under Chin Leave Saggy Skin?
The occurrence of loose, saggy neck skin post liposuction has the same effects observed after weight loss in other body areas. The swifter and greater the weight loss, the higher the likelihood of sagging skin. Unlike a gradual fat reduction over time, neck liposuction removes fat all at once, potentially contributing to loose and saggy neck skin.
How Long is Chin Liposuction Bruising Last?
One week post-chin liposuction, the recovery process is largely finished. At this point, the sutures can be removed, and a significant reduction in swelling and bruising is expected, if not entirely subsided.
What Can Go Wrong With Chin Lipo?
Common side effects linked to chin liposuction include pain, fever, and the risk of infection. It’s typical to experience side effects such as redness, irritation, or pain in the aftermath of this procedure, and these symptoms typically resolve on their own within about a week.
Are chin lipo side effects permanent?
Most side effects are temporary. Swelling and firmness can last several weeks, but permanent side effects are uncommon when the procedure is performed properly and aftercare instructions are followed.
