Chin Liposuction in NYC
Chin liposuction surgery in New York City performed by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Arnold Breitbart.
Frustrated by Your Double Chin?
Some areas of fat are simply more stubborn than others. Under the chin, even small pockets can blur the line between your face and neck.
Chin liposuction in NYC removes stubborn fat from beneath your chin and along your upper neck to create a sharper, more defined jawline. The procedure targets the submental area where fat tends to accumulate due to genetics, aging, or weight changes that don’t respond to diet and exercise alone.
Dr. Breitbart and the New York Liposuction Center understand how chin fat can affect your profile and confidence in photos and professional settings. We help you achieve the defined jawline and neck contour you’ve been working toward.

What to Know About Chin Liposuction in New York
Chin liposuction removes excess fat from the submental area beneath your chin and along your upper neck. The procedure eliminates the double chin appearance while creating better definition between your jawline and neck.
Dr. Breitbart performs chin liposuction using advanced tumescent technique through tiny incisions hidden in natural creases below your chin or behind your earlobes. A thin cannula is inserted to break up and suction away the excess fat that obscures your jawline definition. The procedure typically takes 30 to 45 minutes and can often be performed under local anesthesia with light sedation.
During your recovery, you’ll wear a compression garment around your chin and neck to support healing and reduce swelling as your skin contracts over your new contour. As the swelling decreases over the following days and weeks, your jawline becomes sharper and more defined.

Benefits of Chin Liposuction
Chin liposuction offers several benefits that can improve both your appearance and confidence:
Ideal Candidates for Chin Liposuction
Chin liposuction works best for people who have localized fat under the chin but are otherwise at or near their goal weight. Here’s who typically qualifies:
Stubborn Double Chin Despite Healthy Weight
You maintain a healthy lifestyle and body weight, but excess fat persists beneath your chin and creates a double chin appearance that diet and exercise won’t eliminate.
Good Skin Elasticity in Neck Area
Your chin and neck skin have enough natural firmness to contract smoothly after fat removal, which helps you achieve tight, defined contours.
Genetic Predisposition to Submental Fat
You inherited the tendency to accumulate fat under your chin from family members, which means the problem isn’t related to your overall fitness or weight.
Blurred Jawline Definition
Excess fat obscures the natural contour between your chin and neck, which prevents your jawline from appearing sharp and defined.
Age-Related Chin and Neck Changes
Fat has accumulated beneath your chin as you’ve aged, and the area between your face and neck lacks the definition it once had in your younger years.
Desire for Facial Profile Improvement
You want to enhance how your face looks in profile views and photos without the need for extensive surgery or long recovery periods.
Dr. Breitbart will evaluate your candidacy for chin liposuction in NYC during your initial consultation.
A free liposuction consultation helps you understand whether this procedure will achieve your aesthetic goals.
What to Expect During a Consultation at our New York Office
Your consultation begins with Dr. Breitbart examining the area beneath your chin and along your neck to assess the amount and distribution of fat while evaluating your skin quality and elasticity. He checks the submental region to determine whether you have primarily fatty tissue or also concerns with muscle or excess skin.
Dr. Breitbart discusses your specific concerns about your chin and jawline appearance and your goals for improvement. He explains whether chin liposuction alone will achieve the results you want or if combining it with procedures like a chin implant or neck lift might better address your needs. You’ll review what to expect during the procedure, how your recovery will progress, and see examples of jawline transformations he’s achieved for other patients.
Our New York office provides detailed pre-operative instructions and helps you prepare for your chin liposuction procedure. We ensure you understand every step of the process from preparation through final results, so you feel confident and informed when moving forward with treatment.
How to Prepare for Your Chin Liposuction
Proper preparation helps your procedure and recovery progress smoothly:
Compression Garment
Purchase a properly fitted chin and neck compression garment before your procedure date so it’s ready to wear immediately after surgery for support.
Button-Front Clothing
Prepare several loose button-front shirts or zip-up hoodies that won’t require pulling anything over your head, which makes dressing easier while your chin and neck are tender.
Ice Packs
Stock up on soft ice packs designed for facial use and arnica tablets to help manage swelling and bruising during the first few days of recovery.
Elevated Sleeping Position
Arrange extra pillows to create an elevated sleeping position with your head raised at about 30 degrees, which helps reduce swelling and promotes faster healing.
Stop Blood Thinners
Discontinue aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, fish oil, and any other supplements that thin your blood at least two weeks before surgery per Dr. Breitbart’s instructions.
Transportation
Confirm that a responsible adult can drive you home after your procedure and stay with you for at least the first 24 hours following treatment.
Preparing properly for chin liposuction in New York helps your recovery stay comfortable and on track.
Chin Liposuction Procedure Steps
Your chin liposuction procedure follows a careful sequence designed to remove fat while creating a naturally defined jawline.
Procedures Often Combined with Chin Liposuction
Some patients combine chin liposuction with other procedures to address multiple concerns in one treatment session.
Chin Implant
Many patients combine chin liposuction with a chin implant to enhance both projection and definition simultaneously. The implant adds forward projection to a receding or weak chin while liposuction removes the excess fat beneath it.
The combination addresses both structural and soft tissue concerns in a single surgery. You achieve a stronger chin profile with better projection forward and improved definition along your jawline and neck. This creates more dramatic improvement than either procedure alone could provide.
Neck Lift
Patients with significant loose skin or muscle banding in the neck often combine chin liposuction with a neck lift for complete rejuvenation. Liposuction removes the excess fat while the neck lift tightens underlying muscles and removes redundant skin.
This combination works especially well for patients with age-related changes that include both fat accumulation and skin laxity. The neck lift addresses what liposuction alone cannot fix, so you achieve the tight, defined neck contour you want. Results look natural and can take years off your appearance.

Chin Liposuction Recovery Timeline
Recovery from chin liposuction in New York progresses through stages, though your timeline may vary based on the extent of treatment.
Days 1-3
You’ll experience tightness, mild soreness, and noticeable swelling beneath your chin during this initial period. Your compression garment provides essential support and should be worn continuously. You should also keep your head elevated even while sleeping to minimize swelling and promote faster healing.
Days 3-7
Swelling and bruising peak around days three to four, then gradually begin improving as each day passes. You can perform light activities and desk work, though you should continue to avoid strenuous exercise and keep wearing your compression garment as directed throughout this first week of recovery.
Weeks 2-3
Swelling decreases noticeably and your jawline definition starts becoming more apparent throughout this phase. You can gradually resume moderate activities like brisk walking, and most people feel comfortable returning to social activities once the majority of visible bruising fades during this period.
Weeks 3-6
Your jawline continues refining as residual swelling resolves and your skin contracts more tightly over the new contour. You can resume most normal activities including moderate exercise, though you should still avoid activities that could impact your chin or neck area directly until fully healed.
3 Months
Your jawline achieves most of its final definition at this stage, with any remaining minor swelling barely noticeable. The improved contour you’ve been waiting to see becomes fully apparent, and incision sites have faded to thin, barely visible lines that blend into your natural skin creases.
6 Months and Beyond
Your results reach their final appearance as all healing is complete and your skin fully settles over the new contour. The fat cells removed during your procedure are gone permanently, so your improved jawline and neck definition last long-term as you maintain stable weight.

Chin Liposuction Case Study
This 58-year-old woman came to the New York Liposuction Center with one clear goal: to improve the contour of her neck.
Despite being in good overall health, she had developed a noticeable buildup of fat beneath her chin and along her neck, often referred to as a “double chin.” This excess volume gave her profile a much heavier appearance than she felt matched the rest of her body.
She wasn’t ready for a surgical neck lift and wanted a less invasive option that still offered meaningful results. After her consultation, SmartLipo liposuction of the neck was recommended as the ideal treatment for both fat reduction and skin tightening.
The Procedure
SmartLipo is a laser-assisted liposuction technique that gently melts fat before it’s removed through a thin cannula. For this patient, the laser also stimulated the deeper layers of the skin, helping to improve tightness and elasticity post-treatment, which is an especially important benefit for patients in their 50s and beyond.
The procedure was performed under local anesthesia, and the patient was comfortable throughout. The incisions were extremely small and hidden beneath the jawline. The entire session took under an hour, and she was able to return home the same day.
A Smooth Recovery
Recovery was straightforward and uneventful. She wore a compression garment around her neck for several days, which helped minimize swelling and supported the healing process. Bruising and tenderness were minimal and resolved quickly. By the end of the first week, she had already noticed a sleeker contour starting to emerge.
Most importantly, there were no complications. She followed all aftercare instructions carefully and returned for follow-up visits to monitor her healing progress. Each time, her results became more apparent.
The Transformation
The change in her profile has been significant. What once looked soft and undefined is now sharp and sculpted. Her jawline has reappeared, and the heaviness beneath her chin is completely gone. The skin along her neck is visibly tighter and younger in appearance.
What makes this case stand out is how natural her results look. Nothing about her face seems altered or artificial. It’s simply a better, more refreshed version of herself, which is exactly what she hoped for.
Case Study Summary
Since her procedure, she’s mentioned feeling much more confident during work meetings, family gatherings, and even casual selfies. She’s been thrilled with how such a small area of treatment made a big difference in how she sees herself.
SmartLipo neck liposuction offered her a minimally invasive solution with high-impact results, and without the need for more intensive surgery. It’s a great example of how targeted contouring can restore definition and boost self-image, especially in patients looking for a subtle but powerful transformation.
