This procedure removes excess fat beneath the chin and tightens the neck’s platysma muscle to correct a heavy, sagging “double-chin” appearance.
Ideal for anyone who feels they have…
- A visible double chin
- Sagging skin beneath the jawline
Procedure Details
A small incision is made along the natural submental crease. Superficial and deep fat layers are carefully removed under direct vision.
A second 3–4 cm incision allows wide dissection under the neck skin so surplus cheek- and submental fat can be excised. The left and right platysma edges are pulled together in the midline, secured, and the wounds are closed.

Daily Life

Alcohol consumption, bathing, and exercise should be resumed no earlier than one week after surgery.
