Liposuction under the chin (submental suction-assisted lipectomy) is a surgical procedure performed to remove unwanted deposits of fat from beneath the chin (“double chin”) and to improve jawline definition.

• “Standard” submental liposuction is performed specifically to reduce or remove a double chin.

• “Extended” submental liposuction is performed to remove a horizontal “band” of excessive fat that extends beneath the jawline, providing reduction in the appearance of heaviness of the neck.
