The procedure
A More Defined Jawline
Double chin liposuction, also known as jowl liposuction, removes excess superficial fat from the lower face and neck through small, hidden incisions, creating a more defined jawline and improved profile. It is a focused, minimally invasive option for patients whose main concern is localized fullness beneath the chin.
Dr. Leandro Junqueira evaluates the amount of fat present and the quality of the overlying skin to confirm that liposuction alone will achieve the definition you are looking for, or whether a complementary procedure would give a more complete result.
Why patients choose it
Defined Jaw Contour
Removing localized fat beneath the chin sharpens the transition from jaw to neck.
Minimally Invasive
Performed through very small, well hidden incisions with a comparatively quick procedure time.
Improved Profile
A leaner under-chin area enhances the side profile and overall facial balance.
Quick Recovery
Most patients return to routine activities within a matter of days.
Discreet Scarring
The tiny incisions used are placed to be virtually unnoticeable once healed.
Can Be Combined
Often paired with a neck lift when skin laxity, rather than fat alone, is also a concern.

Is Liposuction Enough, or Do I Need More?
The right approach depends on how much of the fullness beneath your chin comes from fat versus loose skin.
Liposuction Alone
Suited to patients with good skin elasticity whose main concern is excess fat rather than loose skin.
Liposuction with Neck Lift
When skin laxity or muscle banding is also present, combining liposuction with a neck lift addresses both fat and skin for a more complete correction.
Before and After
Double Chin Liposuction FAQ
Good candidates have localized fat beneath the chin with reasonably elastic skin that is expected to adapt well after the fat is removed. If skin laxity is more significant, a neck lift may be recommended alongside or instead of liposuction.
This depends on your skin quality. Patients with good elasticity generally see the skin adapt smoothly to the new contour. Skin quality is assessed during consultation to set the right expectations.
Most patients experience mild swelling and bruising for about a week and return to routine activities within three to seven days.
The fat cells removed do not return, so results are long lasting provided your weight remains stable afterward.
Yes. It is frequently combined with a neck lift, facelift or chin refinement when your goals call for a more complete lower-face result.
