Double chin removal surgery is the procedure of removing the fat tissues and tightening the muscles underneath the chin to eliminate the appearance of a double chin. Many people don’t feel comfortable when extra fat starts to deposit under the chin, as it can significantly affect the overall jaw and facial profile. Hence, they opt for surgery to get the desired shape and contours around the chin.
A double chin can be corrected in three ways-
The patient’s skin profile is examined carefully to decide which technique would be most suitable for double chin removal. If an individual has loose skin, liposuction or submentoplasty may not be recommended for him/her. In such cases, the doctor will perform a neck lift to eliminate the double chin.

Though double chin removal is safe, not everyone can qualify for it. An individual is considered a good candidate for chin liposuction if he or she meets the following criteria-
There are three techniques that can be used for double chin removal, and each work in a slightly different manner.
The preparation for double chin removal surgery requires a detailed discussion with the plastic surgeon regarding the following-
After discussing these things, the doctor will examine the patient’s face, neck, and skin texture to figure out the best treatment method. The doctor will also discuss the risks and benefits of the surgery to ensure that the patient makes an informed decision.
Some other instructions may be given to the patient to prepare him/her before the surgery-
On the day of surgery, the patient is asked to get admitted early, and all hospital-related formalities are done. The patient is asked to sign the consent form before proceeding.
As the techniques differ, the steps involved in double chin removal surgery also vary. The steps of each procedure are explained below.
A neck lift is slightly more invasive than a submentoplasty. It involves the neck and chin region, and the size of the incision is comparatively larger than submentoplasty.
Double chin surgery is safe in most cases. But similar to other surgical treatments, there are minor chances of the following risks and complications-
Most of these risks can be successfully mitigated by the surgeon and others by the patient himself/herself by following the post-surgery care guidelines.
Expect to feel slightly dizzy and disoriented after the procedure due to the side effects of anesthesia. There will be redness and bruising around the treated area. The patient will be kept under observation for 2-3 hours and discharged after the doctor team ensures that there are no complications.
Swelling will also appear in the treated region within 24 to 48 hours. During the initial healing phase, the chin and neck area will feel tight and stretched, which is normal. Before discharge, the doctor and/or his/her team will provide detailed instructions that the patient must follow for a smooth and quick recovery.
No, health insurance doesn’t cover the cost of double chin surgery as it is a cosmetic treatment. The patient has to pay for the treatment personally.

The final results of double chin removal surgery can take around 1 to 3 months to appear. Every patient has different healing abilities. Thus, the recovery timeline will also be different. The doctor will give you a tentative recovery timeline according to your body’s healing abilities.
Most patients return to work and resume other activities within one or two weeks. The recovery will be quick after chin liposuction compared to a neck lift. The doctor’s team will provide you with instructions about resuming activities accordingly.
If you have an infection, the following signs in appear-
The results of double chin surgery won’t be visible immediately after the procedure due to swelling and bruising. These side effects of the surgery will take around 2-4 weeks to subside completely. As these effects disappear, the patient will notice changes in the chin region.
The key to the success of the surgery is up to the patient. If the patient strictly follows the doctor’s instructions and recovery tips, the recovery will be quick, and the outcome of the procedure will be as desired.
Follow the recovery tips below to get the best results-
Contact the doctor’s team immediately if you notice any signs of post-surgery complications.
Double chin surgery provides the following benefits to patients-
The latest non-surgical alternative to double chin removal surgery is also available for patients. It is called Deoxycholic Acid or Kybella® injections. This option is suitable for patients who don’t have excessive fat in the chin. It involves using deoxycholic acid (the same acid used by the gallbladder to dissolve dietary fat) and injecting it directly into the target area.
This non-surgical approach requires several sessions to provide effective and visible results. But it can also cause some side effects. Thus, doctors do not recommend this method to all patients.
Double chin surgery cost in India ranges from Rs. 60,000 to Rs. 80,000. It is only an estimated cost range, and the actual cost of the treatment will vary for each patient. The price is variable due to the following factors-
