Chin Liposuction (submental)
At COLSURGERIES, we perform chin liposuction using safe and minimally invasive techniques that eliminate localized fat under the chin.
Refine your facial contour and highlight your jawline with subtle and natural results.
What is Chin Liposuction?
Submental liposuction is a procedure procedure that removes fat deposits from under the chin and in the neck area. It is indicated for young patients or those with good skin elasticity who want to refine their face, define their jawline, and improve their profile.
It is a quick, safe procedure with visible results in just a few weeks. It can also be combined with a neck lift or complementary treatments to enhance the final result.
How is it performed?
This procedure lasts between 30 and 60 minutes and is performed with local anesthesia and sedation.
Main steps:
Marking and preparation
The areas to be treated are defined and local anesthesia with light sedation is applied.
Fat Extraction
Through hidden micro-incisions, a fine cannula is inserted to remove the submental fat.
Closure and compression
Tapes or compression bands are placed to reduce inflammation and aid in tissue adaptation.
It is an outpatient surgery with no visible scars, and the recovery is progressive but simple.
Chin Liposuction - Recovery
You can resume light activities within 48–72 hours. It is normal to have swelling and sensitivity during the first few days.
Postoperative recommendations:
• Wear a compression band for 5 to 7 days as directed by your doctor.
• Avoid physical exertion and direct sun exposure.
• Sleep with your head slightly elevated.
• Follow up with your specialist.
Results begin to be noticeable in 2 to 4 weeks and stabilize after 2–3 months.

FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions
From what age is it recommended?
From 18 years of age, as long as there is localized fat under the chin and good skin elasticity. It is ideal for young or middle-aged patients seeking facial definition without major surgical interventions.
Is the procedure painful?
No. Se realiza con anestesia local y sedación, por lo que no sentirás dolor durante la cirugía. Luego del procedimiento puede haber leve molestia o sensación de tensión, que se controla fácilmente con analgésicos.
How long do the results last?
They are long-lasting as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle. The fat that is removed does not regenerate, but if there is significant weight gain, it may accumulate again in the treated area.
Can it be combined with other procedures?
Yes. It is common to combine it with a neck lift, bichectomy, or jawline definition treatments to achieve a more harmonious facial contour.
Will there be visible scars?
No. The incisions are minimal (2 to 3 mm) and are made behind the earlobe or under the chin, in natural creases. Over time, they become practically imperceptible.
What care should I take after the procedure?
Usar una banda compresiva al menos 5 a 7 días, evitar exposición solar, no hacer ejercicio por 10 días y dormir con la cabeza elevada. También es clave asistir a los controles postprocedimiento.
When can I return to work or daily activities?
Generally between 3 and 5 days after the procedure, depending on the swelling and your individual recovery.
How long should I stay in Colombia after the procedure?
Recomendamos una estancia mínima de 8 a 10 días para completar controles luego del procedimiento y asegurar una buena evolución inicial.
What happens if I have a complication upon returning to my country?
You have immediate virtual medical attention. Additionally, we can refer you to trusted specialists in your country or coordinate an assisted return to Colombia if necessary.
When will I see the final results?
The first changes are seen within 2 weeks, but the final result is visible between 2 and 3 months, when the swelling has completely subsided and the skin has adapted to the new contour.
Can I repeat chin liposuction in the future?
It is uncommon, but if localized fat reappears over time or due to weight changes, a second intervention can be evaluated.
¿Las personas con papada por flacidez pueden hacerse este procedimiento?
If there is sagging without fat accumulation, liposuction may not be sufficient. In those cases, it is recommended to evaluate complementary treatments such as a neck lift.
