Neck liposuction and chin liposuction aim to remove the fat that causes a double chin or diminished chin. It also decreases the appearance of “chipmunk cheeks” and jowls.

When reducing a double chin, a doctor makes an incision either on the chin or inside the mouth to remove fat.

Incisions are made on either side of the chin when removing jowl fat.

Neck liposuction removes fat from a broader area, and can create an overall appearance of weight loss. Because loose skin is a common problem in this area, laser resurfacing is usually required after surgery to tighten skin.

These procedures take about 45 minutes, and patients typically can expect to resume normal activities within three weeks. Results often are apparent soon after surgery.

Chin and Neck/Jowls liposuction cost ranges from between $1,500 and $5,000. These fees are averages only and do not include anesthesia, operating room services or other expenses related to the liposuction procedure. Click here to see a complete list of liposuction costs.
