Define Your Profile. Elevate Your Confidence.
A well-defined jawline and smooth neck contour can significantly enhance your overall facial harmony. If you are troubled by a double chin or lack of definition under your chin, submentoplasty offers a targeted solution to refine your profile and restore confidence.
What Is Submentoplasty?
Submentoplasty is a focused surgical procedure designed to improve the area beneath the chin, known as the submental region. This procedure involves:
- Removal of excess fat: Addressing submental fullness or “double chin.”
- Tightening of neck muscles (platysma): Enhancing neck contour and definition.
- Minimal skin excision: For patients with good skin elasticity.
Unlike a full neck lift, submentoplasty is less invasive, focusing solely on the area under the chin, resulting in a more defined neck and jawline with minimal scarring and downtime.
Is Submentoplasty Right For You?
You may be an ideal candidate for submentoplasty if you:
- Have a double chin or fullness under the chin despite a healthy weight.
- Exhibit mild to moderate skin laxity in the neck area.
- Desire a more defined jawline without undergoing a full neck lift.
This procedure is particularly beneficial for younger patients with good skin elasticity seeking to enhance their neck and jawline definition.
