Chin Liposuction

Submental lipectomy is liposuction of the chin. This procedure can benefit those that are healthy, and of normal weight, but still possess pockets of excess fat in their chin and presenting a disproportionate appearance. Submental lipectomy can remove fat deposits from the chin that are resistant to diet and exercise. Now this is not a weight loss procedure, but a body contouring procedure. By removing fat deposits, it can eliminate a double chin. This results in a more redefined chin or neckline, which can help bring more facial balance and harmony.
