Submental Liposuction & FaceTite (Neck and Chin Liposuction)
Submental liposuction and FaceTite are both cosmetic procedures aimed at reducing fat and tightening skin in the neck and chin area, often referred to as neck and chin liposuction.
Submental Liposuction
Submental Liposuction targets excess fat deposits under the chin (submental area) and neck. A small incision is made either under the chin or behind the ears and a thin tube (cannula) is inserted to suction out excess fat. This treatment is ideal for individuals with localised fat deposits under the chin, despite having good skin elasticity. It improves neck contour by reducing fat volume, enhancing jawline definition. But it may not address skin laxity effectively, especially in older patients. Temporary swelling and bruising are common post-surgery. Results are typically visible once swelling subsides with final results noticeable after a few months.
Effective for refining jawline and reducing double chin
Minimal scarring due to small incisions
Generally quick recovery
FaceTite
FaceTite uses radiofrequency energy to melt fat and tighten skin simultaneously. A small probe is inserted under the skin, emitting radiofrequency waves to heat and contract tissues. This is suitable for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity and excess fat in the lower face and neck, and provides significant skin tightening along with fat reduction, improving overall facial contours.
FaceTite may require multiple sessions for optimal results. Mild discomfort and swelling post-procedure are common. Results continue to improve over several months as collagen production increases.
Minimally invasive with minimal scarring.
Stimulates collagen production, enhancing skin firmness.
Results in a more defined jawline and improved neck contour.
When used together, Submental Liposuction + FaceTite can provide a comprehensive improvement in neck and chin contours. Surgeons often customise the approach based on individual anatomy and aesthetic goals. Combining both procedures addresses both excess fat and skin laxity, resulting in a more sculpted and youthful appearance.
