SUBMENTAL
LIPECTOMY / 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.
