Submentoplasty in Seattle | Double Chin Removal

If you’re looking for an effective way to contour your neck and eliminate a double chin, submentoplasty at Allure Esthetic in Seattle might be the perfect option. Submentoplasty, also known as a “chin tuck,” is a specialized procedure designed to target the area under the chin, helping to create a sleeker, more defined jawline.

Under the skilled care of Dr. Javad Sajan and the team at Allure Esthetic, submentoplasty can be a safe and reliable way to achieve long-lasting improvements in neck and jawline appearance.

Submentoplasty is a surgical procedure focusing on the area directly under the chin, addressing aesthetic concerns such as excess fat, muscle laxity, and skin sagging. It’s related to other procedures like cervicoplasty (which involves removing excess skin in the neck area) and a direct neck lift (which removes unwanted fat and tightens muscles under the chin). Together, these techniques help to enhance neck contour and reduce the appearance of a double chin.

The procedure works by making a small incision under the chin to access the underlying muscles and connective tissue. Depending on the patient’s needs, Dr. Sajan may remove excess fat, tighten muscles, and reshape the area for a smoother, more youthful appearance. This procedure is less invasive than a full neck lift, making it an excellent option for patients seeking a more streamlined approach to neck and jawline rejuvenation.

Submentoplasty is effective in addressing several common concerns around the neck and chin, including:

• Double Chin: By removing excess fat, submentoplasty reduces the appearance of a double chin.
• Sagging Skin: The procedure tightens the skin and muscles under the chin, creating a firmer, smoother look.
• Weak Jawline: Submentoplasty can improve the definition of the jawline, enhancing the overall facial profile.

For people looking to refine their neck area without undergoing extensive surgery, submentoplasty offers a tailored solution to meet aesthetic goals.

Submentoplasty can provide a range of benefits that make it an appealing option for anyone looking to improve the appearance of their neck and jawline. Benefits may include:

• Enhanced neck contour
• Defined jawline
• Reduction in double chin
• Tightened skin under the chin
• Improved facial profile
• Smoother neck appearance
• Youthful neck and chin definition
• Long-lasting results
• Minimal scarring
• Boost in self-confidence

Several factors contribute to a sagging or less-defined jawline:

• Weight Gain: Additional weight can cause excess fat under the chin, creating a double chin appearance.
• Weight Loss: Significant weight loss may leave loose skin around the neck and chin, contributing to sagging.
• Genetics: Some people are naturally predisposed to a less-defined jawline or extra fat under the chin.
• Age: As we age, skin loses elasticity, and muscles weaken, leading to a sagging appearance.

Understanding these causes helps guide each patient to the best solution and decide whether to have a submentoplasty alone or combined with additional treatments.

Ideal candidates for submentoplasty are individuals concerned about the appearance of their neck and chin, such as sagging skin or a double chin. Candidates should have good overall health and realistic expectations about the results.

During a consultation, Dr. Sajan and the team at Allure Esthetic will evaluate each patient’s anatomy and goals to determine if submentoplasty is the best option for them.

Submentoplasty typically takes about one to two hours to complete. The duration depends on each patient’s unique needs and whether additional procedures are being performed.

Like any surgical procedure, submentoplasty carries some risks, including infection, swelling, or temporary numbness. Choosing a qualified, experienced provider like Dr. Sajan can minimize these risks.

Safety measures at Allure Esthetic are designed to ensure a smooth and comfortable experience. The team monitors every aspect of care, from consultation to recovery.

After submentoplasty, patients can expect a relatively smooth recovery process. Here’s what to anticipate:

• Post-Procedure Expectations: Swelling and bruising are common but typically subside within a few weeks. Following Dr. Sajan’s care instructions is essential for optimal healing.
• Activity Restrictions: Patients should avoid strenuous activities and keep their heads elevated to reduce swelling. Most people can return to work and light activities within a week.

Results from submentoplasty become visible once swelling and bruising diminish, typically within a few weeks. Final results can be seen within three to six months as the area under the chin fully heals.

The cost of submentoplasty varies depending on each case's specifics, including the extent of the procedure. During a consultation at Allure Esthetic, you’ll receive a clear breakdown of costs to help you make an informed decision.

How is submentoplasty different from a neck lift or facelift?

Submentoplasty specifically targets the area under the chin, while a neck lift addresses the entire neck area, and a facelift includes the lower face and jawline. Submentoplasty is less invasive and ideal for chin and neck contouring patients.

Are the results of submentoplasty permanent?

While submentoplasty offers long-lasting results, natural aging, and lifestyle factors may lead to gradual changes.

Is submentoplasty painful?

Most patients experience mild discomfort, which can be easily managed with prescribed pain medication. The team at Allure Esthetic prioritizes patient comfort from start to finish.

Will there be visible scars?

The incision is placed under the chin, making any resulting scar discreet and typically minimal with proper care.

Can submentoplasty be combined with other procedures?

Yes, for enhanced results, submentoplasty can be combined with procedures like liposuction, facelifts, or other facial contouring treatments.

Is there a non-surgical alternative to submentoplasty?

Non-surgical options, such as Kybella or CoolSculpting, may reduce fat under the chin but not provide muscle tightening and skin contouring for submentoplasty.
