Submental Lipectomy in Orem, Utah

Submental lipectomy addresses fullness beneath the chin and along the upper neck. The submental area is the space under the chin, where localized fat can soften the jawline, create a double-chin appearance, or make the neck look less defined.

Unlike chin liposuction, which removes fat with suction through a small cannula, submental lipectomy surgically excises fat and tissue beneath the chin. Dr. Jones can explain which approach is more appropriate during consultation based on your anatomy, skin quality, and goals.

When Submental Lipectomy May Be Considered

Submental lipectomy may be discussed when a patient wants more definition under the chin and direct removal of fat or tissue is a better fit than liposuction alone.

It may also be considered with related facial procedures such as neck lift , face lift , or chin liposuction , depending on whether the main concern is fat, loose skin, muscle laxity, or a combination of concerns.

What to Expect

Submental lipectomy is typically planned around a private consultation. Dr. Jones reviews your goals, examines the chin and neck area, and explains whether surgical excision, liposuction, or a combined plan is the better option.

Recovery depends on the exact plan. Most patients should expect some swelling, bruising, and activity limits while the area heals.

What to Look for in a Submental Lipectomy Surgeon

Choosing a submental lipectomy surgeon is about more than a single before-and-after photo. Look for training, safety standards, experience, and a process that gives you clear guidance before, during, and after surgery.
