A subtle procedure – with a noticeable impact on your overall appearance
"I always thought liposuction was a major procedure—but it was totally straightforward."
We often hear this sentence at schön skincare Hamburg. That's because many people are surprised at how minimally invasive and effective targeted liposuction under the chin can be these days.
A small double chin or a blurred jawline-neck transition often bother people more than they think—especially when the rest of the face is clearly defined or when, despite a healthy lifestyle, they are unable to influence this area.
The solution:
Submental liposuction, i.e., the targeted removal of fatty tissue in the submental area. It ensures:
- a visibly more defined jawline
- a clearer facial profile
- a smooth, harmonious transition to the neck
This minor procedure is often enough to visibly improve the entire facial profile —especially in combination with skin quality, neckline, and forehead posture.
Why undergo liposuction under the chin at all?
When it comes to the face, just a few millimeters can make all the difference in terms of harmony, freshness, and proportion. A double chin—whether age-related or genetic—can make the overall appearance seem "heavy," even in people with a slim figure. Many patients report that they:
- the skin loses elasticity without losing volume
- Cheeks, jawline, or neck lose definition
- Conventional fillers appear too soft, too superficial, or too voluminous.
In such cases, submental liposuction at schön skincare Hamburg can be just the right impulse to restore balance to the face—without adding volume or creating artificial effects.
The goal: a clear jawline, smooth neckline, and more profile
Submental liposuction specifically removes local fat deposits that are difficult to influence through diet or exercise. Unlike large-scale liposuction on the body, this procedure focuses on fine modeling.
Treatment goals:
- Reduction of submental fat
- Improvement of jawline definition
- Harmonization of the lateral contour ("jowls")
- fresher, lighter overall impression
Both liposuction and thread lifting can be combined in a single session at schön skincare Hamburg. We will make the decision together after analyzing your individual anatomy and wishes.
When is a thread lift also useful?
If, in addition to fat, there is also excess or sagging skin —for example, in cases of advanced skin aging or after significant weight loss—a complementary thread lift may be advisable.
Special absorbable threads are inserted under the skin, which:
- lift gently
- restructure
- stimulate deep down (collagen regeneration)

Who is submental liposuction suitable for?
The treatment is ideal for you if you...
- have a genetically determined or age-related double chin
- despite exercise and diet, cannot influence the chin profile
- want a more defined jawline and a clearer profile
- No invasive surgery, but visible change desired
- aim for a "photo face" with better side contours want visible change
- want to make a big difference with a small procedure
At schön skincare Hamburg, we also advise on possible combinations with peptide treatments, PRP, or non-invasive skin tightening.
The procedure – how the treatment works
Submental liposuction is performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia —without general anesthesia, without hospitalization, and without significant stress.
Procedure in detail:
Comprehensive advice
Analysis and photo documentation
Disinfection and local anesthesia
in the treatment area
Millimeter-precise access
behind the ear or under the chin
Precise extraction
with micro-fine cannulas
Compression bandage
to support healing
The treatment takes about 45–60 minutes. Afterwards, you can go home accompanied by someone else. Driving is not recommended due to the anesthesia—we recommend that you arrange for someone to pick you up.
After treatment – what you can expect
After the procedure, you will wear an elastic compression bandage for approximately 7 days:
- all night long, as much as possible during the day
- It supports the tissue and promotes an even result.
Pain?
Most patients report a slight feeling of pressure or muscle soreness. Bruising is rare and usually mild.
Downtime?
- Socially acceptable after 3–4 days in most cases
- Sports & physical exertion: possible again after 7–10 days
- Final results: fully visible after approximately 6–8 weeks
"I was more afraid of the bandage than the treatment—in the end, it was totally relaxed."
The effect – what liposuction actually changes
- Permanent removal of fatty tissue – no "yo-yo effect"
- Sharper definition of chin and jawline
- Improvement of the side contour – even with sagging cheeks
- No artificial look—just your natural contours, more clearly defined
The targeted reduction in the lower facial area often makes the entire face appear:
- leaner
- erected
- more expressive
In combination with good skin quality, skincare, or light tightening procedures, the effect can be intensified even further.
How much does submental liposuction cost?
The costs depend on various factors, in particular:
- the extent of fat deposits
- skin texture
- a possible combination with threads or tightening procedures
