Submental liposculpture may be performed in a clinic or hospital setting, either as a standalone procedure or in combination with other facial surgeries, depending on individual circumstances. Following appropriate assessment and consent, local anaesthetic with adrenaline is used to assist with comfort and to minimise bleeding and bruising.

A small incision is typically made beneath the chin to allow access to the submental fat. In some cases, additional access points near the ears may be required. Fat is carefully removed to improve contour while preserving surrounding structures.

The procedure usually takes around one hour. Temporary swelling and bruising are common and generally resolve over several days.

Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
