Submental Liposuction
Submental liposuction removes excess fat beneath the chin to reveal a sharper jawline and a younger profile while honoring the natural anatomy.
What is submental liposuction?
Thin cannulas remove stubborn fat from the submental area so the lower third of the face regains definition without over-thinning.
Why does a double chin develop?
- Genetic predisposition
- Fat accumulation with aging
- Decreased skin elasticity
- Weakening jawline support
- Weight fluctuations
These factors contribute to volume increase beneath the chin and loss of crisp contour.
Who is a candidate?
- Patients with visible fat under the chin
- Those with adequate skin elasticity
- Patients wanting a sharper jawline
- Individuals without advanced neck laxity
- Patients healthy enough for surgery
Advanced laxity may require combining liposuction with neck lift or skin-tightening treatments.
How is it performed?
- Detailed analysis of the jawline and neck
- Hidden small incision under the chin
- Fat is aspirated through fine cannulas
- Contours are sculpted with seamless transitions
- Incision closed with aesthetic sutures
- Procedure takes about 30–60 minutes
Recovery
- First days: mild swelling and bruising
- Week 1: return to daily activities
- Week 1–2: most swelling subsides
- Weeks 3–6: jawline becomes more defined
- 1–3 months: final contour emerges
A special bandage or corset may be worn during the first week.
Do scars remain?
Incisions are tiny and hidden; they fade over time and remain hard to notice.
Is it painful?
Discomfort is usually mild; patients mention tension or fullness more than pain, and simple analgesics manage it well.
Are the results lasting?
Removed fat cells stay gone; pair the surgery with a healthy lifestyle and weight control to preserve the outcome for years.

Pricing
Pricing starts at 1.750€, depending on the details of the procedure.
The final fee may vary depending on several factors. For example, the patient's overall health condition, where the procedure will be performed, and the scope of the procedure are all considered before the final price is determined.
Dr. Melekber’s approach

The goal is to add refined definition to the lower face without hardening the expression.
