Chin Liposuction Charleston

Considering Chin Liposuction in Charleston? Excess fat beneath the chin is most often caused by genetics, weight gain, or aging. And while occasionally, having a healthy diet and doing exercise can improve this isolated area, more often than not, stubborn chin fat is resistant to even extreme lifestyle changes.

Fortunately, individuals who struggle with this issue can turn La Femme Plastic Surgery in Charleston for this cosmetic procedure.

What Is Chin Liposuction?

Neck liposuction — also called submental liposuction or “chin lipo” — is a form cosmetic surgery designed to eliminate stubborn fat from the chin and neck area.

After numbing the area, your plastic surgeon will make several small and discreet incisions along the jaw, just large enough to insert a thin metal cannula. They will then strategically remove excess fat cells, shaping the neck and jawline for a slimmer, more refined contour.

Benefits Of Chin And Neck Liposuction

Chin and neck liposuction offers a range of benefits, including improved jawline definition, an enhanced facial profile, and a more youthful look. It can effectively get rid of a “double chin” while maintaining a natural, harmonious appearance.

Unlike a full facelift or neck lift, chin lipo is a less invasive option. The recovery period is quick, there is minimal discomfort, and most patients have a low risk of complications. Finally, your results should be long-lasting, provided you maintain a healthy lifestyle and body weight.

Candidate For Neck Liposuction

If you find yourself troubled by how much fat there is in your neck and jawline area, you could be a good candidate for submental liposuction. An ideal candidate for chin lipo should be in overall good health with no major medical conditions. Some patients may need to undergo additional medical tests to ensure they qualify for the procedure.

Patients must also possess good skin elasticity in order to undergo this procedure. Poor skin laxity may mean your skin is incapable of retracting to the newly contoured neckline post-liposuction, and this can hinder your results.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t say enough about the level of kindness and professionalism, and concierge treatment I received at La Femme. Every single interaction was wonderful. Everyone in the office is top notch. Dr. Mason is a shooting star and fast on her way to surgeon stardom (and maybe as a podcaster as well).  She is an artist and a perfectionist and is also honest, clear, straightforward, and no nonsense. Incredible bedside manner. By my third visit I felt like we were good friends. ☺️ Best of the best. Follow the office on IG!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Update:
Dr. Mason did fix the problem I had from my surgery and they look much better.  I still have so much pain in the scars on the left side which is disheartening, but overall I am now happier with the results.

I had a breast reduction with Dr. Mason.  While the sides where she did lipo did look reduced, my actual breasts never looked that much smaller.  I did end up losing 25 pounds which helped later.  My disappointment is with my nipples.  They look so bad that I am embarrassed to be seen naked now.  One is completely puckered/indented on one side.  I had discussed fixing it with them and I reached out to them to try to schedule through their portal and they never responded to me.  I will probably try to find another doctor at this point to fix it.  The doctor did seem to be a nice, kind person when she did my surgery and she did find a breast doctor to remove the benign tumor I had before she did the reduction (at the same time).

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m so grateful for Dr. Mason and her team. They made me feel safe, well informed, and genuinely comfortable from start to finish. Everyone is incredibly kind, welcoming, and accommodating, and they were able to coordinate my consultation and procedure in the same visit, which made everything so much easier. I traveled from out of state to see Dr. Mason because of her reputation, and she truly lived up to it. I couldn’t have had a better experience. I highly recommend Dr. Mason and her team to anyone considering a procedure!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve researched getting a tummy tuck for years, And have had so many consultations, As soon as I went into this office and did my consultation, I knew this was the right doctor for me. The environment is warm and inviting, the entire staff is welcoming and helpful  and Dr. Mason was kind, professional, and caring from day one. Unlike other offices, she listened to my concerns and was open and realistic about expectations for my results and never tried to sell me on anything or pressure me into booking. The pricing was direct and upfront, there were no surprises or “add ons” I received everything I was promised and am so happy I found La Femme. I would recommend them to any friends/ family and couldn’t be happier with my results so far.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am only about three weeks out from surgery so I haven’t realized my full results yet however I cannot say enough, good things about this facility. Every single person who works there is helpful,  compassionate and communicative. Dr. Mason’s bedside manner is exceptional. She and her staff walked me through every aspect of the process ensuring I had realistic expectations. Dr. Mason was also very careful to ask probing questions and listen to my response to ensure she was giving me exactly what I wanted Not what she thought I should have. I had no complications thus far and very little pain. From Madison to Genesis and Kara, and the rest of the team I was very well taken care of.
I opted to stay over in the surgical facility for peace of mind and I’m glad I did. Tiara looked after me very well and she had a fantastic disposition. She kept a very close eye all night and helped me walk often to ensure I began healing from the get go. Because I’ve not seen my full results yet, I can say that my absolute favorite part is the lymphatic massages with Arlene. She is wonderful, and I love that these were included in the healing process. I only wish I could continue them with her forever!
I am so glad I chose them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Mason and her team are wonderful to work with. I had my consultation for a breast reduction on 12/11/25, and I was approved by insurance within six days. Dr. Mason and her staff were extremely patient and answered all of my questions, whether in person or over the phone.

My procedure was on 3/2/26, and the recovery process has been great so far. I’ve even received follow-up calls from Dr. Mason and her team after surgery, which I really appreciated. On the day of surgery, Dr. Mason and her team walked my mom and me through everything before the procedure started, which made me feel very comfortable and prepared.

I’m so happy with the results.

The final payment is due at the time of your pre-op appointment. My only issue was that it took the staff a little while to give me an accurate final amount. Also, you may have to pay a deductible for the anesthesiologist, and I didn’t find out how much that would be until the day of surgery.

Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely recommend Dr. Mason and her team.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Mason and her entire staff. From my very first consultation to my surgery day and recovery, they were absolutely amazing — kind, professional, and so supportive every step of the way.

I had been nervous for months about getting my breast reduction, but Dr. Mason made me feel completely comfortable and confident. She took the time to explain everything, answered all my questions, and truly cared about me as a person, not just a patient.

Her staff went above and beyond — checking on me, keeping me calm before surgery, and making sure I felt safe and cared for afterward. The whole team radiates compassion and skill.

I can honestly say this has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I finally feel lighter, more confident, and free of the neck and shoulder pain I’d lived with for years.

Thank you, Dr. Mason & Team!!! 💕💕💕💕

Neck Liposuction Procedure

Once the patient is comfortable with the proper anesthetics and sedation, a solution will be injected into the target area to bulk up the fat cells and constrict the blood vessels. This makes it easier and less damaging to remove unwanted fat cells.

Next, your surgeon will make several small incisions. One incision is typically made directly beneath the chin, and sometimes, an incision will be made behind each earlobe.

A thin metal tube called a cannula will then be inserted into the incisions to suction out unwanted fat. Plastic surgeons with experience performing chin lipo and neck lift procedures know exactly how to remove fat so that it sculpts the chin and jawline. Finally, all incisions will be carefully closed.

Chin liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure done as an outpatient procedure that can help contour and redefine the jawline, providing a more youthful and sculpted appearance with minimal downtime.

Double Chin Liposuction Recovery

During the recovery period, neck liposuction bruising and swelling is to be expected. You may experience some pain and discomfort during this time, but most can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.

Be sure to get plenty of rest and sleep, which will help you heal faster. Prioritize healthy meals, though remember you may be somewhat limited to soft and liquid foods for a few days. Follow all instructions provided by your surgeon. You’ll need to stay out of the sun, avoid strenuous activity, and sleep and bathe according to their guidelines.

Most patients will be required to wear a compression garment around their chin after surgery. This helps retain the new shape of your chin and neck and can also help with bruising, swelling, and fluid retention.

Submental Liposuction Risks

All plastic surgeries come with risks, but it’s rare to experience complications with submental liposuction. The key is to choose an experienced board certified plastic surgeon.

With that said, it’s still important to be aware of the risks, which may include excess bleeding or bruising, infection, fluid accumulation, noticeable scarring, and uneven results.

Chin Liposuction Cost In Charleston

It’s difficult to provide an accurate quote for the cost of chin liposuction unless you meet directly with your surgeon. Factors like your particular surgeon’s fee, the geographic location of their practice, what anesthesiologist or surgical facility you use, and the scope of your surgery will all play a role in the cost.

We understand that cost is a major consideration when thinking about chin and neck lipo. The best place to get answers is directly with your surgeon, so be sure to schedule a consultation to get the most accurate pricing information.

Chin Liposuction FAQ

How Painful Is Neck Liposuction?

At least some pain and discomfort is to be expected after any facial plastic surgery, including neck liposuction procedure. When it comes to pain from chin liposuction after 1 week, most patients feel fine. Only over-the-counter pain medication is typically required over the first few days.

Will I Have A Chin Lipo Scar?

Neck liposuction does require one or more small incisions, which will scar as they heal. But these are so small that they’re barely noticeable after six months to a year.

Is Chin Lipo The Same As A Neck Lift?

No, chin lipo is a form of facial liposuction and is not the same as a neck lift. Chin lipo addresses excess fatty tissue only and not loose skin. Neck lift surgery primarily helps with loose neck skin and tightens the neck muscles.

How Do I Find Chin Liposuction Near Me?

If you are seeking chin and neck contouring in the Charleston area, female board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rachel Mason provides this and other popular cosmetic procedures at her practice.

Does Chin Lipo Leave Saggy Skin?

Chin liposuction rarely causes sagging skin when performed on suitable candidates with good elasticity. The thin tube removes fat cells precisely, and younger patients typically see excellent skin retraction. Note that this isn’t a weight loss procedure – it’s targeted fat reduction.

Is Fat Removal Under Chin Worth It?

If excess fat along your jaw and neck contour has bothered you persistently, double chin surgery with liposuction can certainly be a worthwhile option.

How Can You Fix Chin Lipo Gone Wrong?

In rare cases, reconstructive surgery is required to correct the facial features after a botched chin lipo experience. This typically only occurs when a patient went with a non-board certified or inexperienced plastic surgeon.

If this happens, a skilled and experienced board certified plastic surgeon can typically correct the problem.

How Long Do Chin Lipo Results Last?

For most healthy patients, neck liposuction results should be long-lasting. If desired, touch-up procedures can also be performed after several years.

Either way, it’s also important for patients to maintain a healthy stable weight as drastic fluctuations in weight may alter your results.

What Is the Best Age for Chin Liposuction?

The ideal age for chin liposuction is typically between 20-50 years old, when skin elasticity remains optimal. During your initial consultation, we’ll assess your skin quality and develop a personalized treatment plan. This body contouring procedure works best with good skin elasticity.
