Chin liposuction, also known as submental liposuction, is a cosmetic procedure that targets and removes excess fat beneath the chin to create a more sculpted jawline and refined profile. Ideal for patients with a double chin or stubborn fat under the chin that doesn't respond to diet or exercise, this procedure can enhance facial symmetry and improve the overall contour of the lower face.
Proper preparation is essential for a successful procedure and a smooth recovery. Here’s how to prepare for your chin liposuction:
Smoking significantly impairs the body’s ability to heal and increases the risk of complications. To optimize your recovery and reduce the risk of infection, we strongly recommend quitting smoking at least 4-6 weeks before your surgery, and refraining from smoking during your recovery period.
For your safety, all contraceptive pills must be stopped at least one month prior to surgery. This is necessary to reduce the risk of blood clots and to support optimal circulation during your procedure.
Alcohol can interfere with anesthesia, increase swelling, and slow down the healing process. To ensure a smoother surgery and recovery, please limit alcohol intake at least 1-2 weeks before your procedure and refrain from drinking during your recovery period.
Blood-thinning medications, certain supplements, and herbal teas can increase the risk of bleeding during surgery. Please stop taking these at least 1-2 weeks before your procedure. Always consult with your surgeon about any medications or supplements you're currently taking to ensure a safe and effective surgery.
Payments for your procedure should be made in cash. Bank transfers should be done 7 days prior to arrival and if you prefer to pay by credit card, a processing fee will be added to the total amount, and the payment must be processed before your arrival in the country.
If you're traveling from abroad, ensure that you have the appropriate visa for entry into Turkey. If your country requires a visa, feel free to reach out to our team for assistance—we're happy to help with the process.
A well-balanced, nutritious diet is key to supporting your body’s healing process. Eat nutrient-rich foods in the weeks leading up to your surgery to help strengthen your immune system and prepare your body for the procedure.
It’s important to prepare a comfortable, quiet space for recovery at home. Take time off from work and avoid any strenuous activities to ensure your body can focus on healing. Having a cozy space to rest will help support a quicker and more comfortable recovery.
Smoking can slow healing and increase the risk of complications. It’s advised to stop smoking at least 4-6 weeks before surgery and during recovery.
Some medications, especially blood thinners, should be stopped before surgery. Discuss all medications and supplements with your dentist.
Alcohol can interfere with anesthesia and recovery. Avoid drinking for at least 1-2 weeks before the procedure.
Payments for your procedure should be made in cash. If you prefer to pay via credit card, a processing fee will be applied to the final payment.

Your chin liposuction procedure will be carefully planned for comfort and efficiency. Here’s what to expect:
Upon arrival, you’ll check in, and our team will guide you to the pre-operative area where you’ll change into a surgical gown. Your vital signs will be monitored before the procedure.
A routine blood test will be conducted to ensure you're in optimal health for surgery. This helps assess key factors like blood clotting and general health, which are essential for a safe surgery.
Local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia will be administered to ensure comfort throughout the procedure.
Small incisions are made under the chin or along the jawline. A cannula is used to remove excess fat, sculpting the chin and jawline for a more defined appearance. The surgery typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the amount of fat removed.
Upon arrival, you'll check in and be escorted to a pre-operative area. You’ll change into a gown, and your vital signs will be monitored.
You’ll meet with your dentist to confirm the details of your procedure. This is the time to ask any final questions about your aesthetic goals, the procedure, and the recovery process. Your dentist will also mark the areas to be treated.
For most procedures, local anesthesia will be used to numb the treatment area. If needed, light sedation may also be provided to ensure your comfort.
Depending on the procedure (Smile Makeover, crowns, veneers, or implants), your dentist will take the necessary steps to prepare your teeth. This may involve removing damaged or decayed portions of the teeth, placing temporary crowns or veneers, or placing dental implants.
After the procedure, you’ll be moved to a recovery area, where you’ll be monitored as the anesthesia wears off. Comfort and safety are prioritized during this phase.
After the procedure, you’ll be moved to a recovery area where your progress will be monitored as the anesthesia wears off.
We are committed to ensuring your recovery is as smooth as possible. Here’s what to expect after your chin liposuction procedure:
Chin liposuction is an outpatient procedure, so most patients go home the same day. A compression garment may be recommended to reduce swelling and support the healing process.
Once you're stable, you’ll be discharged and escorted to your hotel to rest. Avoid strenuous activities and follow your surgeon’s aftercare instructions.
You’ll have a follow-up appointment with your surgeon to check your healing progress and ensure the area is healing symmetrically.
Most patients can return to light activities within 1-2 weeks, but avoid strenuous activities like exercise or lifting for at least 4-6 weeks.
Scarring from chin liposuction is minimal and typically well-hidden beneath the chin. Over time, scars will fade, and proper aftercare will help ensure the best results.
Throughout your recovery, our team will be there to support you. Should you have any concerns or questions, we are always available to ensure your healing goes smoothly, and you feel confident in your results.

Ideal candidates have localized fat under the chin, often caused by genetics or aging. You should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations for the procedure's results.

Yes, the fat removed during chin liposuction is permanent. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is important to preserve your results long-term.
The procedure is performed under anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during surgery. Afterward, mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising are common, but these symptoms are manageable with pain medication.
While the initial swelling will subside within a few weeks, the final results may take 3-6 months to fully settle as the area continues to heal and contour.
