Hidden, tiny incisions
A 2–4 mm incision under the chin, and sometimes behind the earlobes.
A whole-face plan
Can be combined with buccal fat removal or Botox jaw slimming for a V-shaped face.
Same day, local anaesthesia
No overnight stay, and follow-up in person or by WhatsApp photos.
What is double chin removal?
A double chin is a pad of fat under the chin that blurs the line between the jaw and the neck. For many people it stays even after weight loss, because the amount of fat stored there is largely inherited.
Chin and neck liposuction removes that fat permanently. A thin cannula loosens and suctions the fat, and the skin settles onto a sharper jawline. It can help with:
- Fat under the chin that doesn’t go with diet or exercise
- A blurred jawline and a heavy side profile
- Fullness along the jaw (early jowls)
- Neck fat that makes the face look heavier in photos
A warning about “fat dissolver” injections
Products sold online and at some parlours in Pakistan as fat dissolvers are often unregistered, with unclear ingredients. Injected into the neck they can cause painful lumps, infection, skin damage and uneven dents that are hard to fix. If you choose injections, make sure a doctor uses a registered product and shows you the sealed packaging.
Double chin treatment options
Chin and neck liposuction
For fat under the chin with reasonably firm skin. One procedure, permanent fat removal and a clear change in profile.
Liposuction with chin augmentation
For fat combined with a weak or set-back chin. Balances the whole lower face, using an implant or your own fat.
Neck lift
For loose, hanging skin and neck bands, often after 50 or major weight loss. A bigger operation with longer recovery.
Fat-dissolving injections
For small pockets of fat when surgery isn’t wanted. Several sessions and a more modest result.
HIFU or radiofrequency
For very mild fullness or slight laxity. No downtime, but a small, gradual effect.
Who is double chin liposuction suitable for?
Good candidates
- Adults near their ideal weight with a stubborn pad of fat under the chin
- People with reasonably good skin elasticity, usually under about 50
- Men and women who want a sharper jawline for work, photos or a wedding
May need to wait or choose another option
- Loose, hanging neck skin, where a neck lift may be better
- A very small chin, where chin augmentation should be considered too
- Planned significant weight loss — lose the weight first
- Uncontrolled diabetes or blood pressure, blood thinners, pregnancy or breastfeeding
The double chin liposuction procedure
Step 1 — Consultation
Fat, skin quality, chin size and jaw angle are assessed, and front and side photos are taken.
Step 2 — Before surgery
Stop smoking for 2 weeks and avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil and herbal supplements for 7 to 10 days unless advised otherwise.
Step 3 — Local anaesthesia
The area is marked while you sit upright, then numbed with tumescent fluid, which also reduces bleeding.
Step 4 — Liposuction
A fine cannula removes fat evenly along the neck and jawline through a 2–4 mm incision. It takes 30 to 60 minutes.
Step 5 — Chin strap
The incisions are taped and the chin strap fitted. You go home the same day.
Double chin removal recovery timeline
- Days 1–3
Tightness, swelling and some fluid leaking from the incisions. Head raised, chin strap day and night.
- Week 1
Most people return to desk work in 2 to 4 days. Keep the strap on except when bathing.
- Weeks 2–3
Wear the strap at night only. Bruising fades and light exercise can restart.
- Weeks 4–6
Full exercise. Firmness under the skin softens with gentle massage.
- 3 months
Swelling has settled and the final jawline shows.
In summer heat, choose a breathable strap and keep the skin under it dry. For weddings and Eid, plan surgery 6 to 8 weeks ahead.
Side effects and risks
Expected effects are swelling, bruising and numbness for a few weeks. Small lumps or irregularities usually soften with time and massage.
Less common risks include loose skin if elasticity is poor, a temporarily uneven lower lip if the small nerve along the jaw is bruised (this almost always recovers), blood collection, infection, and rarely a visible scar. Contact us for sudden one-sided swelling, increasing pain, fever or difficulty swallowing.
Common concerns about double chin removal
- Will the fat come back?
- Removed fat cells don’t grow back. A stable weight keeps the result.
- Will there be a scar?
- Only a 2–4 mm mark under the chin, which usually fades to near-invisible within a year.
- Is liposuction enough for me?
- That is checked at consultation. If your skin is loose or your chin is small, you’ll be told honestly.
Expected results
- A sharper, more defined jawline
- A cleaner side profile
- A slimmer-looking face in photos
- A permanent result with a stable weight
For fuller cheeks too, see buccal fat removal.

Double chin questions patients ask first
How much does double chin removal cost in Lahore?
Chin and neck liposuction typically costs PKR 60,000 to 120,000 in Lahore in 2026, depending on the amount of fat and what else is combined.
Is double chin liposuction permanent?
The removed fat cells don’t grow back. A large weight gain can still enlarge the remaining fat cells, so keep your weight stable.
How long do I need to wear the chin strap?
Day and night for the first week except when bathing, then at night for another 1 to 2 weeks.
Can I get rid of a double chin without surgery?
Injections and HIFU can help small amounts of fat, but they need several sessions and give a smaller result.
Is it suitable for men?
Yes. Many men in Lahore choose it for a sharper jawline, and a beard helps hide early swelling.
When will I see the final result?
You’ll see an improvement within two weeks, and the final jawline at about three months.
