Liposuction of the fat under the chin (Neck Liposuction, Submental Liposuction) can be quite effective for treating a “double chin”. The cost of this surgery usually varies from $2000 to $3000 depending on the amount of time needed and the type of anesthesia used.
In my San Francisco Bay Area practice, I have found that the majority of patients tolerate this procedure very well under local anesthesia, with or without mild sedation. Other procedures performed simultaneously for appropriate candidates include chin implant placement and platysmal plication, the tightening of the bands in the neck.
Patients who respond best to liposuction of the neck are those who retain a bit of fat under the chin despite being at their ideal weight. (Umang Mehta, MD, Bay Area Facial Plastic Surgeon)

Double chin costs
There are several options for contouring the double chin area. Non surgical options include:
- Kybella to dissolve the fatty tissue in the submental area
- Cool-mini treatment from Coolsculpting to target the same area
- Adding a skin tightening device such as Ulthera or Profound to the neck tissue in conjunction with the one of the above to further tighten the skin.
The more you combine or repeat these options, the better the result, however, the cost will go up. (Young R. Cho, MD, PhD, Houston Plastic Surgeon)
