Your neck is one of the first areas that usually begins to show signs of aging. The relatively thin skin of your neck begins to sag faster than other areas of your body. And some people tend to accumulate pockets of fat that are stubborn, if not impossible, to get rid of. 

If you want to transform your neck or jawline into a sleeker and more contoured profile- you need to know about submental liposuction. Renu by Dr. Schoenfeld is one of the leading providers of submental or neck liposuction in Washington, D.C. 

Submental Liposuction Overview

In medical terms, the fat beneath your chin is called submental fat. Submental liposuction is a surgical procedure that permanently removes excess fat from this area. This creates a more defined appearance of your jawline, neck, chin, and profile.

• Submental lipo is a type of liposuction. Suction is used to pull fat cells out of the body permanently. Since submental and neck liposuction is done on the delicate chin and neck area, smaller suction tubes, called cannulas, are used, and a high degree of precision is required. 
• Submental lipo is a surgical procedure that takes about an hour from start to finish. You are typically able to remain awake, and a local anesthetic is used to numb the surgical area so you experience minimal to no pain. 

Dr. Schoenfeld is a leading facial plastic surgeon in the Washington, D.C., region with the skill and experience needed to create a slim, contoured, and all-around amazing neck area. Next, let’s talk about how to know if this procedure is right for you. 

Am I A Good Candidate?

If you want to change the appearance of your neck, chin, or jawline, submental lipo can be a great choice that leads to great results. Here’s what makes you a suitable candidate for this procedure.

• You have a double chin or excess fat in the neck area
• You feel your neck is heavy, puffy, or bulky 
•  The skin under your neck is relatively elastic and can still spring back into place when stretched. We will assess this in your consultation to be sure 

Liposuction is likely not the best choice if your neck area is wrinkled, not elastic, or loose. If you fit this description, a neck lift may be a better fit for you. Renu by Dr. Schoenfeld specializes in this procedure as well. 

How Much Does Submental Liposuction Cost?

Here are a few factors to consider that can impact the total cost of your procedure. You are able to combine this procedure with other cosmetic procedures.  

• Submental and neck liposuction prices range from $2,000- $10,000. 
• The average cost of submental liposuction in Washington, D.C., falls within the above range. The cost of cosmetic procedures can vary as the cost of living varies throughout the country.  
• At Renu by Dr. Schoenfeld, we believe cosmetic procedures should be accessible to all. We offer financing options that enable patients to cover the costs of their procedure over time. 
• Submental lipo is an elective cosmetic procedure that insurance does not cover. Payment will be out of pocket. 
• Your total cost will include facility fees at Renu’s state-of-the-art location and anesthesia feeds that may vary depending on your situation. 

• Submental lipo can often be performed under local anesthesia, but general anesthesia may be a better option if combined with other procedures. The type of anesthesia required can impact the total cost of your neck liposuction or submental lipo. 

At Renu by Dr. Schoenfeld, we give each patient individualized care to ensure maximum results. Since the individual needs of the patient may vary, more detailed pricing information will be provided during your consultation.

What to Expect During a Consultation for Submental Liposuction 

Your submental lipo consultation at Renu by Dr. Schoenfeld includes a thorough and individualized examination to ensure you are an excellent fit for this procedure. Here’s what your consultation will cover. 

• Recovery. Most patients can return to work within one week or less from submental lipo. Swelling and mild discomfort are expected after this procedure, and we will discuss your post-procedure instructions and care. 

After neck lipo, you will need to wear a neck wrap or chin strap for approximately two weeks. This helps ease post-op swelling and also helps achieve your new neck contour. 

• Risks. Like most procedures, submental lipo comes with risks and several benefits. However, it is considered to be a safe procedure overall. To minimize risks, be sure to follow the instructions provided to you by your surgeon.   
• Schedule. The procedure can take anywhere from 1 to 2 hours to complete. After you have completed a consultation and you’re ready to take the next step, call us and we can schedule an appointment for your procedure.   
• Results. Swelling will subside within the first few weeks after your procedure, and it can take several months to see the full results and benefits of your neck liposuction. 

During your consultation, you will have ample time to ask any questions that you may have. At Renu by Dr. Schoenfeld, we want to ensure that you are fully informed and prepared for your submental liposuction. You will leave your consultation knowing that you have made the best choice of facility, procedure, and surgeon to help you accomplish your goals.
