Sculpting Confidence in Atlanta: Submental Liposuction With or Without Radiofrequency

The Importance of Jawline Definition

A sharp jawline and smooth neckline signal youth and vitality. Unfortunately, stubborn fat beneath the chin—often called a “double chin”—rarely responds to diet or exercise. Genetics, age, and body composition often keep it in place.

For patients across Atlanta, Dunwoody, Sandy Springs, Brookhaven, Buckhead, and Alpharetta, submental liposuction (chin liposuction) is a proven way to refine the lower face and neck. When combined with radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening, the results can be even more dramatic, particularly for those with mild to moderate skin laxity.

What Is Submental Liposuction?

Submental (chin/neck) liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that removes fat from under the chin and along the jawline.

How chin liposuction works:

  • Tiny incisions are placed discreetly beneath the chin or behind the ears
  • A cannula (thin tube) suctions away excess fat
  • The procedure is often performed under local anesthesia with sedation, though general anesthesia may be used for comfort

Benefits of chin liposuction:

  • A slimmer, contoured neckline
  • Sharper jawline definition
  • Improved facial harmony and profile

For patients in the Atlanta metro area, this procedure offers a faster recovery than more invasive surgeries like a full neck lift

Why Add Radiofrequency Skin Tightening?

Liposuction removes fat but doesn’t tighten skin. That’s where radiofrequency-assisted liposuction (RFAL) comes in.

Benefits of combining RF with chin liposuction:

  • Stimulates collagen for tighter, smoother skin
  • Enhances jawline definition
  • Reduces risk of sagging after fat removal
  • Ideal for patients with mild to moderate laxity who want to avoid a neck lift

Patients in their 30s–50s in Dunwoody, Sandy Springs, and Buckhead often choose this approach for natural-looking definition with minimal downtime.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may be an ideal candidate for submental liposuction in Atlanta if you have:

  • A double chin or fullness under the jawline resistant to weight loss
  • Good overall health and a stable weight
  • Reasonable skin elasticity, or willingness to add RF tightening
  • Realistic expectations about recovery and outcomes

Patients with significant skin laxity or excess tissue may benefit more from a neck lift in Atlanta rather than liposuction alone.

Risks, Safety, and Recovery

All procedures carry risks, though most are temporary or avoidable when performed by a board-certified surgeon.

  • Swelling & bruising: Common, resolving in 2–3 weeks
  • Numbness/tingling: Usually temporary
  • Contour irregularities: Reduced by surgeon expertise
  • Loose skin: More likely without RF
  • Infection or bleeding: Rare with sterile technique

Recovery Timeline:

  • Days 1–3: Swelling, bruising, compression garment
  • Week 1–2: Resume most daily activities
  • Months 1–3: Jawline definition sharpens as swelling subsides
