SUBMENTAL 
LIPOSUCTION
IN NEW YORK CITY

New Look New Life is committed to delivering safe and natural-looking facial rejuvenation. Dr. Kim is an expert in submental contouring, using advanced techniques to remove stubborn fat and create a sharp, defined jawline. From your first consultation through your recovery, you will receive personalized care and direct access to your surgeon.

The best candidates are individuals with "submental fullness" (a double chin) who have good skin elasticity. This procedure is ideal for those who are at a stable weight but have local fat deposits under the chin that are resistant to diet and exercise. Candidates should be non-smokers and in good overall health.

Chin liposuction (submental liposuction) provides immediate and dramatic improvements, including:

• Removal of the "double chin" effect.

• A significantly more defined jawline and neck profile.

• A slimmer, more youthful facial appearance.

• Permanent removal of fat cells in the treated area.

While Liposuction is the gold standard for permanently removing stubborn pockets of fat, it is not designed to tighten the overlying skin. If you have mild to moderate skin laxity, removing fat can sometimes leave the treated area looking slightly loose or deflated. By pairing your liposuction with a Renuvion® treatment, Dr. Claudia Kim can actively shrink and tighten the skin from the inside out using advanced radiofrequency and helium plasma energy. This dynamic combination ensures your newly sculpted contours look incredibly smooth, firm, and natural.

Dr. Kim uses a "micro-cannula" technique, which requires only one or two tiny incisions (about 1–2mm) hidden in the natural crease under the chin or behind the earlobes. These incisions are so small they typically do not require stitches and heal with virtually no visible scarring.

For many patients, combining procedures leads to the best results. Common pairings include neck lift surgery if there is also loose skin, or chin augmentation with an implant to further project and define a recessed jawline.

Recovery is relatively quick. You will wear a supportive chin strap (compression garment) for the first few days to minimize swelling and help the skin conform to the new contour. Most patients return to work within 3 to 5 days. Dr. Kim provides his direct contact information to all patients so he can be reached at any time during your recovery.

The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation, so you will feel no pain during the treatment. Afterward, you may experience some minor soreness or "tightness" in the neck, which is easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

Because the incisions are extremely small and placed in the natural shadows of the chin and ears, scarring is rarely an issue. Any marks typically fade away completely within a few months.

At New Look New Life, chin liposuction is an affordable way to transform your profile. A specific quote will be provided during your consultation. We also offer financing options through CareCredit® and Cherry to help make your treatment even more accessible.

You will notice an immediate improvement in your profile right after the procedure. Results continue to improve over the following weeks as swelling completely subsides, with final results visible around 3 months.
