Liposuction of the chin in Dortmund: examination and procedure at the Westfalenklinik

A double chin bothers many women and men more than they admit: in photos, in profile, when looking down. If the cause is a local fat pad, a small liposuction can change the contour under the chin. At the Westfalenklinik in Dortmund, examination, procedure and check-ups take place in the same building. The clinic does not depend on external surgical centres for this, and anaesthesia is provided by anaesthetists who specialise in plastic and aesthetic surgery.

Our clinic is on Rosemeyerstraße, directly on the B1/A40 and right by the Signal Iduna Park. By car, you leave the B1 at the Dortmund-Hombruch exit, turn right into Wittekindstraße and after 700 m right into Rosemeyerstraße; you park your car in the car park deck of the building directly in front of the entrance. By train, you take the U45 from the main station to Stadtgarten and from there the U42 to the Theodor-Fliedner-Heim stop.

Where a double chin comes from: fat, skin or chin shape

Fatty tissue under the chin

Where the body stores fat is determined to a large extent by predisposition. Under the chin, such a pad is often stubborn, even at a normal weight and with plenty of exercise. This is exactly where liposuction comes in.

Sagging skin on the neck

Over the years the skin loses firmness, and on the neck this shows early. Liposuction removes fat but does not tighten clearly slackened skin. In that case a tightening procedure is the more suitable route, alone or in addition.

Shape of the chin and lower jaw

Sometimes the cause lies not in the fat but in the bone. If the chin is developed too large or too small, a chin correction changes the proportions of the face. With a protruding chin and a double chin, a small liposuction can be included in the same procedure.

Is liposuction of the chin right for you?

Liposuction of the chin is mainly an option if these points apply:

  • The fat pad under the chin is localised
  • The skin on your neck still has enough firmness
  • Your weight has been stable for some time
  • You are healthy and well informed about the procedure
  • You would like a changed contour under the chin

Liposuction is not suitable for losing weight; it shapes individual regions. If you want to lose weight, we advise you on medically supervised routes under Weight loss. Whether the chin or another region is the focus is also shown in the overview Liposuction or tightening?

How we plan liposuction of the chin in Dortmund

  1. Step 1

    Consultation

    Examination. We look at your chin, neck and jawline, check the firmness of the skin and discuss your ideas and the limits of the procedure.

  2. Step 2

    Before the procedure

    Marking and anaesthesia. Your doctor marks the area. Depending on the extent, the procedure is carried out under local anaesthesia, twilight sedation or general anaesthesia.

  3. Step 3

    The procedure

    Water-jet technique. A solution of saline and local anaesthetic is introduced, then the fat is suctioned out through small puncture sites with a thin cannula.

  4. Step 4

    Afterwards

    Dressing and compression. A close-fitting dressing and then compression support healing. Depending on the extent, you go home the same day or stay one night with us.

Healing and compression after liposuction of the chin

In the first few days, swelling, a feeling of tension and bruising under the chin are normal. After liposuction, the Westfalenklinik recommends wearing compression all day for the first four to six weeks. We will explain to you in the consultation what compression looks like on the chin and how long you wear it in your case.

Patients are usually back out among people 2 to 3 days after liposuction. In the first two to three weeks you should avoid physical exertion, as well as sunbathing and saunas, so that the puncture sites heal well. The stitches dissolve on their own. What the new contour looks like only becomes clear once the swelling has subsided; the result also depends on your skin and a stable weight. More on this under After liposuction.

Risks and limits of liposuction of the chin

Even a small procedure is a procedure. Bruising, swelling, wound-healing problems, numbness in the treated skin and surface irregularities are possible; in addition there are the risks of anaesthesia, which vary depending on your state of health. Before the procedure we discuss all risks with you in detail.

Liposuction changes the fat pad, not the shape of the bone and not the quality of the skin. How clearly the contour changes therefore depends on your starting findings. Assessing honestly what is possible and what is not is part of every consultation in Dortmund for us.

When the skin on the neck gives way: tightening at the Westfalenklinik

Facelift with neck tightening

In a facelift, depending on the starting situation, the neck and jawline can also be tightened. Liposuction in the chin or neck area can supplement the procedure.

Thread lift

In a thread lift, fine medical threads are placed under the skin. The possible regions include the jaw and neck area; the procedure is carried out under local anaesthesia and as an outpatient.

RENUVION® on the neck

With RENUVION®, slackened skin is intended to be tightened in a minimally invasive way, including on the neck and décolleté. We clarify in the examination whether the method is suitable for your skin.

Frequently asked questions

When is liposuction of a double chin an option?

If there is a localised fat pad under the chin and the skin on the neck still has enough firmness to settle afterwards. We assess whether both apply in your case during the examination at the Westfalenklinik in Dortmund.

Does liposuction help if the double chin comes from the shape of the chin?

No. If the cause lies in the shape of the chin or lower jaw, removing fat does not change anything about that. In that case a chin correction may be the more suitable route, in which a small liposuction can be included in the same procedure.

What if the skin on the neck is loose?

Liposuction removes fat, but it does not tighten clearly slackened skin. Depending on the findings, a facelift with neck tightening, a thread lift on the jaw and neck area or RENUVION® on the neck may then be an option.

Do I have to wear compression after liposuction of the chin?

Yes, every liposuction includes compression, which is meant to counteract swelling and help the skin to settle. We discuss with you in the consultation what it looks like on the chin and how long you wear it.

When am I back out among people after liposuction?

After liposuction, patients are usually back out among people after 2 to 3 days. How long swelling and bruising remain visible on the chin varies individually.

What risks does liposuction of the chin have?

As with any procedure, bruising, swelling, wound-healing problems and irregularities of the skin surface are possible, as well as the risks of the chosen anaesthesia. Before the procedure we inform you about this in detail.

Will there be scars after liposuction of the chin?

The puncture sites for the cannula are small, about 4 to 5 mm, and are placed as inconspicuously as possible. The stitches dissolve on their own, and the small scars usually fade over time.

What does liposuction of the chin cost in Dortmund?

The price depends on the extent of the procedure and on whether it is combined with a chin correction or a facelift. After the consultation you receive a no-obligation cost estimate; the prices of the Westfalenklinik are final prices including follow-up treatments and anaesthesia. German statutory health insurance does not usually cover liposuction for aesthetic reasons.
