What is Submental Liposuction?

They say it can be almost impossible to lose fat in just one part of the body – and nothing can be truer when it comes to the jowls and necklineIf you have excessive fat around the jaw and underneath the chin – even if you’re not overweight – it can be difficult to feel as confident and social as you’d like to be.

That’s why it’s time to discover submental liposuction at the Beaux Arts Institute of Plastic Surgery and Glenn Dale, Maryland.  Owned and operated by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Nia Banks, Beaux Arts Institute of Plastic Surgery offers a broad range of surgical solutions for many cosmetic issues, including fat removal around the neck and jowls (submental liposuction).

So how does submental liposuction work – and what results can you expect from the procedure?

Submental Liposuction: A Rewarding Procedure

Submental liposuction is a procedure where the fatty tissue under the chin, beneath the jowl, and along the upper portion of the neck, is carefully suctioned away using small mini-cannulas and a sculpting technique.

It’s important to know that different areas of the face and neck carry skin and fat differently based on bone and muscle structure, therefore Dr. Banks may utilize a different technique to treat one area versus another.

With SmartLipo, which uses a tiny fiber optic cable that enters though tiny puncture wounds, as opposed to an incision, Dr. Banks can treat neck or submental fat. For jowls, she’ll utilize the Precision laser, which utilizes heat to stimulate collagen production, which leads to skin tightening and tissue retraction.

Submental liposuction can be one of the most rewarding cosmetic treatments, with many results rivaling that of a traditional facelift.  What’s more, it comes with relatively low risks, and is more affordable than many other surgical procedures.  Submental liposuction can cost between $2500-$3000, with many patients able to return to normal activities after just a day of recovery.

During your consultation for submental liposuction, Dr. Nia Banks will examine the fatty deposits underneath your chin and around your jawline.  This examination will help Dr. Banks determine the location of the fat and the best treatment for you.
