Although we cannot promise you will lose your double chin, many of our patients see a dramatic improvement, with some achieving near-total double chin removal. At the very least, we remove a majority of submental fat and help sharpen the jawline.

A single entry point is made directly under the chin, and two more are made on either side of the head under each ear. Unlike double chin lipo, we never use scalpels to create massive incisions but instead use a tool called a biopsy punch to seamlessly create tiny, two-millimeter wide entry points that heal without stitches.

Patients typically require just a couple of days to return to work, and bruising and swelling should subside within two weeks to a month. Compare that with traditional double chin liposuction, which requires several painful weeks of downtime and a lengthy recovery process that lasts several months.

Yes, we provide a chin garment. Garments are worn for a full two weeks unless instructed otherwise by your surgeons. You may take off your compression garment for a brief time when you shower or when you are washing it. During the second week, breaks for an hour or two are permitted.

Bruising varies dramatically on a case-by-case basis. That being said, most patients experience light to moderate bruising around their chin and neck that ultimately subsides within a couple of weeks. 

Thanks to the precise and mechanized nature of AirSculpt technology, we can minimize swelling and keep it quite light. Patients undergoing neck fat reduction should begin to see swelling subside within two weeks, though this may vary from person to person and could take up to a month. 

Most patients describe the sensation of Chin AirSculpt as similar to an electric toothbrush. Thanks to the use of a topical numbing solution and local anesthetic, most say they feel little to no pain during the treatment.

Compared to traditional neck fat reduction procedures, which often involve more discomfort and longer recovery times, AirSculpt offers a far more comfortable experience.

While AirSculpt always leaves the treated area's skin tighter than before, this is not a neck lift or skin tightening procedure. AirSculpt focuses on removing stubborn submental fat and helping improve skin laxity in the process, but that is not the main focus. 

Chin AirSculpt procedures tend to go relatively quickly, with most lasting between 20 and 40 minutes to complete. Compare that with invasive double chin removal, which can last hours and requires most patients to be under general anesthesia. 

Most patients need about two weeks for swelling and bruising to subside after Chin AirSculpt. However, routine activities (outside of strenuous exercise) and daily walks can be resumed as soon as the day after treatment.
