Double Chin Removal: 5 Proven Ways to Slim Your Jawline (Without Leaving the South Bay)

A double chin — also called submental fullness — can be frustratingly stubborn. It affects people of all sizes and ages, often caused by a mix of genetics, skin laxity, and fat distribution. If you're looking for a tighter jawline or more sculpted neck, the good news is: you don’t have to go to Beverly Hills to get expert care.

Here are 5 trusted ways to remove a double chin — including surgical and non-surgical treatments — and how to decide what’s right for you.

1. Chin Liposuction (The Fastest Surgical Fix)

For those who want quick and dramatic results, chin liposuction removes fat from under the skin to reshape your profile. A small tube is inserted through a tiny incision, and the fat is suctioned out under local anesthesia.

Best for: Patients with good skin elasticity but stubborn fat
Downtime: 7–10 days of swelling and bruising
Results: Immediate contouring with long-lasting results

2. Neck Lift (For Loose Skin or Muscle Banding)

If loose skin is part of the problem — especially after weight loss or aging — a neck lift can tighten the area dramatically. This surgical option removes excess skin and may also repair muscle bands for a sharper neckline.

Best for: Sagging skin or aging-related fullness
Downtime: 2–3 weeks, with stitches and swelling
Bonus: Often combined with a facelift for full lower-face rejuvenation

3. Kybella (The Popular Non-Surgical Option)

Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment made with deoxycholic acid — a compound that dissolves fat. Once injected under your chin, it gradually eliminates fat cells that the body can’t regrow.

Best for: Mild to moderate submental fat with firm skin
Sessions Needed: 2–4 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart
Recovery: 7–10 days of swelling per session

While not painless, it's ideal for those who want to avoid surgery and still see long-term results.

4. Radiofrequency Skin Tightening (For Subtle Lifting)

For patients with minimal fat but some skin looseness, treatments like RF microneedling or Morpheus8 can help tighten and tone the area without incisions or injections.

Best for: Mild jowls or early signs of aging
Downtime: Mild redness or swelling for 1–2 days
Sessions: Usually 3–4 spaced monthly

These work best when paired with fat reduction if fullness is part of the concern.

5. Combination Treatments Work Best Long-Term

The most natural, long-lasting results often come from combining approaches — such as Kybella with skin tightening, or lipo with a neck lift. That’s why we tailor every plan to your age, skin, anatomy, and goals during your free consultation.
