Signs You’re a Good Candidate for Submental Liposuction

Signs You’re a Good Candidate for Submental Liposuction

For many people, fat under the chin—also called submental fat—is frustrating. Weight gain, aging, and genetics can all play roles in the development of submental fat. Yet, it can be incredibly difficult, if not impossible, to lose. The good news is that submental fat doesn’t have to be a drag on your self-esteem. Submental liposuction can get rid of this excess fat once and for all, so you can look and feel your best. Here are some signs that this plastic surgery treatment could be right for you.

Diet and exercise haven’t changed your submental fat. 

Many people start addressing their submental fat by trying a diet and exercise regimen. Although this can have benefits for some people, others find that weight loss does not fully resolve the issue. Before you have submental liposuction, your plastic surgery may discuss your previous efforts to try to resolve the problem with diet and exercise to ensure that the procedure is right for you. It’s normal for other factors, like aging, to diminish your body’s ability to lose submental fat and create the desired about of definition under the chin and along the neck through diet and exercise. 

You have a genetic predisposition to submental fat. 

Does excess submental fat seem to run in your family? It’s extremely common for people with unwanted submental fat to have a genetic predisposition to developing it, regardless of body weight. If your genes are behind your submental fat, liposuction is the ideal solution for achieving the facial silhouette you want. 

You have realistic expectations about the procedure.

Patients who go into submental liposuction surgery with realistic expectations are generally the most satisfied with the outcome. Your plastic surgeon will discuss submental liposuction with you at length, including what to expect on the day of the procedure and what results you should expect to achieve.
