Tumescent Liposuction — Neck and Chin

Neck and chin liposuction removes the submental fat pad — the deposit under the chin and along the anterior neck — using MUDr. Šimek's tumescent local anaesthesia technique in Olomouc. The procedure produces several simultaneous improvements: enhanced jawline definition, a more defined chin profile, optical narrowing of the neck with a lengthening effect, improved facial proportions, and an overall rejuvenating appearance. Because only local anaesthesia is used, patients can leave the clinic the same day without accompaniment and return to normal activities quickly. The compression garment (chin strap style) is included in the price.

Submental fat accumulation — commonly described as a 'double chin' — is one of the most consistent complaints among patients seeking facial rejuvenation. The deposit is located in the submental space between the platysma muscle and the overlying skin, and its presence disrupts the cervicomental angle (the angle between the chin and neck in profile), which is one of the key anatomical determinants of perceived facial youth and defined jawline. **Why this deposit is so resistant to non-surgical approaches** The submental zone is particularly difficult to reduce through weight loss because it sits in a mechanically inactive area: the tissue is not compressed, stretched, or significantly metabolically active relative to trunk or limb depots. Non-surgical fat reduction methods (cryolipolysis, deoxycholic acid injections) have modest but variable efficacy in this zone and typically require multiple sessions. Surgical tumescent liposuction, by contrast, removes the fat in a single session under local anaesthesia and produces visible results within 2 days. **Multiple simultaneous outcomes** MUDr. Šimek's clinical documentation lists five distinct improvements from neck and chin liposuction: (1) more defined jawline — the fat pad between the skin and mandible that blurs jaw edge definition is removed, allowing the bone to be visible in profile; (2) more defined chin profile — the chin-neck junction becomes sharper; (3) neck narrowing with optical lengthening — reducing soft tissue volume at the front of the neck makes the neck appear longer and more slender; (4) improved facial proportions overall, particularly the lower-third-to-neck ratio; and (5) a rejuvenating effect, since submental fat accumulation is closely associated with perceived aging in the face, even in younger patients. **Procedure approach** A small access incision is placed in a natural skin crease under the chin — typically invisible after healing. The tumescent solution is infiltrated throughout the submental fat space, and a fine cannula removes the deposit under suction. The procedure typically takes 30–45 minutes. A chin compression garment is applied immediately and worn for approximately 2 weeks post-procedure (included in the price). **Recovery** The neck and chin are visible areas, but post-operative bruising and swelling are substantially reduced by the adrenaline in the tumescent solution. Most patients are comfortable returning to desk work within 3–5 days. The compression garment can typically be worn under clothing or at night only after the first week if needed for professional or social reasons. Initial results are visible within 2 days; the final defined jawline profile appears at approximately 3 months as residual swelling fully resolves. **Suitability** Suitable for both men and women with submental fat accumulation, whether age-related, weight-related, or genetic in origin. Particularly effective in patients who have a bony jawline but carry soft tissue that obscures it. Patients with significant neck skin laxity may benefit more from a platysmaplasty or lower facelift component alongside the liposuction — MUDr. Šimek assesses this at consultation.
