Defining the Jawline: Which Path is Yours?
A heavy neck or “double chin” can be frustrating because it often resists even the strictest diet and exercise. At Sculpt Sublime, I, Dr Ranjit Bhosale, tailor each case to the patient’s unique anatomy. Whether you need to remove volume or tighten tissue, understanding the mechanics of these procedures is the first step toward a sculpted profile.
When you stop looking tired and start looking refreshed, it is often due to the restoration of the “cervicomental angle” the sharp 90-degree turn where your neck meets your jaw.
Submental Liposuction: The Volume Reducer
If your primary concern is a pocket of fat under the chin, but your skin is still elastic and firm, liposuction is the gold standard. For those seeking the latest in fat-emulsification technology, we utilise advanced liposuction techniques such as VASER to ensure a smoother, more refined contour. You can explore VASER’s precision for double chin fat removal to see how this technology minimises trauma to surrounding tissues.
- How it works: A tiny cannula is inserted through a 2mm incision to suction away fat cells.
- The Result: Liposuction before and after often shows a significant reduction in bulk and a redefined jawline.
- Recovery: Most patients wear a compression chin strap for a few days. Our specific Mumbai recovery hacks help patients manage post-operative care and swelling in our local climate.
Neck Lift Surgery: The Structural Solution
For patients with “turkey neck” or vertical bands, liposuction alone isn’t enough. You need to address the underlying platysma muscle.
- How it works: We tighten the neck muscles and remove excess skin. To achieve skin-tightening synergy, we often pair it with specialised modern facelift techniques for total lower-face rejuvenation.
The Result: A crisp, smooth neck that eliminates sagging skin and creates a youthful silhouette.
The Sculpt Sublime Difference: What to Expect Beyond the Consultation
The “Pinch vs. Pull” Self-Test
Which procedure fits you? If you are not sure, try this at home:
- The Pinch: Gently pinch the tissue under your chin. If you can grasp a thick “roll,” it’s likely submental fat, making you a prime candidate for double chin surgery via liposuction.
- The Pull: Look in the mirror and gently pull the skin of your neck toward your ears. If your jawline suddenly looks sharper, your issue is likely skin laxity, which may require a Neck Lift Surgery.
Your 3-Month Transformation Timeline
- Day 7: Social recovery. Most bruising can be managed with concealer as you return to work.
- Month 1: You may feel residual internal “hardness”; this is a regular part of the healing process.
- Month 3: The “Final Reveal.” Swelling has vanished, showing your permanent profile.

7 Reasons to Consider Double Chin Surgery
- Permanent Fat Removal: Liposuction physically removes fat cells, preventing their regeneration.
- Immediate Jawline Definition: The change creates a “frame” for the previously hidden face.
- Minimal Scarring: Incisions are hidden in natural creases, making them virtually invisible.
- Customisable Complexity: Many patients combine liposuction with a Neck Lift Surgery for a comprehensive result.
- Boosted Professional Confidence: In the era of video calls, sharpening your profile can often significantly increase your self-esteem.
- Enhanced Facial Balance: By removing excess volume, we restore the natural proportions of your chin and jaw.
- Bespoke Financial Planning: Because every face is different, your liposuction cost in India or neck lift cost is determined based on your specific anatomical needs during your visit. Schedule yours today to get a customised quote.
