What Is Submental Liposuction & FaceTite?

This combined procedure targets excess fat and mild to moderate skin laxity in the lower face and neck region. Submental liposuction gently removes unwanted fat deposits beneath the chin and along the jawline, while FaceTite uses advanced radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) to contract tissues and stimulate collagen production. Together, they contour the neck, tighten the skin, and refine facial angles for a smoother, more youthful look. The approach is ideal for patients seeking noticeable results with reduced downtime compared to traditional surgical lifts.

Before and after Submental Liposuction & FaceTite

Is This the Right Treatment Option for Me?

Submental liposuction and FaceTite may be suitable for you if you:

  • Have persistent fullness under the chin or along the jawline
  • Notice early signs of sagging skin in the lower face or neck
  • Are not ready for a full surgical neck or facelift
  • Prefer a minimally invasive option with faster recovery
  • Are in good health, maintain stable weight, and do not smoke
  • Have realistic expectations for subtle, natural-looking improvement

This procedure is especially suited for younger or middle-aged individuals with good skin elasticity, though it may also be adapted for others with mild-to-moderate skin laxity.

What Are the Benefits?

  • Reduces submental (under-chin) fullness and double chin appearance
  • Tightens and firms loose skin without large incisions
  • Defines the jawline and improves lower facial contours
  • Minimally invasive with less downtime than traditional surgery
  • No general anaesthesia required—performed under local anaesthesia
  • Results appear gradually and continue improving as collagen remodels
  • Scars are virtually invisible as incisions are small and well-hidden

How Is the Procedure Performed?

Under local anaesthesia, Dr. Basheeth begins by making a few small, discreet incisions beneath the chin. Through these openings, excess fat is gently removed using a fine cannula. Once liposuction is complete, the FaceTite handpiece is inserted to deliver controlled radiofrequency energy beneath the skin, heating and tightening the surrounding tissue. This process encourages immediate contraction and long-term collagen renewal. The entire procedure takes approximately one to two hours and is typically performed as a day procedure with no overnight stay required.

What to Expect During Recovery

Recovery is generally quick and comfortable. Mild swelling, bruising, and a feeling of tightness are normal in the first few days. Most patients wear a compression garment around the chin and neck for several days to aid healing and support tissue retraction. Light activities can be resumed within a few days, but strenuous exercise should be avoided for 2–3 weeks. Swelling subsides gradually, with visible contour improvements appearing within a few weeks and continuing to refine over 3–6 months as collagen builds and skin tightens.
