Submental fullness, the pad of fat that sits beneath the chin, is largely decided by genetics and skin quality rather than by body weight. It softens the jawline, shortens the look of the neck and is the feature patients most often notice in photographs and on video calls. Training and dieting rarely shift it.
We treat the chin, jawline and upper neck as a single region using VASER, which uses ultrasound energy to loosen fat before it is removed. Because the surrounding tissue is largely left intact, a clinician can work precisely in a small area and define the jaw line rather than simply flatten the area beneath it.
Where skin elasticity has reduced, the plan pairs the procedure with NeoLift skin tightening in the same visit, so the skin retracts over the new contour. Everything is performed under local anaesthetic at our Oxford Street clinic, and you go home the same day.
