With the rise of video calls and selfies, many women are becoming aware of a double chin they never noticed before. Constantly seeing themselves on screen makes this small flaw suddenly very visible—and difficult to accept.
Double chin liposuction (also called neck liposuction or neck liposuction) is a cosmetic surgery procedure that allows for the permanent removal of excess fat under the chin and along the jawline.
Performed under local anesthesia in a surgical clinic in Marseille, this technique offers natural skin retraction with light after-effects and a rapid return to social life.
According to feedback gathered from patients, an overwhelming majority believe that this intervention is “worth it”, which is explained by the visible effectiveness of the procedure and the ease of the after-effects.
Do you recognize yourself in any of these situations?
“I have a double chin even though I’m thin.”
You watch what you eat, you're active… and yet that double chin persists. Often hereditary, this localized fat deposit doesn't respond to diets or exercise. It gives your face a puffy appearance that doesn't reflect your true figure.
Why is double chin liposuction right for you?
When the skin is toned, it naturally retracts after fat removal. The result is often spectacular: a defined jawline, a refined profile, a face that regains character.
Liposuction of the neck alone is sufficient, without any additional procedures.
“My face is getting heavier, but I’m not ready for a facelift.”
You notice that the oval of your face is sagging.
The angle between the chin and the neck is fading.
Jowls are starting to appear.
The idea of a facelift seems premature or too invasive to you.
Why might cervical liposuction be your solution?
If your skin retains good elasticity, neck liposuction can "reshape" the tissues. It can simultaneously treat a double chin and emerging jowls.
This procedure delays the need for a facelift by several years, or even avoids it if the sagging remains moderate.
Double chin liposuction: before/after results
What you can expect
The results of neck liposuction are visible gradually:
- At 1 week: the swelling decreases, the change begins to take shape
- At 1 month: the first net results appear
- At 3-6 months: final result, the skin is completely redraped
The observed benefits
- A redesigned oval: the angle between the chin and the neck is restored. The rounded volume that weighed down the profile disappears.
- A natural rejuvenating effect: the face appears more dynamic, more toned, without altering the features.
- Permanent results: the removed fat cells do not return. The result is permanent if the weight remains stable.
- No visible scars: the 2mm incisions are hidden under the chin and behind the angles of the jaw.

Frequently asked questions about neck liposuction
Won't my skin sag afterwards?
This is the most frequently asked question.
In well-selected patients (with elastic skin), the skin naturally tightens. It reattaches to the neck muscles without hanging loose.
Is the procedure painful?
No. Local anesthesia is sufficient for this procedure. You won't feel the cannulas. Light sedation may be offered if you are anxious.
Can the jowls be treated at the same time?
Yes. Liposuction of the jowls can be combined with neck liposuction in the same surgical procedure for an overall result on the oval of the face.
Can a double chin come back?
No. The fat cells that are aspirated do not regenerate.
The result is permanent provided a stable weight is maintained.
How long will the downtime be?
Resumption possible as early as the next day.
If you prefer to conceal the marks (light bruises), allow one week.
Sport after 3-4 weeks.
What if the retraction is insufficient?
A complementary procedure (neck lift) may be offered 3 months later, if necessary. This gradual approach first assesses the extent of natural retraction.
Consultation with Dr. Desouches in Marseille
During the consultation, Dr. Christophe Desouches assesses whether neck liposuction alone will meet your expectations, or if another approach is preferable: cervicofacial lift, Nefertiti lift, thread lifts.
The goal: a natural and undetectable result, tailored to your situation.
