Double Chin Lift with Liposuction in Turkey
Remove stubborn chin fat and tighten loose skin for a sharper jawline, from £1,800 with hospital stay, 5-star hotel, transfers, and 12 months of aftercare.
A double chin can be caused by excess fat, loose skin, or both, and when it is a combination of the two, liposuction alone may not be enough. A double chin lift with liposuction combines fat removal with skin tightening, giving you a defined jawline and a smooth, contoured chin-to-neck profile.
This combined approach is ideal for patients who have both a stubborn fat pad beneath the chin and some degree of skin laxity. The liposuction removes the fat, while the lift tightens and repositions the skin to prevent any sagging after the fat is gone. The result is a clean, sculpted jawline that frames your face.
In the UK, a double chin lift with liposuction typically costs between £3,500 and £6,000. With The Health Store Turkey, your all-inclusive package starts from just £1,800, covering your procedure at a government-licensed hospital, 5-star hotel, VIP airport transfers, a personal translator, and 12 months of aftercare.
Was ist Double Chin Lift (with liposuction)?
A double chin lift with liposuction is a combined procedure that addresses both excess fat and loose skin beneath the chin. It creates a more defined jawline and a smoother transition from the chin to the neck.
The liposuction component removes the pocket of fat beneath the chin (known as submental fat) using a small cannula inserted through a tiny incision in the natural crease under the chin. This sculpts the area and eliminates the fullness that creates the double chin appearance.
The lift component tightens the skin and, if needed, the underlying platysma muscles. This prevents the skin from looking loose or saggy after the fat has been removed. Excess skin may be trimmed, and the remaining tissue is repositioned for a smooth, firm contour.
This procedure can address:
- A double chin caused by both fat and skin laxity
- A soft or undefined jawline
- Submental fullness that persists despite diet and exercise
- Early neck sagging concentrated beneath the chin
- Loss of definition between the chin and neck
The procedure is performed under general anaesthetic and takes 1.5-2.5 hours. The combination of fat removal and skin tightening produces a more comprehensive result than either technique alone.
Bin ich geeignet?
A double chin lift with liposuction may be right for you if:
- You have a noticeable double chin that bothers you
- The double chin is caused by both excess fat and some loose skin
- Diet and exercise have not resolved the fullness beneath your chin
- You want a defined jawline and smooth chin-to-neck profile
- You are in good general health and fit for general anaesthetic
- You are a non-smoker, or willing to stop smoking at least 4 weeks before and after
- You have realistic expectations about the outcome
If your double chin is caused primarily by fat with good skin elasticity, liposuction alone may be sufficient. If your concern is mainly loose skin with muscle banding, a neck lift may be more appropriate. Your surgeon will assess and recommend the best approach.
Wie läuft der Eingriff ab?
Before Your Procedure
Your journey starts with a free consultation, online, by phone, or at one of our UK consultation days. You will discuss your chin and jawline concerns, and your surgeon will assess fat distribution, skin elasticity, and muscle tone.
Once you decide to proceed, you receive a treatment plan and pre-procedure instructions.
During Your Stay in Turkey
Your VIP transfer takes you to your 5-star hotel. You attend the hospital for pre-procedure assessments, blood tests, photographs, and a detailed consultation. Markings are made on the chin and neck area.
The procedure is performed under general anaesthetic and takes 1.5-2.5 hours. Your surgeon performs liposuction first to remove excess fat, then tightens the skin and muscles for a smooth result. You stay in hospital overnight with nursing care.
After Your Procedure
You will wear a supportive chin strap to help control swelling and support the new contour. Your surgeon checks your healing before you travel home. Sutures are removed after 7-10 days. You receive aftercare instructions and 12 months of support.
Erholung & Nachsorge
Recovery is manageable, with the compression garment playing an important role in achieving a smooth result.
Day 1-3: Expect swelling and mild bruising beneath the chin and along the jawline. The area may feel tight and tender. Wear your chin strap as directed. Keep your head elevated. Pain is managed with prescribed medication.
Day 3-7: Swelling begins to reduce. Bruising fades. The improved jawline definition starts to emerge. Avoid sharp head movements and heavy lifting.
Day 7-10: Sutures are removed. The chin and jawline look noticeably more defined. Most patients return to work and social activities.
Week 2-3: Most visible swelling has resolved. You can reduce chin strap wear as directed. Light exercise can be resumed.
Month 1-3: Residual swelling fully settles. The final contour is established, a defined jawline and smooth chin-to-neck profile. Any numbness resolves.
Risiken & Überlegungen
This combined procedure has a strong safety profile when performed by an experienced surgeon.
Common effects (expected and temporary):
- Swelling and bruising beneath the chin, resolves within 2-3 weeks
- Tightness and numbness, temporary, improves over weeks

- Skin irregularities, uncommon, usually self-resolving
- Asymmetry, minor, typically settles
- Nerve irritation, temporary
- Infection, rare with sterile technique
How your safety is managed: Your procedure takes place at a government-licensed, JCI-accredited hospital. Your surgeon is experienced in chin and jawline contouring. Hospital care ensures monitoring, and 12 months of aftercare provides ongoing support.

Häufig gestellte Fragen
Liposuction alone removes fat but does not tighten the skin. If you have some degree of skin laxity as well as excess fat, the skin can appear loose or saggy after fat removal. Combining the two ensures the fat is removed and the skin is tightened simultaneously, producing a smooth, defined result. Your surgeon will assess whether you need the combined approach or liposuction alone.
The fat cells removed during liposuction do not regenerate. However, significant weight gain after the procedure can cause remaining fat cells in the area to enlarge. Maintaining a stable, healthy weight helps preserve your result long-term. The skin tightening component also provides lasting improvement.
Most surgeons recommend wearing the chin strap continuously for the first 1-2 weeks, then at night only for another 1-2 weeks. The strap helps reduce swelling, supports the tightened skin, and contributes to a smooth final contour. Your surgeon will give specific guidance based on your procedure.
The incisions are very small and placed in discreet locations, typically in the natural crease beneath the chin and sometimes behind the ears. Once healed, these incisions are virtually invisible. The scar beneath the chin is particularly well-hidden in the natural fold.
You will notice a significant improvement within the first 2-3 weeks as swelling settles. The final, refined result typically becomes fully apparent after 2-3 months, once all residual swelling has resolved and the skin has fully tightened and settled into its new position.
