Reduce submental fat and reveal a more defined jawline and neck contour with double chin surgery in Lahore — performed by Dr. Farhan Gohar, a Consultant Plastic, Reconstructive, and Cleft Surgeon with 15+ years of experience in safe, natural-looking facial contouring.
Double chin surgery, most often performed as submental liposuction, is a procedure that removes excess fat from beneath the chin and along the jawline using a thin cannula inserted through a small, well-hidden incision. In patients with loose neck skin or significant muscle banding, it may be combined with skin tightening or a platysmaplasty (neck muscle tightening) for a fuller correction.
It’s important to understand what double chin surgery is not: it is not a weight-loss treatment, and skin elasticity — not just fat volume — determines how smooth the final contour looks. It works best for patients with good skin quality and a stubborn fat pocket under the chin that doesn’t respond to diet or exercise.
At Azar Plast, double chin surgery in Lahore is performed by Dr. Farhan Gohar, a Consultant Plastic, Reconstructive, and Cleft Surgeon with over 15 years of surgical experience. Every treatment plan starts with an in-person consultation and assessment of your submental fat, skin elasticity, neck muscle banding, and goals, because the right technique differs from patient to patient. The focus throughout is on surgical safety, precision, and a jawline that looks like a refined, natural version of you rather than an obviously “operated on” look.At Azar Plast, cleft lip repair in Lahore is performed by Dr. Farhan Gohar, a Consultant Plastic, Reconstructive, and Cleft Surgeon with over 15 years of surgical experience in pediatric plastic and cleft surgery. Every treatment plan starts with an in-person consultation and assessment of the cleft type, the child’s general health, and feeding status, because timing, technique, and any staged procedures differ from case to case. The focus throughout is on restoring natural lip function and appearance while supporting the family through every stage of care.
Depending on your fat volume, skin quality, and consultation findings, double chin surgery can be performed using different approaches:
A medicated fluid is infused beneath the chin before fat removal, which reduces bleeding, improves comfort, and allows for controlled, even fat extraction. This is the most widely used and well-established technique for this area.
For patients with visible neck muscle banding, the underlying platysma muscle is tightened at the same time as fat removal, for a more defined neck-to-jaw transition.
Double chin surgery is sometimes paired with other facial procedures for patients seeking broader lower-face and neck rejuvenation.
Your surgeon will recommend the right technique for your case at your consultation — not every technique suits every patient.
Your surgeon evaluates your submental fat and skin quality, discusses your goals, reviews your medical history, and plans the most suitable approach.
Local anesthesia with sedation is typically used, keeping you comfortable while minimizing downtime; general anesthesia may be used if combined with other procedures.
A specialized fluid is introduced beneath the chin to prepare the fat for removal while helping reduce bleeding and discomfort.
A small, well-hidden incision is made and a thin cannula is used to gently suction out excess fat, sculpting a smoother jawline and neck contour.
The incision is closed and a chin strap or compression garment is fitted to support skin retraction and help the new contour settle.ing early healing.
When performed by a qualified, experienced surgeon in an appropriate surgical facility, double chin surgery is a well-established and generally safe procedure. Like any surgery, it carries risks — swelling, bruising, contour irregularity, temporary numbness, or asymmetry — which is why proper patient selection and surgical planning matter more than the marketing claims of any single technique.
A safety principle worth knowing as you research: the neck and chin sit close to important nerves that control lip and chin movement, so precision matters more here than in most other liposuction areas. This is why experience with facial and neck anatomy specifically, not general liposuction experience alone, is an important factor in choosing a surgeon. This is something Dr. Farhan Gohar will assess and explain clearly for your specific case.
Most patients experience mild discomfort rather than significant pain, managed with prescribed medication or even over-the-counter options in the first few days. Tightness, mild swelling, and bruising under the chin are normal and typically ease within one to two weeks. Because local anesthesia numbs the treatment area, discomfort is mainly a recovery-phase experience, not a during-surgery one.
Good candidates typically:
The only reliable way to confirm candidacy is an in-person consultation.
Recovery after double chin surgery varies from person to person. Here's a general guide to what you may expect during the healing process.
est, wear the chin strap or compression garment as instructed; swelling and bruising under the chin are normal.
Most patients return to light daily activities and desk work, with visible bruising fading.
Visible swelling largely subsides; initial jawline definition becomes clearer.
Final results settle in fully as residual swelling resolves and skin continues to retract.
Recovery time varies by patient and by skin elasticity.
Results vary based on your starting anatomy, skin elasticity, and how closely post-op instructions are followed.
Double chin surgery cost in Pakistan is not a single fixed number — it depends on:
is needed alongside fat removal
local/sedation is generally less costly than general anesthesia
As a general market reference, double chin surgery (submental liposuction) cost in Pakistan commonly falls at the lower end of the broader liposuction price range, since it is typically a single, smaller treatment area, with cost increasing if platysmaplasty or other procedures are combined. These figures are general market context, not a quote — your actual cost in Lahore can only be confirmed after Dr. Farhan Gohar assesses your chin and neck in person.

The procedure involves local anesthesia with sedation, infusing a tumescent solution beneath the chin, and using a thin cannula through a small, hidden incision to remove fat and sculpt the jawline.
