Mr Reza Nassab, Consultant Plastic Surgeon, offers chin and neck liposuction in Manchester, with consultations at CLNQ, Deansgate Square (and at CLNQ in Knutsford) and surgery at Deansgate Hospital in the city centre. The procedure removes stubborn fat under the chin and along the upper neck to define the jawline. It is often performed under local anaesthetic, in which case it may be carried out at CLNQ, Deansgate Square, and follow-up care is provided in Manchester.
About the procedure
Chin and neck liposuction targets a fat pocket beneath the chin that often persists despite diet and exercise. Through tiny incisions under the chin and, where needed, behind each earlobe, Mr Nassab introduces a fine cannula after infiltrating anaesthetic fluid, then removes fat evenly while leaving a smooth layer beneath the skin. The operation usually takes around an hour. It suits people with good skin elasticity whose main concern is fullness rather than loose skin. Where laxity is present, radiofrequency tightening with FaceTite or a neck lift may be discussed.
Consultation at CLNQ, Deansgate Square
At your consultation, Mr Nassab will examine your chin, jaw and neck in profile and front view, assess how much of the fullness is fat, how elastic your skin is, and whether muscle bands or jowls are contributing. He will explain whether liposuction alone is likely to meet your goals, and if not, what the alternatives are. You will discuss the anaesthetic options, recovery, scars and risks, and receive a written quote. The consultation costs £150 and is charged separately; chin FaceTite and liposuction is from £7,500.
On the day of surgery
Under local anaesthetic, the procedure may be carried out at CLNQ, Deansgate Square; with sedation or general anaesthetic, it takes place at Deansgate Hospital. You will arrive on the morning of surgery and meet the nursing team and Mr Nassab, who will mark the treatment area with you sitting up. If you are having local anaesthetic you will be awake but comfortable; sedation or a general anaesthetic is available where appropriate, given by a consultant anaesthetist. Afterwards, a compression chin strap is fitted and you will rest until ready to go home, usually a few hours later. You should arrange for someone to collect you.
Recovery and follow-up in Manchester
Most people return to desk-based work within about a week, wearing the chin strap continuously at first and then at night for a further period. Bruising and swelling settle over two to three weeks, with the final contour at around three to six months. Follow-up appointments take place in Manchester so that Mr Nassab and his team can check the incisions, garment fit and early result. The recovery guide covers the timeline in more detail.
Coming from across the North West
Patients travel from throughout Greater Manchester, including Salford, Stockport, Trafford, Bury and Rochdale, as well as Lancashire, Cheshire and West Yorkshire. Because the procedure is short and often done as a day case, travelling in for surgery and returning home the same day is usually straightforward, provided you have someone to drive you. If Knutsford is closer, see chin and neck liposuction in Cheshire.
Who is suitable?
Good candidates are adults aged 18 and over, at a stable weight, with a localised pocket of fat under the chin and skin that springs back well. You should be in good general health and not smoking. If your skin is loose, your jaw bone structure is the main factor, or you are planning significant weight loss, a different approach or timing may be advised. The weak jawline guide explains the different causes of a soft jaw.
Combining with other treatments
Some Manchester patients ask about treating the neck alongside another area. Chin liposuction can sometimes be combined with eyelid surgery or other facial procedures in a single visit to Deansgate Hospital, which may change the anaesthetic plan and recovery time. Others prefer a staged approach, treating the chin first and reassessing once swelling has settled. Mr Nassab will talk through the practical and clinical pros and cons of each route so you can plan time off work and follow-up appointments sensibly.
Your safety
You will receive a contact number for the team. Contact them the same day for fever, redness or discharge, and urgently for rapid one-sided swelling under the chin or neck. Difficulty breathing, chest pain or breathlessness needs 999, and sudden calf pain or leg swelling needs same-day advice from your GP or NHS 111. Read the risks and safety page before your consultation, and contact us to book.
