For many residents in Southern Utah, maintaining a fit and healthy lifestyle is a priority. However, even with a dedicated fitness routine and a balanced diet, certain areas of the body can be stubbornly resistant to change. One of the most common areas of concern is the submental region, more commonly known as the "double chin." Chin liposuction in St. George has emerged as the gold standard for individuals looking to eliminate this stubborn fat and reveal a more defined, youthful jawline.
Unlike traditional weight loss, which shrinks fat cells throughout the entire body, liposuction physically removes the fat cells from the targeted area. This means that once the fat is gone from under the chin, those specific cells do not return. At SCULPTED, we specialize in body contouring techniques that prioritize safety, precision, and natural-looking results, helping our patients feel more confident in their profiles and photos.
The unique anatomy of the neck and jawline requires an expert touch. Because the skin in this area is thinner and more visible than the abdomen or thighs, the technique used must be incredibly precise. Our team focuses on creating a seamless transition between the chin, jaw, and neck, ensuring that your results look like "you," only more refined.
One of the primary concerns patients have when considering cosmetic procedures is general anesthesia. At SCULPTED, we have revolutionized the experience by offering "awake" liposuction. This means you are completely comfortable and numb in the treatment area, but you remain conscious and alert throughout the process. By avoiding general anesthesia, we eliminate the associated risks, nausea, and long "grogginess" periods often found in hospital-based surgeries.
Our lead specialist, Trent Kenworthy, FNP-C, has performed over 1,000 successful liposuction procedures. This level of experience is critical when working on the delicate submental area. Using tumescent local anesthesia, we can gently numb the fat layer, making the removal process virtually painless. This approach not only enhances safety but also allows for better precision during the body sculpting process.
Awake liposuction allows the patient to move their head or neck slightly during the procedure if needed, which helps us ensure symmetry and a perfect contour from every angle—something that is much harder to achieve when a patient is fully unconscious.
Chin liposuction is an excellent option for men and women who are at or near their goal weight but struggle with localized fat under the chin. It is particularly effective for those who feel their jawline has "disappeared" or those who feel they look older or heavier than they actually are due to submental fullness. If you find yourself tilting your head up in photos or wearing scarves to hide your neck, you may be a perfect candidate.
Good skin elasticity is also a factor in achieving the best results. When the fat is removed, we rely on the skin to "snap back" and adhere to the new, slimmer contours of the jaw. For patients with significant skin laxity, we often recommend our complimentary skin tightening treatments to ensure the final result is smooth and firm. During your free consultation at our St. George clinic, we will assess your skin tone and fat distribution to create a customized plan.

On the day of your procedure, you'll meet with Trent Kenworthy and our clinical team to review the goals of the day. We start by marking the precise areas for fat removal. Because we use a minimally invasive approach, the incisions are tiny—usually no larger than a freckle—and are strategically placed in the natural creases under the chin or behind the earlobes where they are virtually invisible once healed.
Once the area is numbed using our specialized tumescent solution, a small cannula is used to gently break up and suction out the unwanted fat. You might feel some light pressure or a "vibrating" sensation, but you should not feel pain. The entire process for chin liposuction in St. George typically takes less than an hour. Because you are awake, you can even listen to your favorite music or chat with our staff during the procedure.
"Our goal isn't just to remove fat; it's to sculpt a jawline that enhances your natural features. By staying awake and comfortable, our patients have a much more positive experience and a faster path to their new look." — Trent Kenworthy, FNP-C
One of the biggest advantages of the SCULPTED approach is the rapid recovery time. Most of our chin liposuction patients are back to their normal daily routines within 24 to 48 hours. You will be required to wear a soft compression chin strap for the first few days to minimize swelling and help the skin conform to its new shape. While some minor bruising or "tightness" is normal, it typically resolves quickly.
While you will see an immediate improvement in your profile, the final results continue to improve over the following weeks as swelling subsides and the skin tightens. By the one-month mark, most patients see a dramatic difference in their jawline definition. Because the fat cells are permanently removed, the results are long-lasting, provided you maintain a stable weight.
At SCULPTED, we believe in transparent pricing without hidden fees. We understand that body contouring is an investment in your confidence. Our pricing structure is designed to be competitive while reflecting the high level of expertise and specialized technology we provide. For a single area like the chin, pricing typically starts at $3,500. If you choose to treat multiple areas (such as the chin and the abdomen), the price per area drops to $2,800.
We also offer "Total Transformation" packages for those looking for a complete overhaul. During your consultation, we provide a detailed quote that includes everything from the procedure itself to your follow-up care. We also offer various financing options to ensure that achieving your aesthetic goals fits within your monthly budget.
We are proud to partner with Dr. Daren Brooks, who brings over 30 years of experience in medical weight loss to our practice. We believe that body sculpting is most effective when paired with a holistic approach to health. That is why we are currently offering a special promotion: every liposuction procedure includes 3 months of GLP-1 weight loss medication and professional skin tightening treatments for free—a value of over $600.
The GLP-1 medication helps you maintain your results by managing appetite and metabolism, while the skin tightening treatments use advanced technology to stimulate collagen production. This combination ensures that your new jawline isn't just thinner, but also firmer and more youthful. It’s part of our commitment to providing the best chin liposuction St. George has to offer.
We aren't a general plastic surgery office that does "a little bit of everything." We are specialists in minimally invasive fat removal. Our focus on "awake" procedures means less downtime, lower risk, and more precise results for our Southern Utah community.
Most patients report very little discomfort. Because we use tumescent local anesthesia, the area is completely numb during the procedure. Afterward, you may feel some soreness similar to a workout, but this is easily managed with over-the-counter relief.
The incisions used for chin liposuction are extremely small (about 2-3mm). We place them in discreet locations, such as the crease under the chin. Once healed, these marks are typically invisible to the naked eye.
The fat cells removed during the procedure are gone for good. As long as you maintain a relatively stable weight, your new jawline definition should be permanent.
Most patients take 1-2 days off. If you have a desk job, you can often return within 24-48 hours, though you may choose to wear your compression garment or a scarf if you are concerned about minor swelling.
Stop hiding your profile. Get the defined jawline you've always wanted with our expert team. This month: 3 months GLP-1 + skin tightening FREE ($600+ value).
