Submental fullness, more commonly called a double chin, is not always caused by being overweight. Many women and men can blame genetics for this build-up of fat under the chin and the neck. Our board-certified plastic surgeons are dedicated to offering their patients a variety of choices when it comes to addressing any concern.
People considering double chin treatments who live in Baton Rouge, Covington, Lafayette, Metairie, or New Orleans, Louisiana, have both surgical and nonsurgical options at Weiler Plastic Surgery. As plastic surgeons who specialize in facial aesthetics, our talented providers can help you decide which approach is best suited to your needs and cosmetic goals.

How Much Do Double-Chin Treatments Cost in Baton Rouge?
The cost for double-chin facial sculpting procedures ranges from $3,900 to $7,000 depending on the procedure performed and individual patient factors. We provide patients from the surrounding area, New Orleans, and beyond, with a personalized price estimate during the consultation to take home and consider. Our patient financing options are available for qualified patients who are interested.
Liposuction
Liposuction is a quick, precise, and efficient option for addressing excess fat under the chin and along the neck. Our plastic surgeons perform it as an outpatient procedure in their onsite office suite using a local anesthetic to avoid the side effects and risks related to general anesthetic. The unwanted fat is infused with a solution that makes fat removal easier while controlling discomfort and bleeding. The surgeon inserts a thin tube, called a cannula, through tiny incisions to carefully suction away the fat. Results can be enhanced with Renuvion® nonsurgical skin tightening. After treatment you need to wear an elastic compression band at all times for the first few days, then at night for a few weeks. Facial liposuction is part of Dr. Weiler’s modern facelift technique called the Timeless Face.
As an added benefit, the excess fat that is removed may be used for facial fat grafting to naturally reshape flattened cheeks and fill in hollows around the eyes. For one full year following your surgery, we invite you to enjoy special discounts and rewards through our Post-Op Perks program.
CoolSculpting® Elite
CoolSculpting Elite is a breakthrough, nonsurgical fat reduction treatment that is FDA-cleared for use under the chin. CoolSculpting Elite uses controlled cooling to destroy fat cells that can cause the appearance of a double chin. Using a specially designed C-shaped applicator, which fits snugly under the chin, CoolSculpting Elite targets and crystallizes fat cells without harming the skin’s surface or other tissues. No downtime is needed following this non-invasive procedure. Results aren’t immediate; the treated area gradually shrinks as dead fat cells are naturally flushed from the body. Most patients need 2 treatments to produce the desired results.

KYBELLA®
KYBELLA is another innovative nonsurgical option for submental fat reduction. This FDA-approved treatment involves injections of deoxycholic acid into the unwanted fat and takes about 20 minutes to complete. Before treatment, the skin is numbed with an anesthetic cream and ice packs for enhanced comfort. Next, a series of quick injections are made over the skin. It is normal to have temporary swelling and redness of the skin; however, no downtime is needed.
