Submental Liposuction in Nashville with Dr. Olivia MaDan | BEYOND Collective
Many people are bothered by their appearance when they see their profile at an unflattering angle or accidentally open the front camera. Stubborn submental fullness, commonly known as a double chin, can make achieving a snatched jawline and defined neck feel impossible, even with dedicated fitness efforts. This persistent fat beneath the chin is often resistant to diet and exercise, impacting not just your appearance but also your confidence and self esteem. Submental liposuction can help significantly enhance your facial appearance by reducing double chin fullness and redefining a more sculpted chin, jawline, and neckline. For men and women impacted by submental fullness, submental liposuction (sometimes referred to as chin or neck liposuction) may be the answer to improve the appearance of the lower face and neck ensuring you feel confident in any situation at any angle.
Nashville submental liposuction can help you reclaim your youthful facial profile by enhancing your chin, jawline, and neck, improving your overall facial appearance, and boosting your confidence. Dr. Olivia MaDan and our compassionate all-female staff at BEYOND Collective are dedicated to helping you achieve your cosmetic goals and feel more confident in your own skin.

What Is Submental Liposuction?
Submental liposuction is a cosmetic procedure designed to permanently remove stubborn fat deposits to create a leaner, sleeker appearance of the chin, neck, and jawline. The procedure targets submental fat beneath the chin to reduce the appearance of a double chin to redefine the jawline. A submental liposuction procedure can help rejuvenate your more youthful, overall facial appearance.
During submental liposuctionat BEYOND Collective, Dr. Olivia MaDan strives to create a slimmer facial profile and enhance her patients’ confidence. Dr. MaDan often performs submental liposuction in conjunction with a face or neck liftto achieve full facial rejuvenation. Less invasive combination procedures, like Renuvion, can be performed in conjunction to address the fat and tighten the skin. By creating 3 small (1 – 2 mm) access incisions, one behind each ear and one behind the chin crease, Dr. MaDan sculpts and defines the jawline and addresses the needs of each individual patient.
Submental fat doesn’t always respond to dietary and fitness changes. Often, there is a genetic component to the presence of this double chin fat. Submental liposuction is the gold standard to treat the submental fat. In fact, this procedure is so successful and predictable, Dr. MaDan has no reason to offer less effective treatments like Kybella or CoolSculpting. Many times, patients will try these options initially and still end up needing submental liposuction to achieve the desired outcome. With versatile submental liposuction procedures, Dr. MaDan can help enhance your appearance and create:
- Slimmer, more balanced facial profile
- More youthful appearance
- Tighter skin
- Safe, effective, long-lasting results

Am I an Ideal Candidate for
Submental Liposuction in Nashville?
Ideal candidates for Tennessee submental liposuction are those looking to improve the appearance of fullness under the chin, a double chin, a receding chin, or excess wrinkles on the neck to create a slimmer, more youthful facial profile.
Nashville submental liposuction candidates should:
- Be at a healthy, stable body weight
- Be in good overall health and live a healthy lifestyle
- Be a non-smoker or willing to quit all nicotine at least 6 weeks before and after surgery
- Not be pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have no medical conditions that may impair healing
- Have a positive outlook and realistic goals for the procedure
- Understand the surgical risks and benefits
Those who have considerable excess loose skin or minimal submental fat are not good submental liposuction candidates. However, other procedures, such as a neck lift, may be more appropriate. Dr. MaDan will discuss your facial rejuvenation options during your consultation.
Preparing for Nashville Submental Liposuction
Before your Nashville submental liposuction, it’s essential to be in good overall health. Here’s some information to help you prepare.
• Stick to a consistent exercise program, and eat a healthy, well-rounded diet with plenty of protein to help you maintain your stable weight and avoid weight fluctuations.
• Stay well-hydrated before and after surgery.
• Visit your primary physician for an examination and appropriate testing to ensure you’re medically fit for surgery. We require routine labs, such as CBC, BMP/CMP, and EKG for anyone aged 50 or older.
• Stop taking medications, supplements, or vitamins that increase bleeding or bruising risks for at least two weeks before and after surgery. For example, avoid fish oil, garlic, ginseng, vitamin E, and ibuprofen or other anti-inflammatory medications.
• If you currently smoke, vape, or use nicotine products, you should quit. As smoking is detrimental to your overall health and recovery, Dr. MaDan requires that patients stop smoking at least 6 weeks before and after surgery. A urine nicotine test will be performed on the morning of your procedure.
• Prepare your home and allow time in your schedule for recovery. Take adequate time off work, complete necessary chores and activities before surgery, and create a comfortable place to recover. It’s also helpful to freeze meals or set up a food delivery service. All necessary medications, supplies, and garments will be provided at your pre-operative appointment.
• Arrange for assistance. First, you will need a responsible adult to drive you home after your procedure and stay with you for at least 24 hours. You may also need help with household management or childcare for a few weeks following surgery.
Submental Liposuction Procedure Overview
On the night before your procedure, don’t eat or drink anything after midnight; however, you may take necessary medications with small sips of water. Avoid wearing makeup, lotions, deodorants, and remove all jewelry. Wear comfortable, loose clothing that is easy to put on after your procedure.
Review your paperwork to confirm your procedure location and arrival time. At check-in, you may need to provide identification and emergency contact information.
On the day of your procedure, you’ll meet with Dr. MaDan to review the details of your surgery and address any final questions. Submental liposuction is typically performed in-office under local anesthesia, ensuring you remain comfortable throughout the procedure without the need for general anesthesia.
MaDan will create small, discreet incisions underneath the chin crease and behind each ear to provide access for liposuction.
Using a technique tailored to your needs, Dr. MaDan will gently remove excess fat to redefine and enhance the appearance of your chin and jawline.
The incisions are small and do not require sutures. Dr. MaDan will apply steri-strips to cover the incisions, which will stay in place until your first post-procedure appointment.
Submental liposuction typically takes 1 to 2 hours and is completed in the comfort of the office, allowing you to return home the same day.
Nashville Submental Liposuction Recovery
Submental liposuction in Nashville is an outpatient procedure, meaning you will go home the same day after surgery. Arrange for someone to drive you home from your procedure and help you with household tasks, including childcare or pet care, for a few days.
For the first few weeks following submental liposuction, you will experience swelling, bruising, and mild to moderate discomfort. These side effects will gradually subside over the next few weeks. Minor swelling may persist for the next few months. Your head wrap compression garment should be worn continuously for the first three days after your procedure. After 3 days, the garment can be worn nightly for 2 weeks. The compression garment is an essential component to minimize swelling and support the tissues as they heal.
To further reduce swelling, sleep with your head elevated and use cold compresses. Dr. MaDan may prescribe pain medications or recommend over-the-counter medications to alleviate discomfort throughout your recovery.
To allow tissues to heal properly, avoid strenuous activities like exercise and heavy lifting for at least 4 to 6 weeks. Typically, patients can resume light exercises like walking or riding a stationary bike within 2 weeks.
Submental liposuction recovery depends upon the extent of the procedure and the body’s individual healing abilities. Most patients need 1 week off work for initial recovery and can resume working at that time.
How Soon Will I See My Submental Liposuction Results?
Following submental liposuction procedures, you may experience mild swelling and bruising that typically lasts 1 to 2 weeks and obscures the final outcome. Minor swelling may persist for several months before resolving completely. As swelling resolves and your chin heals, your results will reveal a crisp, defined, more youthful facial profile.
Submental liposuction incisions are small and typically placed in inconspicuous locations under the chin or behind the ears. Scarring is most pronounced in the first few months, but incisions will heal and form a pinkish scar that is usually not noticeable. Dr. MaDan will provide you with her medical-grade scar therapy regimen to optimize its appearance.
Following Dr. MaDan’s post-operative instructions, including maintaining your healthy diet and exercise routine, skincare, and sun exposure, will help you experience long-lasting results from your Nashville submental liposuction procedure.
