A double chin or excess fat along the jawline are common aesthetic concerns that can affect facial harmony. Fortunately, effective modern techniques are available to sculpt and tighten this area. At Brussels Surgical & Esthetic Center, we offer tailored solutions, combining radiofrequency-assisted liposuction with thread lifting to deliver natural, long-lasting results. These techniques can be performed on their own or together, depending on your specific needs.
At Brussels Surgical & Esthetic Center, chin liposuction combined with radiofrequency and thread lifting offers a modern and effective solution to remove excess submental fat, enhance jawline definition, and tighten the skin. This procedure leverages advanced technologies to deliver natural, lasting results that are fully personalized to your goals.
Our unique combination of targeted techniques delivers natural-looking results while stimulating skin regeneration and tissue tightening. Here are the most frequently asked questions about this procedure.
We have extensive expertise in jawline contouring and often combine two innovative techniques: radiofrequency-assisted liposuction and thread lifting, occasionally complemented by buccal fat removal. Prices start at 1800 euros for simple chin liposuction using the VASER technique. If combined with buccal fat removal, the price is around 3000 euros. When combining thread lifting and full jawline liposuction, the total cost can reach up to 4000 euros, VAT included. Results at three months are often impressive.
This technique combines traditional liposuction with radiofrequency, which liquefies the fat before it is removed through suction. Radiofrequency also stimulates collagen production, helping to firm the skin in the treated area.
Thread lifting complements liposuction by repositioning tissue and providing an immediate lifting effect. It also stimulates collagen production, enhancing skin tightening results. This combination reduces submental fat, improves jawline definition, and rejuvenates the skin, delivering natural and long-lasting results.
This treatment is particularly suitable for patients in good health who wish to reduce submental fat while tightening the skin. However, each case is unique. If there is significant sagging or skin laxity, additional procedures such as a neck lift or skin tightening treatments may be considered. At Brussels Surgical & Esthetic Center, we often combine several approaches to provide optimal and customized results based on your specific needs.
Local anesthesia is administered to ensure comfort. Radiofrequency is used to liquefy submental fat, which is then suctioned out with a fine cannula. Thread lifts are then inserted to reposition tissue and create a lifting effect.
Discomfort is minimal thanks to local anesthesia. Some mild soreness may be experienced post-treatment, but it is generally well tolerated.
Radiofrequency is a technology that uses electromagnetic waves to heat adipose tissue, effectively liquefying fat for precise removal. When used alone, the procedure requires no surgical incisions, as it is performed through tiny punctures in the skin using a fine probe. Radiofrequency-assisted chin contouring offers several advantages. It is significantly less invasive than traditional liposuction, resulting in a shorter recovery time, often within 24 hours. Additionally, the thermal energy stimulates collagen production, which helps tighten the skin and enhance its texture, contributing to a subtle lifting effect in the chin and neck area.
Most patients can resume light activities within 24 to 48 hours. Swelling and bruising may last one to two weeks, but full recovery is typically achieved within one month.
Wearing a compression bandage is recommended to aid healing and reduce swelling. You should avoid intense physical activity for at least two weeks and follow your surgeon’s instructions regarding prescribed creams or medications.
Yes, but avoid very hot water and do not scrub the treated area vigorously during the first few days.
Results become visible as swelling subsides, usually around two weeks after the procedure. Final results are visible at around three months.
The results are long-lasting, especially if you maintain a healthy lifestyle. Thread lifts naturally dissolve over six to twelve months, but their lifting effect can last longer due to collagen stimulation.
A follow-up visit is recommended a few weeks after the procedure to assess healing and ensure optimal results.
Plastic surgery procedures

A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to correct sagging breasts by lifting and reshaping them for a firmer, more youthful appearance. Aging, pregnancy, and weight fluctuations can affect breast firmness over time. This procedure removes excess skin and repositions the areola to restore a more toned silhouette. It can be performed on its own or combined with breast augmentation and delivers long-lasting, natural results tailored to each patient.

Breast augmentation with lipofilling is an innovative solution that enhances the bust using only your own fat. This technique combines liposuction and the transfer of purified fat cells to sculpt the breast volume naturally, without implants. The result is soft, natural-looking, and long-lasting, while also refining donor areas such as the abdomen or thighs. Ideal for women seeking a moderate and progressive enhancement, this procedure delivers a harmonious result with a discreet, durable effect.

Liposculpture or lipostructure is a surgical procedure designed to refine and redefine the silhouette by eliminating localized fat deposits from different areas of the body such as the arms, abdomen, or thighs. This method aims to harmoniously sculpt body contours rather than simply remove fat. It is important to note that it is not a weight loss method and is intended for patients with stable weight who maintain a healthy lifestyle.

The cervicofacial facelift is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to correct sagging skin and tissue in the face and neck. As we age, the skin loses elasticity, wrinkles deepen, and the cheeks begin to droop, giving the face a tired, aged appearance. A facelift helps restore a naturally rejuvenated look by lifting and tightening the skin. It can also address deep wrinkles and marionette lines. For enhanced results, the procedure is often combined with complementary techniques such as lipofilling or laser treatments.
Beauty
Lipofilling is a surgical technique that involves reinjecting the patient's own fat to restore volume or improve skin quality. The fat is harvested from areas such as the abdomen or thighs, then purified before being precisely reinjected into the face, breasts, or buttocks. Unlike conventional fillers, it provides natural and long-lasting results. Depending on the refinement of the fat, the technique is referred to as microfilling or nanofilling for more targeted corrections.
Beauty
Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to rejuvenate the eyelids. It is recommended for patients who experience sagging upper eyelids, puffiness, or a tired appearance. The procedure involves removing excess skin or fat, or tightening loose skin around the eyelids, to restore a youthful and refreshed look to the eyes and upper face. In some cases, when excess skin impairs vision, blepharoplasty may be classified as functional rather than purely aesthetic. If so, INAMI reimbursement may apply following an ophthalmologic evaluation.

Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic surgery procedure that corrects nasal imperfections. Small irregularities in the nose, located at the center of the face, can affect both quality of life and self-confidence.

This is referred to as septoplasty, a procedure reimbursed by the INAMI in Belgium.

This procedure is often sought by men with anatomically normal dimensions who nevertheless experience psychological discomfort or dissatisfaction with their appearance. Performed by experienced surgeons, penoplasty employs tailored surgical techniques to achieve natural-looking, personalized results.
