Face slimming
A unique treatment that gives more definition to the underside of your face, jawline and neck. Finally get rid of your double chin and hamster cheeks.
Are you bothered by chubby cheeks or your double chin? Do you feel that the lower part of your face is “heavy” and has a lot of volume? Have you been looking for a permanent way to remove your double chin or hamster cheeks for a long time? At Skin + Surgery we can help you with a unique face slimming treatment.
Unlike injectable or filler treatments, the results of this face slimming procedure are drastic but very natural. While injectable treatments for a less prominent jawline, or for more definition, have to be repeated regularly, this is not the case with this unique procedure.
By removing the buccal fat, we remedy chubby cheeks or hamster cheeks. This gives you less volume in the lower part of your face and gives you more contour and definition between your cheekbone and jawline. By applying liposuction to the neck and around the jawline, we remove excess and stubborn fat. This way we remove your double chin and create more definition and contour of your face. The result is a permanent V-shape and a natural transition from the jawline to the neck.
The face slimming treatment takes place under a intoxication and with local anesthetic. This means that you are very sleepy and relaxed during the procedure. Of course you do not feel pain because you are numb.
The buccal fat is removed during the face slimming procedure. This is the fat that can cause hamster cheeks. Removing it gives your face more contour and a V-shape. The surgeon will make a small incision on the inside of the cheek. The buccal fat can thus be removed through the mouth. The incision is often so small that one stitch is enough to close the wound.
To bring back the natural contours of your face and to give more definition to your jawline, the surgeon will also remove fat from the double chin. This is done with the help of liposuction. A small tube is inserted under your chin, which then sucks up the fat. The small incisions required for this are skilfully stitched, so the chance of visible scars is minimal.
The entire procedure takes about 1 to 2 hours. After a short cooling with cold packs you can go home. Because you can be sleepy, you are not allowed to independently participate in traffic. So you have to be picked up. You will be bandaged with pressure bandages. Two days after the procedure, you will come back to us at the clinic to remove the bandage.
Skin + Surgery Clinics is the only clinic in the Netherlands that offers this treatment, and Dr. Tha-In can therefore be called an absolute expert in the field of face slimming. Her years of experience with buccal fat removal and different liposuction and neck lift techniques come together in this treatment. Dr. Tha-In is honest and known for her natural results. She would be happy to receive you during a personal consultation to see if this treatment is suitable for you.

To understand where you come from and why you would like this procedure, we would like to take the time to get to know you well.

The face slimming treatment is an outpatient procedure, for which no admission is required. You can go home after the procedure and after a short rest. You are just not allowed to drive yourself yet. In that case, take someone with you to our clinic or have someone pick you up by car after the treatment. Face slimming removes buccal fat and applies liposuction to the neck to remove the double chin. The skin is not lifted. So there is no question of a face or neck lift.
The procedure takes 1 – 2 hours. Removing the buccal fat gives you a more defined V-shape and liposuction also targets your double chin. Your jawline will tighten and your face will be more contoured. The first result is visible after 1 to 2 weeks, but will continue to form in the months thereafter. The result lasts a long time. The skin aging will continue. Face slimming can be combined with other treatments, even at a later age.
We are happy to guide you through the entire treatment and healing process. We work with a specially developed pre- and aftercare protocol, so that you are optimally prepared and enjoy your recovery. Your face may be a little swollen for a few days after face slimming. For a light after-pain, taking a paracetamol is sufficient. Take sufficient rest in the first week and sleep in the supine position on an extra pillow. This helps against the swelling and promotes the healing process. Avoid pressing, straining, bending or lifting in the first weeks. Do not engage in vigorous physical activity in the first weeks.
You will achieve the best result and the fastest healing with a healthy lifestyle. In any case, stop smoking until the stitches are out, do not drink hot drinks to prevent facial congestion and do not chew solid food intensively. Otherwise, this will put pressure on the sutures in the face. After the procedure, keep moving normally to keep blood circulation going and the wound to heal quickly. You will be presentable again after one to two weeks and able to resume your daily social activities. For the first three months, do not expose your facial skin to bright sunlight and do not use the tanning bed or the sauna. We recommend a number of connective tissue massages from 3 months after the treatment. This makes the skin, underlying tissues and scars supple and soft, and promotes recovery.
Face slimming is a common surgical procedure at Skin + Surgery Clinics, with a very low risk of complications. In some cases an allergic reaction, bleeding or infection may occur. However, this is rare, as our highly qualified and experienced specialists work according to the most modern treatment techniques and use the best instruments.
Occasionally, specific complications can arise such as nerve damage and asymmetry, which are usually not permanent. If in doubt, please immediately contact your treating physician at Skin + Surgery. Our doctors are easily accessible.

Face slimming is suitable for people who have a lot of volume around the bottom of the face, the jawline and the neck (the double chin). Often this fat cannot be ‘sported away’ or ‘dieted away’ and only a combined surgical procedure gives really long-lasting results. It is important to assess whether the skin has sufficient elasticity to restore the natural contours of the face. If there is a (severe) sagging skin, the doctor will recommend another procedure.
It is a treatment that addresses multiple problem areas: from chubby cheeks to a double chin.

We work with very fine needles and fine diathermy, in order to minimize trauma to the tissue.
