Dr. David Rapaport, board-certified plastic surgeon and Founder of Aethos, explains where incisions are placed during double-chin (submental) liposuction. He covers the typical 3-incision approach, when a 4th incision is needed for jowl treatment, how he minimizes scar visibility, and how a vein-defining tool helps reduce bruising.

Summary:
• Typical submental lipo = 3 tiny incisions (two hidden near the ears + one under the chin)
• 4 incisions when treating the jowls
• Fine hand-lipo tools used for precise jowl contouring
• Incisions are extremely small and nearly invisible once healed
• Vein-defining device helps avoid facial veins and reduce bruising
