Double chin removal in Singapore can range from around $300 to $12,000, depending on the treatment method, number of sessions required, and clinic. Non-surgical options such as injectable fat dissolvers and cryolipolysis tend to sit on the lower end, while surgical procedures such as neck lift with liposuction are generally priced higher. This guide breaks down what typically drives that range, so you can compare options more meaningfully than by per-session price alone.
Price differences reflect how each treatment disrupts or reduces submental fat, with your fat volume, skin laxity, and desired timeline shaping which double chin removal option suits you.
Deoxycholic acid injections generally cost $300 to $1,200 per session, with many patients needing two to four sessions for a total of roughly $600 to $4,800. Results develop gradually over two to four months as the body clears the affected fat cells, and are generally long-lasting provided weight remains stable.
Cryolipolysis sessions are typically priced at $800 to $2,000 each, with one to two sessions generally sufficient for a total of roughly $800 to $4,000. Results tend to become visible around three months after the final session.
HIFU treatments targeting the submental area generally range from $500 to $1,500 per session, with many patients undergoing one to two sessions a year. HIFU generally produces more subtle fat reduction than injectables or cryolipolysis, making it well suited to mild cases or maintenance.
Radiofrequency devices generally cost $500 to $1,500 per session, with protocols typically involving four to eight sessions. Results tend to be modest for fat reduction but may offer more benefit for skin tightening.
Surgical treatments for double chin removal in Singapore involve liposuction for the chin and neck, with costs that typically start at $800.
Chin liposuction generally ranges from $800 to $4,000, depending on technique and whether local or general anaesthesia is used. Recovery generally involves one to two weeks of social downtime due to swelling and bruising.
Combined neck lift and liposuction procedures generally range from $8,000 to $12,000 and address fat, loose skin, and platysmal bands. This tends to suit patients with more significant skin laxity that non-surgical treatments may not adequately address, with final results typically visible at three to six months.
Not everyone is a suitable candidate for every option covered here. Factors such as skin quality, medical history, and the specific cause of submental fullness can rule certain treatments in or out for a given patient. This is assessed individually, so the cost comparisons above should be read alongside a doctor’s suitability check rather than in place of one.
Beyond the treatment method itself, several practical factors can shift where your final cost lands within these ranges.
Larger treatment areas generally require more product, longer treatment times, or more extensive surgical work. A patient requiring more vials of deoxycholic acid will typically pay more than someone achieving results with fewer vials. Similarly, liposuction for a larger double chin generally takes longer and involves more complex contouring than a small, localised fat deposit.
Non-surgical treatments rarely deliver final results in a single session. Individual variation in fat composition, treatment response, and aesthetic goals means some patients need more sessions than others. Clinics that provide a clear assessment of likely session requirements can help patients budget more accurately.
Clinics in central business district locations generally carry higher rental costs, which can be reflected in treatment pricing. Clinics in other areas may offer similar treatments at lower price points due to reduced overhead. Treatment outcomes tend to depend more on the practitioner and equipment used than on location alone.
Doctors with subspecialty training in facial aesthetics may charge higher fees. Their experience may contribute to more precise treatment placement and better complication management. For surgical procedures especially, surgeon selection can meaningfully affect outcomes.
Clinics investing in newer-generation devices may price treatments higher to reflect equipment costs. Older technology may still work adequately but could require more sessions or produce less consistent results.
Did You Know?
Submental fat has different characteristics compared with fat elsewhere on the body. It tends to contain a higher proportion of fibrous tissue, which can affect how different treatments respond in this area. This is part of why some treatments effective for body contouring elsewhere may produce different results under the chin.
Price per session only tells part of the story. Looking at total treatment cost, expected downtime, and how long results typically hold up tends to give a clearer picture than comparing single-session prices alone.
| Treatment | Typical Cost in Singapore | Sessions Generally Needed | Invasiveness | Typical Downtime | Result Duration |
| Fat-dissolving injections | $300 to $1,200 per session | 2 to 4 sessions | Non-surgical, injection-based | Minimal; mild swelling may occur | May require occasional maintenance |
| Cryolipolysis (fat freezing) | $800 to $2,000 per session | 1 to 2 sessions | Non-invasive | Minimal to none | May be long-lasting with a stable weight |
| HIFU / energy-based treatments | $500 to $1,500 per session | Often 1 session, sometimes staged | Non-invasive | Minimal | Develops gradually over 2 to 3 months; occasional maintenance may be considered |
| Radiofrequency | $500 to $1,500 per session | 4 to 8 sessions | Non-invasive | Minimal | Modest, may benefit from maintenance |
| Chin liposuction | $800 to $4,000 | Typically a single procedure | Surgical; involves anaesthesia and incisions | 1 to 2 weeks | May be long-lasting provided weight remains stable |
| Neck lift with liposuction | $8,000 to $12,000 | Typically a single procedure | Surgical; involves anaesthesia and incisions | 2 to 3 weeks | May be long-lasting provided weight remains stable |

At Glowwis, patients exploring non-surgical options for submental fullness are typically assessed for suitability across the double chin removal treatments, which include HIFU-based and thread-based approaches.
Patients who are also considering jawline definition alongside fat reduction may also explore Ultherapy Prime for jawline lift and double chin reduction to understand how skin tightening and contouring can work together.
A thorough consultation should give you a clear picture of your suitability, the treatment plan, and the full cost before you commit.
Understanding exactly what you are paying for allows for a more meaningful comparison between clinics.
Important Note:
Unusually low pricing may sometimes point to diluted products, older equipment, or a less experienced practitioner. While cost is a reasonable consideration, choosing a provider based on price alone may carry a higher risk of an unsatisfactory outcome or the need for further treatment.
Does insurance cover double chin removal in Singapore?
Double chin removal is generally classified as an aesthetic procedure, so costs are typically an out-of-pocket expense.
How long do results from non-surgical treatments last?
Many patients notice initial changes shortly after treatment, with results typically continuing to develop over the following months. Effects may last up to approximately a year, though individual results vary depending on factors such as age, skin condition, and lifestyle. Annual maintenance treatments may help support results over time. Significant weight gain can create new fat cells throughout the body, including under the chin, which may lead to fullness returning.
Can I combine different treatments for better results?
Combining modalities, such as cryolipolysis for fat reduction followed by HIFU for skin tightening, may produce a more complete outcome compared with either treatment alone. A doctor can help design an approach that addresses both fat volume and skin quality, which may offer better value than pursuing each goal separately.
What is a cost-effective option for a mild double chin?
HIFU generally offers a comparatively lower entry cost for milder cases, with visible change achievable in one to two sessions. Cryolipolysis may provide a more noticeable fat reduction at a moderate cost. For minimal fat where skin laxity is the primary concern, radiofrequency treatments may offer adequate improvement at a lower total investment.
Are payment plans available for double chin removal?
Payment options may vary by clinic, so it is worth confirming available financing terms directly with your provider before committing to treatment. Some arrangements may include processing fees or other conditions that can affect the total cost, so reviewing the details beforehand helps you plan accordingly.
Non-surgical options such as deoxycholic acid injections and cryolipolysis tend to suit mild to moderate submental fat, while more significant fat deposits or accompanying skin laxity often call for a surgical approach. Looking at total treatment cost, accounting for the number of sessions likely needed, tends to be a more reliable basis for comparison than per-session pricing alone.
