"All-inclusive" means operating theatre and facilities, pre-operative laboratory work, the post-surgical recovery package and follow-up until discharge — not the surgeon’s fee alone. Approximate figures in Mexican pesos, current for 2026; results may vary from person to person. Every figure published on this site is approximate and is not a quote. Any procedure or treatment first requires a private assessment consultation with Dr. Arístides Arellano —$800 MXN, charged separately— and it is at that consultation that the definitive cost of your case is determined.
How much does double chin surgery cost in Mexico?
From approximately $35,000 MXN with Dr. Arístides Arellano, plastic surgeon in Puebla. It is an outpatient procedure: under an hour, local anaesthesia with sedation, and you go home the same day. The incision is 3 to 4 millimetres, hidden beneath the chin, and most patients are back at work in 3 to 5 days.
The figure is all-inclusive — theatre, pre-operative labs and the recovery package are inside it — not a bare surgeon’s fee that grows line by line afterwards.
What the price includes — and what it does not
Included: operating theatre and facilities, pre-operative laboratory work, the compression chin strap, the post-surgical recovery package and follow-up visits until discharge.
Not included: the assessment consultation ($800 MXN, charged separately). If your plan combines the chin with another procedure — buccal fat removal, genioplasty, a facelift — the written quote is built at that same assessment.
Fat, skin or chin? Three different problems, three different prices
"Double chin surgery" is an umbrella term covering three distinct problems:
- If it is fat — the most common case in younger patients with firm skin — the answer is submental liposuction: from $35,000 MXN.
- If it is hanging skin — neck laxity rather than fat — liposuction alone disappoints: it removes the fat and leaves the fold. That conversation is a face and neck lift or, in mild laxity, the endolift.
- If the problem is the chin — a short or recessed chin creates a double-chin look even with little fat — the profile correction is genioplasty: from $40,000 MXN.
Many cases combine two of the three. That is why the diagnosis — pinching, measuring, reading the profile — is worth more than any price list: it defines what to operate on, and with it, what it costs.
Liposuction or endolift for the double chin?
If the fat deposit is small and the skin still retracts, the facial endolift — a laser fibre beneath the skin, no surgery — may be enough; its cost is set at the consultation according to the areas treated. If the fat is substantial, surgical submental liposuction remains the definitive answer: it removes the volume in a single session, with a stable result at a stable weight. Both options exist at this clinic and are compared at the same consultation.
Why can’t the exact price be given without seeing you?
Because it depends on how much fat there is, on skin quality, on whether the chin contributes to the problem, and on whether procedures should be combined in one session. The assessment costs $800 MXN, is charged separately, and you leave it with the diagnosis and the definitive written cost. Every figure published on this site is approximate and is not a quote. Any procedure or treatment first requires a private assessment consultation with Dr. Arístides Arellano —$800 MXN, charged separately— and it is at that consultation that the definitive cost of your case is determined.
