Submental Liposuction Training for Physicians

Submental liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that removes excess fat from beneath the chin using small cannulas inserted through tiny incisions. Performed under tumescent local anesthesia in an office setting, it provides dramatic jawline definition and profile improvement without general anesthesia, operating room costs, or significant downtime.

Submental liposuction removes fat in a single session with immediate, visible results, while Kybella requires multiple injection sessions over several months. Liposuction is typically preferred for patients with moderate to severe submental fullness, while Kybella may be appropriate for mild cases. Liposuction also allows the practitioner to sculpt and contour the jawline with greater precision.

Yes, submental liposuction under tumescent local anesthesia is specifically designed for office-based practice. The tumescent technique provides excellent anesthesia and hemostasis without general anesthesia, making the procedure safe and practical in a properly equipped clinical setting. Most patients return to normal activities within a few days.

Potential complications include bruising, swelling, temporary numbness, hematoma, seroma, contour irregularities, and rare marginal mandibular nerve injury. The course provides thorough instruction in anatomy, technique, and complication prevention strategies that significantly reduce these risks when properly applied.

Submental liposuction typically commands fees of $2,500-$5,000+ per procedure with excellent profit margins since the primary supply costs are tumescent solution and disposable cannulas. The procedure takes approximately 45-90 minutes and generates significantly more revenue per session than non-surgical alternatives.

Yes. Under tumescent local anesthesia, submental liposuction is safe and practical in an office setting. The tumescent technique provides excellent anesthesia and hemostasis without general anesthesia. Most patients resume normal activities within 2-3 days.

Office-based tumescent submental liposuction produces comparable results to surgical center procedures for most patients. By performing it in your office, you retain the revenue and eliminate the patient's OR and anesthesia costs.

The tumescent micro-cannula approach is specifically designed for office-based practice. It is technically straightforward for physicians with anatomical knowledge. Most feel confident to begin practicing after the hands-on training session.

While physicians have the legal authority to perform many procedures, hands-on training under expert supervision dramatically accelerates the learning curve, reduces complication risk, and provides the clinical confidence needed to deliver exceptional patient outcomes from day one. Empire's structured curriculum, live patient practice, and CME accreditation also satisfy credentialing and malpractice insurance requirements that self-study alone cannot fulfill.

Adding procedural services creates new revenue streams that can significantly increase your practice income — aesthetic services alone can add $200K-$500K+ in annual revenue. Beyond finances, offering in-demand procedures improves patient retention, attracts new patient demographics, and positions your practice competitively in a market where patients increasingly expect comprehensive service offerings from their healthcare providers.

Yes. All Empire Medical Training courses for physicians are accredited through the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) and provide AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™.
