Double Chin Treatment
A double chin, otherwise called an under chin, occurs when the jaw is weak compared to the soft tissue under the neck and can make people look overweight and older than they really are.
The Double Chin occurs in the area from the chin to the underside of the neck. Effects such as excessive fat deposit, sagging and wrinkles on the Double Chin area make the person appear older than she/he is. This kind of sagging, fat deposits etc. effects can only be eliminated thanks to the Double Chin Aesthetic Procedures.
Often the fat deposit caused by excess weight and its sagging over time are seen in both men and women, but it is more common in women due to skin structure.
Some common treatments include:
Lipolysis injections: This treatment involves the use of injections that contain deoxycholic acid, a substance that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected into the double chin area, it can target and dissolve fat cells, resulting in a more contoured appearance.
Cryolipolysis: Also known as “fat freezing,” this procedure uses controlled cooling to target and destroy fat cells. The treated fat cells are then gradually eliminated by the body over time.
Radiofrequency (RF) treatments: RF devices use heat energy to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin. By applying RF energy to the double chin area, it can improve skin elasticity and reduce sagging.
Laser-assisted liposuction: This is a minimally invasive procedure that uses laser technology to liquefy and remove excess fat from the double chin area.
Neck lift surgery: For severe cases of sagging skin and excess fat, a neck lift surgery may be recommended. During this procedure, the surgeon will remove excess skin and fat, and tighten the underlying muscles to improve the contour of the neck and jawline.
The benefits of double chin treatment can include:
Improved appearance: The most obvious benefit is achieving a more defined and youthful-looking neck and jawline, which can boost self-confidence.
Non-surgical options: Many treatments for double chin reduction are non-invasive or minimally invasive, meaning they involve little to no downtime and lower risks compared to surgical procedures.
Quick and relatively painless: Some treatments, such as lipolysis injections and cryolipolysis, are quick and generally well-tolerated by patients.
Collagen stimulation: Some treatments, like RF, stimulate collagen production, which can improve skin texture and firmness in addition to reducing fat.
Customizable options: There are various treatment options available, allowing healthcare providers to tailor the approach based on the patient’s needs and preferences.
Procedures and Early Period of after Procedures
Procedure takes 1 to 4 hours depending what it is done exactly. If we only perform Liposuction to the young patient, we would not prefer the patient to stay in the hospital. If there is additional Neck Lift, overnight staying in hospital would be necessary. There may be drain tubes at the surgical area, which will be taken off within a day or two after surgery.
Regardless of the procedure to be performed for Double Chin, the garment will be applied to prevent a possible blood accumulation in the region where the procedure is performed and recoiling of the skin works more properly. This garment will remain for 2-3 weeks depending on the procedure / procedures to be performed.
Redness, bruising and enema are expected in this region for the first few days, it is normal. There are no restrictions on eating and drinking and no stitches to be removed, the stitches will be absorbed by the body over time.
Pain is not the important complaint at the recovery phase. As soon as drains will be taken, you may go to your daily life.
