Looking in the mirror and noticing a double chin can be frustrating. The fat under your chin, also called submental fat, is often stubborn and doesn’t respond well to diet or exercise. But you don’t have to live with it anymore!
What Is a Double Chin?
A double chin forms when fat collects below the chin. While it's often linked to weight gain, you don’t have to be overweight to have one—genetics also play a big role. And for many, that extra layer can affect how they feel about their appearance.
Double Chin Liposuction: A Confidence Boost
Double chin liposuction is one of the safest and most effective ways to eliminate this excess fat and redefine your jawline. A prominent double chin can make you look older or affect your confidence. Removing it can make you feel like a new person, more comfortable in photos, and confident in social situations.
During the procedure, a small tube called a cannula is inserted through tiny incisions under the skin. The fat is gently removed, and thanks to the tiny incisions, you’ll hardly have any visible scars.
When Will I See Results?
You’ll see a noticeable reduction in the size of your double chin right after the procedure. However, some swelling and bruising are normal, and it takes about 15-20 days for the swelling to go down. Over the next few months, your jawline will continue to improve. By the three-month mark, you’ll truly appreciate your new, more defined look.
Imagine feeling more confident at work, social events, or simply enjoying clothes that fit and flatter your face.
Other Ways to Get Rid of a Double Chin
Sometimes, a double chin is caused by loose skin rather than fat, especially as we age. In such cases, a facelift or neck lift may be needed to remove the extra skin. While these procedures may leave a small scar hidden under the chin, it’s typically discreet.
