With increasing age or losing weight chin and neck may have a saggy, loose, wrinkled appearance.
With increasing age or losing weight, the chin and neck may have a saggy, loose, wrinkled appearance. Some people may also inherit the look of loose skin beneath the chin from their family. When it comes to skin aging, the neck is one of the first places to show age on the face, and, for some people, fat is more likely to collect under the chin. This extra fat and loose skin called a double chin can blunt their facial profile.
A double chin can be corrected by any one of the techniques given below-
Neck liposuction is the most effective and quickest way to get rid of double chin. The choice of the procedure depends on your age and your facial profile which will be recommended by Dr Amit Agarwal after a physical examination of your face.
Double chin correction makes you look younger or thinner by shaping the area, removing excess fat, and skin, and smoothening the skin. It also reduces wrinkles in the area.
Double chin correction is commonly combined with other facial cosmetic surgery procedures, such as Chin correction, notably chin augmentation and rhinoplasty for more comprehensive improvements in facial contour definition
Dr. Amit Agarwal can correct a double chin using any of the following procedures:
Neck liposuction can be done under tumescent local anaesthesia. One or two very small incisions (2mm) along the pre marked line are made behind the ear or beneath the chin. Then tumescent anaesthesia solution is infused in the fat tissues under the skin of the area to be liposuctioned to reduce bleeding, pain and trauma to the tissues. A hollow small cannula is inserted through the incision with a restricted to and fro motion to loosen the excess fat. Then with the help of high pressure surgical vacuum which is attached to the hollow tube or cannula, this fat is suctioned out of the body Finally, a special chin strap is put to support the skin while it heals. Neck liposuction refines the jawline to enhance the chin or bring balance to facial features. Patients with good skin tone will typically see the best results. Results are permanent if the patient maintains a stable weight. In few cases where muscle tightening is required, mini neck lift or neck lift is done.
Submentoplasty and neck lift surgery involve making incisions in the skin. Dr Amit Agarwal will mark the chin and neck with lines and arrows indicating areas of approach. Incisions are made usually around and behind the ear. Then excess fat and skin from the neck is removed. He may also tighten the platysma, or neck muscle, to make the skin appear more toned. Finally, skin incisions are closed with glue or stitches (sutures). These suturesaren't visible to anyone after complete healing usually.
Injection Kybella This nonsurgical approach for double chin correction requires several treatment sessions spaced out by a month each. Most people receive two or three treatments, but it can take up to 4-6 sessions, depending on the patient and the amount of excess fat in the double chin area. Kybella may also be non-responsive in few patients and patients may require neck liposuction after failed treatment with kybella injections. The injections can be painful (require numbing with Local anaesthetic during injection) and is expected to have a swollen neck for about 10 days after each treatment session.This treatment is ideal for people who are unfit for facial rejuvenation surgery. The treatment also provides long-lasting results, but only if you maintain a normal weight.
After surgery, the treated area is covered with bandage and a chin strap. This chin strap helps in the compression of skin and also reduce swelling giving you desired shape and improved contour. You can be discharged on the same day or next day after surgery.
After injection kybella - you will likely have some swelling, bruising, or numbness under your chin. Be cautious and inform if you develop uneven smile, facial muscle weakness, difficulty swallowing or injection site problems.
