Four Ways to Get Rid of a Double Chin


A double chin is a common condition and its formal name is submental fat or submental adiposity. It forms when excess fat collects below the chin or when skin laxity leads to loose skin. Although it commonly occurs with weight gain other factors such as genetics and aging are associated with it and losing weight does not often make it go away. If you are thinking why do I have double chin? You are at right place.

At Al Shunnar Plastic Surgery Dubai there are several options available to get rid of your double chin for a slimmer neck and face.

Kybella

Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable medication known as deoxycholic acid. It is a bile acid that is naturally produced by the body and helps with fat absorption during the digestive process. It works to dissolve unwanted fat pockets to reduce the double chin and refine the neck contours.  

Kybella is currently only indicated for use in the submental region. The treatment takes about 15-20 minutes hence it is a relatively short procedure.

The most common side effects of kybella are redness, swelling, pain, and firmness within the injection sites but this only lasts a few days. Most patients require multiple treatment sessions to achieve their goal but the fat-dissolving results are permanent.

Submental Liposuction

Submental liposuction is a one-time surgical approach to removing submental fat. Individuals who have used this method to get rid of their double chins have reported seeing a big impact in their facial proportions.

Submental liposuction is performed with either injected numbing medication or local anesthesia. It involves the Plastic Surgeon making a small incision underneath the chin. A suction device is then inserted to remove the fat. For optimal natural results, the Plastic Surgeon usually removes fat from both the neck and the jawline.

CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting is a non-surgical treatment for removing stubborn unwanted fat from the body. It utilizes cryolipolysis whereby fat cells are frozen and destroyed by subjecting them to freezing temperatures. The destroyed fat cells are removed through the body’s natural elimination process.

During the procedure, a vacuum applicator is fitted on the patient’s neck. As the treatment is ongoing you may feel a sensation of intense pulling, cold, and slight discomfort in the treatment area.

Multiple treatments are required to achieve your desired goal. Each treatment takes about 45 minutes.

CoolSculpting can also be used to remove fat in other trouble areas such as the abdomen, thighs, back, and more.

Cervicoplasty

This procedure targets excess skin of the double chin while leaving the underlying muscles intact. It also addresses issues such as skin laxity of the neck resulting in a more defined facial profile. This treatment is best for individuals who are looking for a more permanent one-time treatment that will both remove their double chin and excess skin on the neck.
