Double Chin Reduction Surgery

The attractiveness and natural beauty of humans emerges from the proportion of different parts of the face. Usually, the natural anatomy of the face has a special standard, which is called the aesthetic standard, and all cosmetic surgeries are performed to achieve this standard. When you meet someone for the first time, your face is the center of attention and is remembered more than any other body part. The chin is one of the most obvious features that affect the overall beauty of the face. A well-shaped and angular chin creates a youthful and healthy appearance.

 Hanging under the chin is called double chin. Double chin is actually the accumulation of fat under the skin and is seen when the lower jaw is open or the person’s head is bent down. Having a double chin makes a person look older, tired and unattractive. In such a situation, the appearance of face generally does not look very good and its beauty is greatly affected. According to Medicinenet, a WebMD affiliate site, you may feel that double chin only occurs when a person is overweight. But the reality is not like that. Sometimes double chin occurs in people who do not have any excess weight and do not have a history of excess weight and weight loss, in such a situation, the factor of heredity is considered. The reasons for creating a double chin are:

• Genetics: Having a family history of double chin.
• Aging: As you age, muscle mass may decrease and lead to wrinkles. The only cause that is most often seen in the elderly is sagging muscles and skin.
• Overweight and obesity: Fat under the chin has a higher accumulation due to weight gain, and people who have a lot of fat in their body have a higher accumulation of fat under the chin and can be treated with some methods.
• Platysma muscles: The soft tissue under the skin of this area and the muscles of the neck due to aging and some surgeries in this area may be associated with sagging and weakening of the skin and muscles, which can help the beauty of the neck.

Double Chin Reduction Methods

Certainly, like all beauty-related issues, regarding the problem of eliminating Double Chin, it is necessary to evaluate the appropriate treatment methods for each person specifically. A trained and experienced plastic surgeon is the best person who can help you in this field and offer you the best solution after evaluating your situation. There are several methods for treating double chin, and the choice of treatment method depends on the surgeon’s discretion and the patient’s condition. In general, double chin removal methods can be classified into two main methods: surgical and non-surgical (non-invasive).

Non-Surgical Methods:

Ultrasound (hypotherapy)

HIFU, or high-intensity focused ultrasound waves, is one of the best and safest ways to remove Double Chin for everyone. The affordability and effective results of this technology have made it highly popular among all people who are looking for a younger and fresher appearance. This method, which can be performed in a doctor’s office or clinic, is suitable for people whose skin has moderate sagging. One of the methods of treatment with ultrasound is Double Chin HIFU, which is a non-surgical and non-invasive method that, within a period of two to three months, causes skin sagging and collagen production in the skin. Although the hyphotherapy method cannot completely replace the surgical method, this method can be very effective and useful in cases of mild skin sagging.

Radiofrequency (ReFirme)

Another non-invasive and non-surgical Double Chin method is the ReFirme method. Based on the fact that heat can cause interactions in the skin and eliminate skin sagging, in this method, radio frequency waves and light energy are used to heat the generating cells in the dermis layer of the skin. This method, which is completely painless, can be very effective in lifting the skin in the area of ​​the jaw lines and removing puffiness and creating a younger appearance. Usually, to achieve the best results, radiofrequency, IPL, and mild laser peeling methods are combined and performed simultaneously during one session.

Cavitation Ultrasound

Cavitation ultrasound devices use high-frequency sound waves to destroy fat cells in the Double Chin area. These waves cause the fat cells to throw out their contents, and then the fat expelled from the cells, which is now a kind of waste material, is absorbed by the body’s lymphatic system, and the lymphatic system circulates these fats in the body until They are broken down by the liver and finally excreted from the body through sweat, urine and feces. The initial results of cavitation can be seen immediately after the treatment session, but the entire treatment process and reaching the final results will take a few days, and during this time, you will see the gradual improvement of your facial shape.

Cryolipolysis

In this treatment, the fat cells of the double chin area are subjected to cold up to three degrees Celsius. As a result, crystals will form inside the fat cells. At the same time as the cells are frozen, they undergo cell death, after which they are destroyed and metabolized. Since fat cells are frozen at a higher temperature than skin and muscle cells, there is no possibility of serious complications in this method. Only fat cells are affected.

Mesotherapy

According to Healthline Media Medical Research Institute in Brighton, England, you can see the breaking of fat tissue in these areas by injecting in the double chin area. Usually, the specialist doctor chooses the type of injectable drug by examining the condition of the double chin to start the injection after anesthetizing the double chin area. In mesotherapy, the doctor usually injects the desired substances under the double chin using a special syringe or fine needles. After two weeks, the fat tissue begins to break down and melt. Usually, with each injection, some of the fat accumulated in the double chin area is lost, and the person can have a normal and beautiful appearance after a period of about six months. Note that the frequency of mesotherapy injections is different for each person and this method is not recommended at all for people with sagging skin in the double chin area.

Tips about Non-Surgical Treatments

  Like many non-invasive or minimally invasive procedures and actions, the above non-surgical methods also have many limitations.

• They are used only when a person has a small double chin.
• They are mostly performed on young people who have good elasticity skin.
• The time to see the result is more than a month.
• Due to its relative simplicity, specialists not related to this field try to do it without sufficient knowledge and skills. Even in many cases, non-doctors who have had a short training course do this work.

Surgical Methods:

Lipomatic

Lipomatic means the removal of fat from the organs of the body and locally. In chin, the fat that has accumulated under the chin is drained and creates a beautiful appearance on the face. By draining the fat from the chin, the person’s neck is seen taller and a younger appearance is created on his face. The chin has a great effect on the human face and makes it look older. Double chin reduction surgery produces incredible results in the shortest possible time. Lipomatic cosmetic surgery is a very good choice for removing fat from this part of the face, and unlike other methods; it has much fewer side effects. Unlike other surgeries, lipomatics do not leave any scar marks and cut the chin in the most natural way possible. In this way, with less time, you will see much better results. This surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure in the sense that it does less damage to the body, is usually performed between the ages of 20 and 50, and skin quality is a key factor in determining whether or not to use the procedure. For example, if the skin has good elasticity and the skin is smooth, liposuction will give a very good result. While if it is done on loose skin, it will leave a fat gap and create a bad appearance.

Laser lipolysis

Using laser thermal energy, it melts excess fat. Since the laser fiber is very thin and can easily melt neck fat, using a very thin tube with a diameter of about 2.5 mm, excess neck fat can be removed. In addition, the generated heat can increase the strength and firmness of the skin and help it shrink. In laser liposuction treatment, in most cases, only a small amount of local anesthesia is used. In this treatment process, only excess fat is removed, in this method excess skin is not removed and skin elasticity will not be increased.

Neck Lift

Loose and sagging neck skin is one of the obvious signs of aging, which is often difficult to treat. Fat under the cheek and double chin make a person look older than they really are. Neck lift is a surgical procedure designed to tighten sagging skin and muscles and remove unwanted fat in the neck. This method helps to make the jawline angled and the neck shapely and creates a younger appearance for the person.

Neck lift surgery can be performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia. This science is usually combined with a face lift, in which case the total surgery time will be 4 to 5 hours. If necessary, another hour will be added to the eyelid surgery. Incisions are made under the chin and around and under the ears. All incisions are made in the skin folds or inside the hair so that they are not recognizable after healing. The neck muscle (platsima) is sewn tightly. The excess skin is also gently stretched and cut. Double chin fat is removed to form a well-cut jawline and neck. The incisions will be closed with small stitches and a cervical compression garment will be placed over the area.

Chin Argumentation

If a person has a chin due to the back and smallness of the chin, wearing chin prosthesis or filler injection in chin area can be a great help in treatment.

Finally, the choice of double chin treatment method depends on the consultation with a specialist surgeon and the examination of the patient’s condition. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the most important and decisive session before double chin reduction surgery is the consultation session. In this meeting, you should share all your expectations from the surgery with the doctor. Be sure to tell your medical history and inform the doctor what form of chin you are interested in and what technique you want to be performed by the doctor for double chin reduction. Usually, a positive interaction with the doctor is the main secret to achieving satisfaction from surgery. When the doctor is aware of your interests, he will help you in the best possible way to achieve satisfaction with your appearance.
