Best Non Surgical Way to Get Rid of Double Chin? Hi everyone! Thanks for reading. There are so many new procedures to get rid of excess fat under the chin I really do not know what is best. I'm 27 and at a healthy weight. I would like the results to be permanent and I definitely do not want to have surgery. Also, if you could recommend some doctors in nj it would be much appreciated. Thanks again!

A: Getting rid of a double chin...

If there is enough fat underneath the chin without loose, saggy skin, then the best option would be laser liposuction. This procedure can be done under local anesthesia and takes about 45 minutes to perform. There is minimal bruising and swelling which should rapidly subside. Recovery is around one week, and a bandage wrap must be worn for that one week to help the skin to tighten. There have not been great long term results with other products that are non invasive, while laser liposuction can result in a great permanent improvement. Make an appointment with a board certified facial plastic or plastic surgeon to discuss your best options.

What Are My Options For Noticeable Jaw Asymmetry? (photo) I have very noticable asymmetry in my jaw. The right side is much larger than the left side, which looks like a large chunk is missing from my face. What would be the best option for me to rectify this?

A: Jaw Augmentation

Hi,

The solution would be a left jaw augmentation. The procedure is done through an incision on the inside of the mouth. It takes about an hour and can be done under local anasthesia with sedation. See link below.

Best,

Dr.S.

The End of my Chin is Very Fleshy and Sticks Out. Is It Possible to Reduce This? It makes my jaw look like it is too far forward but it is just too much fat on the end. My teeth are aligned correctly. Thankyou.

A: Chin Reduction Surgery depends on the actual cause

Many people complain of a "large chin". This may be the result of a prominant jaw bone or prominant soft tissue. The treatment varies siginficantly depending on the cause. If your jaw bone (mandible) is too prominant, then bone reduction surgery can be done. This can be a significant surgery in some cases and requires the expertise of an orthognathic surgeon. If the cause is too much soft tissue, the treatment is easier. It is possible to remvoe some of the fat and soft tissue of the chin through an incision that is hidden in the crease beneath your chin. If you have a normal amount of soft tissue, but it jsut seems to "droop" like a witches chin, then the treatment would be to internally lift the tissue and sometimes even add a small chin implant.
