Chin surgery & liposuction are often effective for the dreaded double chin
A double chin occurs when your jaw (mandible) is relatively weak compared to the amount of soft tissue under your neck. And a double chin never looks good, you won't see many leading male or female actors with double chins.
Depending on the severity of your problem you may benefit from surgical or non-surgical chin augmentation, to strengthen you jawline. If you have a chin implant surgery, the same incision may be used to remove any extra fat under the neck. In...

Neck liposuction for double chin
Liposuction is usually an amazing, less-invasive alternative to conventional neck lifting. I would advise a consultation for liposuction with or without laser to tighten the neck and jawline.

Getting rid of a double chin
There are a variety of ways to treat a double chin. A consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon will allow you to receive individualized recommendations based on your specific anatomy. To me, the best procedure to get rid of a double chin is a neck lift that usually involves tightening the skin and muscles and removing some of the fatty tissue in the area with liposuction. This procedure may or may not be combined with a facelift to give nice all-round improvement. again, a...

Treatment for a double chin
A saggy, fatty "gobble neck" can add more years to a face than a whole head of gray hair. The neck lift is an easy way to reduce jowls, eliminate a double chin, slim the bands of muscle that form the wattle, and tighten neck skin. Typically, a sugeon will also decide to perform a lipectomy, suctioning out fat in order to resculpt the area. She or he may also insert a chin implant to create even more definition. A lipectomy is performed through an incision less than a centimeter...

Treatment options for a double chin
Liposuction, neck lifts, and facelifts are the three basic ways to treat a double chin. Sometimes a chin implant is also a possibility. The choice depends on your skin elasticity which is usually closely related to your age. If your skin will shrink, a liposuction or neck lift procedure can be done but if your skin is lax, you need it removed as in a facelift.

Double Chin - treatment depends on age
The treatment for a double chin often depends on your age (as the elastic properties of skin are age related). Here are some of the typical options. As you get older or have poor skin quality, you move down the list:
Neck liposuction - if your double chin is strictly related to a fatty neck and your skin is elastic, just removing the fat can fix the problem
Neck lipo with chin implant - the chin implant is only indicated if you have a "weak" chin. If you happen to have a...

The best procedure for a double chin might be two procedures
The best procedure for a double chin might be two procedures. Often a double chin appearance is created by a small chin as well as excessive fatty tissue in the immediate submental area (the area below the chin in the neck). The best treatment is to remove the excess fatty tissue in that area and strengthen the chin line which will give a better neck and jaw profile. If you are over the age of 45, sometimes a necklifting procedure may also be required for excess skin and sagging, but...

Neck liposuction can help improve the appearance of your double chin.
You should consult a board-certified facial plastic surgeon to discuss which surgical options would be best for you. Neck liposuction works well in younger patients with a strong chin. Sometimes a Chin Implant is needed to improve your appearance. And depending on your age, sometimes a formal neck-lift procedure is necessary.
I hope this is helpful, and best regards.

The proper procedure or solution to a double chin
The chin is a complex area that requires evaluation of the bone (mandible), muscle, fat, and skin. Determining the proper procedure for your specifically requires an assesment of these anatomic structures. Ultimately, the best procedure may require management of one or all of these components to achieve the best result. Best of luck in your decision.
