I would like to get rid of my "double chin" but I absolutely cannot have time off from work and showing up there wearing pressure bandage after liposuction is simply impossible.

Are there any options that will allow me to improve the contour under my chin? I am 38, normal weight.

Treatment for double chin

From your photos, I believe you would be a good candidate for a limited liposuction of the chin/neck. To help the skin shrink or retract ultrasound or laser assisted liposuction could also be added. This procedure could be performed under local anesthesia with sedation. If performed on a Friday, you could remove the compression bandage by Monday, so that you would be presentable, when you returned to work. You could then wear the... more

Weekend Necklift is a good option for you

In my opinion, the BEST option for you is a Weekend Necklift. Weekend Necklift is an ideal procedure for the area under the chin and neck, including 'double chin'. The laser assisted 'weekend' necklift represents the evolution of sophisticated facial plastic surgery techniques. These techniques are uniquely combined to achieve improvement in the contour of the chin and neck with minimal incisions and rapid recovery. To achieve a weekend necklift: I... more

Non-Invasive Procedure to Remove Double Chin

Both previous expert posters on correct. More "bang for your buck" with some type of liposuction. I prefer Smart Lipo under local anesthesia. All the other "non invasive" therapies are very limited and unpredictable.

Double chin

Tumescent liposuction is your best option. The bandage is worn 48-72 hours , continuously. After that it is worn evenings only for 2 weeks. Usually , procedure is done on friday, so that by Monday, u can go back to work. It is an in-office procedure, under local anesthesia.

Limited Neck Liposuction For Small Double Chin Has A Quick Recovery

As you have corrently surmised, liposuction is the most effective treatment for a 'fat only' double chin that you have. Non-surgical options are a possibility, such as ultrasound and other heat-generating devices, but their effectiveness is limited and results can be spotty. I have found Lipodissolve injections to be effective but they cause tremendous swelling (double the neck size) for a week after and are worse in social appearance than any liposuction result. My recommendation is... more

Chin/Neck Liposuction?

Thank you for the question and picture. Unfortunate, there are no “non-invasive procedures” that are effective. Your best bet would be to visit with a well experienced board-certified plastic surgeon to determine if liposuction surgery is an option. Best wishes.

Laser liposuction will muscle tightening is a great procedure

Laser liposuction to the chin and neck areas is an excellent option to improve the contour of the neck and jawline. The incisions are small, and the downtime is minimal -- although it would be wise to take at least a few days off as suggested by the previous expert posters (ie., peforming the procedure on a Friday so that you have a few days off before returning to work). I have found that while laser liposuction (whether it be SmartLipo or ProLipo) is, in general, a great... more

Liposuction is the best remedy

You can have chin liposuction on a Friday and return to work on a Monday without a compression dressing. Many of my patients prefer to put the compression bandage back on when they return from work. However it does not need to be worn all day every day and you will heal up nicely either way. Non surgical options in my opinion would be a waste of time and money. You are a great candidate for chin liposuction and should have a wonderful result, with little down time and a quick recovery. Best... more

Laser liposuction chin

I think you would be an excellent candidate for a pure local anesthesia smartlipo chin liposuction procedure. In my office, this procedure takes 10-15 minutes, and we only have our patients wear the compression bandage for three nights. Results have been excellent.
