Would tickle lipo be the best for my double chin? (Photos)

Question

Hi there I have a slight double chin, but it might be loose skin instead of fat. Oddly I have a weird abnormality: a massive digastric muscle. When I push my tongue to the roof of my mouth, it bulges out like a frog. I often think the unflexed muscle even creates a bulge. Would tickle lipo be good for me? Or is it advised I actually reduce some of the muscle?

Harry T. Haramis, MD, FACS · Answer

Smart Lipo laser or Vaser ultrasound liposuction address fat and skin of the neck nicely.

As such, the digastric muscles will not be addressed- that would require different procedures.

​An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon is recommended to further discuss your best options and expectations.

Hung William Song, MD · Answer

If the bulge is due to fat, Tickle Lipo, smart Lipo, Vaser Lipo or even manual Lipo would work in reducing the bulge, however, Kybella might be a simpler option for reducing the small amount of fat. However, if the bulge is due to you muscle, liposuction or Kybella will not address the issue. You need to have a qualified surgeon examination you to determine the exact cause of the bulge.

Dear momo3333,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
