Why aren't double chin exercises possible?

Jan 30, 2010

not so sure understand why the opinions of doctors on here is that double chin exercise is not possibel... wouldnt getting thinner and stronger neck muscles tighten and eventually reduce the appearance of the chin fat... So depressed if my double chin is here to stay unless i get surgery! no disrespect to the doctors here!

Hello, The best way to perform this is with 3 incisions, at the ears and submental. This allows you to get to the jowls also. If you are limited to the chin only, the chin incision alone is good enough. Hope this helps answer your question. Dr. Nassif

Having done hundreds of neck liposuctions over the last 21 years in Los Angeles, I have learned that the post-op massaging of the neck is far more important than the neck support or strap. In fact, I ask my patients to only use it for one week, but to massage frequently for at least six weeks.

The best way to fix it is by making an incision in a naturally occuring crease under the chin, then removing extra fat and muscle tissue from the chin. Liposuction alone will not achieve that. Regards

The cost range for liposuction to the chin /neck ranges from $1,900 to $2,800. The cost range depends on the area of liposuction and the patients’ preference of local anesthesia alone or with IV-sedation anesthesia.
