In 2002, I asked my Dr. about my one-sided double chin and he referred me to a neurologist. The neurologist said that I likely had nerve damage that was likely from a swollen gland in childhood. Several of my neck muscles are apparently not connected to the nerves and other supporting muscles are doing the work, giving me an asymetrical chin and neckline. Would an electrical-stimulation device would allow me to exercise my atrophied neck muscles? Would liposuction improve my appearance?

Answer: Injection Treatments for Chin Fat Kybella is an FDA- approved treatment for treating chin fat. Sagging skin and muscle atrophy would not be affected but Kybella can help contour the asymmetry when subcutaneous fat is evident. Often 2 or 3 treatments are needed to completely contour the chin and remove the unwanted fat. A skillfully trained provider can determine if you are a candidate for Kybella vs other surgical neck procedures.#Kybellainjections #doublechin #fattreatments

Answer: Muscle Laxity or Gland Descent or Both
If this is due to muscle laxity or gland descent, this can be improved with a neck lift type of procedure. The MRI should have determined if there was a mass or increased size of salivary gland. Liposuction will not help to any great degree. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
