Looking for ideas to treat my double chin (Photo)

Question

I am 5’9 and 160 lbs, but I always have this double chin. Unsure if it is fat or skin but I would really like advice on how to treat it. It is present mostly when smiling laughing or talking.

Anna Chacon, MD, FAAD · Answer

When considering treatment options for a double chin, it's important to identify whether the issue is primarily due to excess fat, loose skin, or a combination of both. Here are some common treatment options:

Non-Surgical Options:
Kybella: An injectable treatment that dissolves fat cells under the chin. It typically requires multiple sessions.
CoolSculpting: A non-invasive procedure that uses controlled cooling to freeze and eliminate fat cells.
Ultherapy: Uses ultrasound technology to tighten and lift the skin by stimulating collagen production.
Surgical Options:
Liposuction: Removes fat from under the chin and can provide more immediate and dramatic results.
Neck Lift: Addresses both excess skin and fat, providing a more comprehensive solution for a double chin.
Other Considerations:
Weight Management: Maintaining a healthy weight through diet and exercise can help reduce the appearance of a double chin if excess fat is a contributing factor.
Skincare: Using firming creams and practicing good skincare can improve skin elasticity over time.

Consulting with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon can help you determine the best course of action based on your specific needs and goals. They can assess whether the issue is due to fat, skin laxity, or both, and recommend the most appropriate treatment options.

Hi, I’m Lauren, the aesthetic injector here at Colorado Plastic Surgery Center. Kybella is a great option for reducing small to moderate amounts of fat under the chin—it works by permanently dissolving fat cells in the area. I recommend starting with a consultation so a provider can perform a full facial assessment and determine the best treatment plan tailored to your goals.

Based on what I see, you appear to have a bit of exercise resistant fat under your chin. This is also associated with a slightly underprojected chin appearance on profile. Combining a small chin implant, with delicate neck liposuction, may lead to an improved jawline appearance and minimization of your double chin. Thank you for this question, and I hope it's helpful. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

A treatment plan that would work well for you would include a combination of Morpheus 8 and chin/jawline filler. I would recommend doing a minimum of 3 sessions of morpheus 8 which uses a combination of microneedling and radiofrequency to melt fat and contour the lower face. After seeing the peak of the results(usually 3 months post your last Morpheus), utilizing HA fillers in your chin and jawline will give you a finished natural result.

Thank you for your inquiry! You would be a great candidate for Submental Liposuction as that will decrease fullness under your chin. We would love to meet with you in person or virtually for a consultation to help you reach your goals and create a surgical plan for you!

From the profile photo provided, there appears to be a deficit of volume in the chin contributing not only to a lack of harmony between the projections of the nose, lips and chin in profile, but also to the double chin issue about which you are complaining. The use of an appropriately robust HA volumizing filler can not only establish greater harmony in the projections of the areas mentioned above, but will likely contribute to greater straightening and definition of the jawline and hence a reduction in the double chin issue. You would be wise to consult with an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist filler expert and best of luck.

Getting lipo with facetite/morpheus would clean up the jawline and neck really easily and quickly with only 1 day downtime.  Cost is roughly $5000 on special for quality work and sooooo worth it.
