Double Chin When Looking Down - best treatment option? (Photos)

Thank you for your inquiry! By your photos, it looks like you would be a great candidate for submental liposuction. We would love to sit down with you in person and discuss your concerns and your options. Schedule a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to assist you in reaching your goals!

Thanks so much for your question,
If you notice a double chin when looking down, you have several treatment options depending on the cause (fat, skin laxity, or both).
The lipo Removes excess fat under the chin, Provides instant, permanent results and is minimally invasive with short recovery (about a week).

I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.
Respectfully,
Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Dear konakrazy123,

it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would benefit from chin liposuction. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Hello, it does appear that you have an isolated fat pocket in an area of the neck that stands out since the surrounding areas are flat. You also have good skin quality just based on your age. We perform this routinely in the office, it is painless and it takes approximately 10 minutes. See a board certified plastic surgeon. It is very reasonable to expect excellent results! Good luck!

Thanks for your question! You have a tiny bit of a fullness under your chin that I think could be easily addressed with CoolSculpting or Kybella. Surgery would be overkill at this point. Good luck!

Lipo under local would make a world of improvement for you and is so easy to undergo but make sure you get facetite/morpheus at the same time for best results. You are back to work or school in 24 hrs.

As long as there is excess fat to remove, liposuction is the most effective treatment. It's very important to find a surgeon who is passionate about and experienced with this area of the body. We perform this procedure in the office under local anesthesia. Precision Sculpt chin, neck, and jawline liposculpting is achieved through three tiny skin openings. Numbing medication is gently and evenly infused into the excess fat. A laser is passed through the unwanted fat and then it is removed using 3 mm and smaller cannulas. Radiofrequency can be added to promote more tightening but that is likely not needed for you. The procedure takes about 1 hour to complete. A custom foam pad is placed followed by a compression garment. The padding and garment are worn for two days and then at home and at nighttime for the next 5 days. Bruising is usually minimal to none. Pain is typically not an issue. Ibuprofen is more than enough to treat discomfort. Patients usually return to work after a few days.

A double chin in a fit young person can result from various factors, with the primary one being excess fatty tissue beneath the skin. In some cases, additional fatty tissue may exist beneath the muscles in the area, which would require surgical excision instead of liposuction. However, in your case, it appears that the excess fat is located under the skin. A gentle liposuction procedure in that area should suffice to achieve the desired results.

Hello
There may be an impression of fat accumulation in the chin area depending on the position of the head and neck, whether there is fat or not. The situation is the same in your case. In the photos taken from below, a small amount of fat accumulation in the submental area is visible. There is no need for any surgical treatment for this. You might consider a HIFU treatment.

It sounds like you're experiencing submental fullness (fat under the chin), which is common and can occur even in people who are physically fit. The good news is that there are several effective treatment options to address this concern:
1. Kybella: This is an FDA-approved injectable treatment specifically designed to reduce fat under the chin. Kybella works by breaking down fat cells, and after a series of treatments, you should see a noticeable reduction in submental fullness. The treatment is non-invasive and requires little downtime.
2. CoolSculpting: Another non-invasive treatment, CoolSculpting uses cryolipolysis (fat-freezing technology) to target and eliminate fat cells in the chin area. Like Kybella, it may require multiple sessions, but it is effective in treating stubborn pockets of fat.
3. Liposuction: If you're looking for a more permanent and immediate solution, liposuction could be a great option. This procedure involves removing fat directly from the chin area, which can result in a more defined jawline.
Consulting with a skilled provider can help you determine the best option based on your individual needs and goals!
