Double Chin

A double chin is a common concern for men and women of all ages, but it can be easily treated with surgical or non-surgical procedures at Paquet Facial Plastic Surgery. Dr. Christian Paquet and his team work to determine the root cause of your double chin so you can enjoy natural-looking and long-lasting results that enhance your appearance and confidence.

What is a Double Chin?

The appearance of a double chin affects the contours of the entire lower face and can make people look heavier or older than they really are. Excess fat can accumulate under the chin as a result of aging or genetics, even in people who live a healthy lifestyle and are at a good weight. Sagging skin or loss of skin elasticity with aging can also contribute to the look of a double chin, so patients may consider a combination of fat reduction and skin tightening treatments. Patients who struggle with unwanted fat and want to achieve more jawline definition can benefit from personalized fat reduction treatments at Paquet Facial Plastic Surgery that address all their concerns.

Treatments for a Double Chin

A double chin can be treated surgically or non-surgically, depending on the amount of excess fat tissue and other concerns that you may want to address.

Kybella Injections

Kybella is an injectable treatment that uses deoxycholic acid to destroy fat cells beneath the chin. This is a naturally occurring substance found in the stomach bile that breaks down dietary fat to be flushed out of the body. Patients may receive up to six treatments spaced several weeks apart, depending on the amount of fat in the treatment area.

Neck Liposuction Procedure

Neck liposuction is a surgical procedure that can get rid of unwanted chin and neck fat. Liposuction only requires a small incision that is carefully placed below the chin, leaving minimal scarring. This can be performed alone or combined with a neck lift for patients who are also concerned with excess skin.

What to Expect from Double Chin Treatments

Non-surgical double chin treatment with Kybella is performed in-office and requires minimal downtime and recovery. Neck liposuction is performed at a surgical center, typically under general anesthesia, especially when combined with a neck lift, but can sometimes be performed with local anesthesia or IV sedation. After treatment, patients may be prescribed pain medication or given a compression garment to reduce swelling and achieve optimal results.

During a comprehensive consultation, Dr. Paquet will help you choose the best treatment option depending on your medical history, desired results, and treatment needs. After double chin treatment, patients can enjoy a more defined jawline and youthful appearance with a smoother contour between the lower face and neck areas. If patients take care to avoid future weight gain, they can enjoy long-lasting results.
