Double chin: getting rid of it

Double chin is a mass of subcutaneous fat developed under the jaw. The mix of fine skin and gravity ensures that it will end up sagging more and more until the face loses its tightness. Eventually, this disorder worsens with age and weight gain if not managed.

The double chin has a thin layer of fat, but also a layer firmly situated behind the platysma muscle. Be that as it may, it gives the appearance of an old, aged face and can be hard to treat in a natural way.

A double chin can be caused by a variety of factors:

Your double chin may be genetic in nature and may be passed down to you by other family members. This is the case when you are not overweight, but you still observe the presence of a fatty mass under your jaw. The presence of a double chin is then unavoidable. Fortunately, this hereditary inconvenience may still be fixed.

The most prevalent cause of double chin is weight loss. The first thing you observeis a thinning of your face as you lose weight. However, even after a diet, the double chin will still be there. In that case, only cosmetic surgery will help you get rid of it.

Aging is also one of the reasons of a double chin. The skin loses its elasticity with time and weight variations. Neck skin is especially sensitive to sagging. The fatty mass in your neck is also heavier and increases the size of your double chin.

Double chin: How can you get rid of it?

Liposuction eliminates a double or even a triple chin in one go. If the amount of fat is small, a gentle liposuction procedure is ideally suited to refine the delicate area of the lower face.

There are also medical alternatives available to you to treat a double chin and to get rid of it completely.

Coolsculpting performs just as well as surgery. The doctor can also recommend the Accent Prime method, which incorporates ultrasound and radio frequency, or the ONDA Coolwaves device that emits microwaves. These last two strategies are well suited to people with very little fat and slightly sagging skin.

Accent Prime and ONDA Coolwaves can be done in a stand-alone session or in addition to a coolsculpting session.
