How to Effectively Reduce My Double Chin?

Each person’s body has preferred locations for fat storage. While these can range from the abdomen to the calves, many of us store some of this unwelcome fat under our chins. A double chin can make your lower face and neck look thicker and heavier, affecting your confidence. Fortunately, you can get rid of this fat and achieve a sculpted neckline. 

Why Do I Have a Double Chin?

Unlike an increase in overall body fat, a double chin is not always the result of weight gain. In many cases, the tendency to store fat under your chin is inherited, with double chins often running in families. The appearance of submental (under the chin) fat can become more noticeable as your neck skin and jowls droop more with age. 

How to Effectively Reduce My Double Chin

The best way to eliminate your double chin depends on whether your problem is primarily submental fat or whether you also have concerns about loose skin, neck bands, and other signs of aging. 

Neck Liposuction:

If you have a double chin but not much loose skin, neck liposuction may be the best solution for you. Dr. Lanfranchi performs a precise form of liposuction called liposculpture that shapes and contours your neck and jawline while removing fat. 

If you have good skin elasticity, your skin will tighten after fat removal, giving you a more shapely neck. However, this process will not improve your jowls or lower face. Neck liposuction can be performed as part of a neck lift. 

TLC Lift™ Lower Face and Neck Lift

If you have a double chin combined with sagging skin, jowls, and drooping in your lower face, you might benefit more from a TLC Lift™. This customized combination of a neck and lower facelift can also use neck liposuction. This procedure is ideal for addressing a double chin accompanied by signs of aging.

What is Recovery Like After Neck Liposuction?

Because all procedures at the Lanfranchi Center use local anesthesia, you will be alert and aware after your procedure. Dr. Lanfranchi and his team will provide detailed aftercare instructions. 

People who have neck liposuction can often return to low-activity jobs in as little as three days. If you have a TLC Lift™, you can expect about five to ten days before returning. You will enjoy the support and guidance of your team throughout your recovery. 

Am I a Good Candidate for Double Chin Reduction?

As long as you do not have any health problems that would affect your procedure, you are most likely a good candidate to get rid of your double chin. Candidates should have reasonable expectations and plan to take the appropriate amount of time to recover. A consultation is the best way to find out more about your options.
