What Is Double Chin?
Double chin refers to the development of another layer of fat under the chin, which seems like a person has a double chin. It forms due to several factors including aging and obesity being the most common reasons. However, a tailored double chin removal treatment in Dubai can help you get rid of this aesthetically unpleasant look.
What Causes a Double Chin?
While a double chin may seem like a mere fatty tissue deposit, its underlying reasons are generally complex. Common reasons that can cause a double chin are:
- Excess body fat: The accumulation of fat in the chin area can create a lumpy-chin
- Aging: With aging, the skin tends to lose its elasticity and thus people can face
- Bad posture: People who keep their chins close to the chest for longer durations, particularly when reading a book or sitting idol.
- Facial structure: Facial structure such as the shape of cheeks and jaw can play a vital role in developing a double chin.
Are You a Candidate for Double Chin Treatment?
You are a good candidate for double chin treatment if you have puffy or bulky fat on your neck or jawline. Other candidacy criteria for this treatment are as follows:
- You have no life-threatening or chronic conditions that could interfere with the recovery process after the treatment
- You have a healthy body weight
- Your skin is fairly elastic
- You are not taking any blood-thinning medication
Double Chin Removal Treatments
Double chin removal treatment involves reducing submental fullness caused by subcutaneous fat accumulation and, sometimes, excess skin under the chin. This treatment can be performed surgically or non-surgically, depending on the patient’s requirements. Your aesthetician will recommend a treatment option depending on the degree of chin reduction required and a few other factors. Here is a list of the treatments which you could probably consider for your double chain.
Double Chin Reduction Through Liposuction
This chin reduction surgery involves the surgeon inserting a cannula tube into different chin areas. The device behind this cannula uses gentle suction to remove excess fat from those areas, making your facial contours more prominent. Chin liposuction may also be used with other surgical procedures, such as a neck lift.
Ultherapy
Ultherapy, short for ultrasound therapy, is a non-surgical treatment that uses ultrasound waves to melt away stubborn fat and promote collagen production. This combined effect can reduce the loose fat deposit responsible for the double chin and increase skin elasticity in the chin area, giving your face a more youthful appearance.
Lipodissolve
This is comparatively a less-invasive treatment as only fat dissolving injections are injected into the chin area. As a result, you get a well-contoured chin as unwanted fat deposits get dissolved and then eliminated from your body.
Coolsculpting
This non-invasive treatment for the chin doesn’t involve any needles, incisions, or anesthesia. The practitioner uses an applicator against the skin area under the chin during this coolsculpting procedure to administer controlled cooling. As a result, the subcutaneous fat cells there are frozen and destroyed. The body later eliminates these fat cells.
Thread Lifts for Double Chin
Thread lifting is a slightly invasive procedure that can give you a more defined jawline without the need for traditional surgery. The threads used in the procedure are made from surgical-grade material that your body will eventually absorb. During the procedure, your doctor will attach special surgical threads to the skin near your jawline and then gently pull them upward. With this, the skin and underlying fat will get lifted and you will have a more contoured and sculpted chin.
Kybella
Kybella is an injection-based treatment that involves administering prescription medication, usually deoxycholic acid, into the double chin area. This Double chin treatment helps reduce moderate to severe fatty deposits under the chin. You may need multiple treatment sessions to get the desired results from Kybella, though.
While Kybella treatment is non-surgical, it comes with stricter candidacy criteria, which you should discuss with a skilled practitioner.
Post-Treatment Instructions
Some double chin reduction treatments come with the risk of infection. Therefore, doctors generally advise avoiding rubbing the treated area for at least four hours after the treatment. The best way to avoid any side effects after a chin reduction treatment is to consult with a doctor to discuss specific post-treatment instructions.
How Much Does a Double Chin Removal Cost?
The cost of double chin reduction treatment generally depends on the amount of fat deposit in the treatment area and the choice of the procedure. For example, the starting cost of removing a double chin with lipo is AED 5,000. However, injectable treatments can cost less than the mentioned treatment. You can get an accurate price estimate during the initial appointment.
Can the Double Chin Be Removed Permanently?
Yes, you can remove the double chin with the help of any double chin removal treatment that destroys fat cells causing this cosmetic issue.
