What treatment for a double chin?

From what is the second chin formed?

As we age, the skin loses its firmness and elasticity. Elastic, collagen and reticulin fibers of the dermis and subcutaneous tissue no longer function as they should. Fat pads are also disappearing. In addition, the force of gravity acting on us causes the outline of the facial oval to deteriorate. Structural wrinkles appear (more visible than facial wrinkles), in addition to which it is not uncommon for the second chin to reveal itself, which is a considerable aesthetic problem for many people.

Using firming creams and lifting cosmetics improves the condition and appearance of the skin, but will not help get rid of the second chin quickly. Hence, it is advisable to talk to an aesthetic doctor or a plastic surgeon. Among the most popular and commonly used methods of removing the second chin are chin liposuction and facelift and neck lift.

What does chin liposuction involve?

During chin liposuction, small incisions are made in barely visible areas of the skin, through which a probe is inserted to inject fatty tissue with a specialized fluid. 

Liposuction is a minimally invasive surgical method that has been used for more than 30 years. Recovery from this safe, one-time procedure takes about 2-3 weeks. It is then necessary to wear a special chin brace, which reduces swelling and allows the subcutaneous tissue to heal properly. It is important not to expose the skin to UV rays after liposuction.

Why get a face and neck lift?

A facelift is a surgical procedure that lifts the cheeks by tightening the SMAS(superficial musculo aponeurotic system) fascia, a non-stretchable structure that supports the facial muscles, and cutting away excess skin. The effect of the procedure is immediate and permanent, so there is no need to repeat it. It also does not cause loss of natural facial expressions, so it is often a comprehensive response to patients' needs.

Face and neck lifts are performed under general anesthesia. Recovery takes several weeks, during which heavy lifting and sunbathing should be avoided. After the procedure, the face may be bruised and swollen for a few days, but these symptoms gradually disappear. However, it is better to plan a vacation of several days to rest comfortably at home after the procedure.
