How to Get Rid of a Double Chin

Dr. Timothy Fee and our highly qualified and experienced medical professionals can reduce or eliminate the appearance of a double chin.  Sagging neck fat or tissue can be an unsightly embarrassment. Modern surgical techniques can help re-contour this area of the body and promote tighter results. New technology and techniques have improved these methods to “lift” tissue under the chin and on the front of the neck, and these procedures have become quicker, more precise, and less painful.

There are two major choices for getting rid of a double chin — one is laser liposuction, where doctors use a small cannula to remove neck fat from the body. Another is a neck lift, which surgically tightens the neck area. Both of these are considered viable plastic surgery procedures for taking care of excess tissue under the chin.

These two procedures are fundamentally different — in modern laser liposuction, applied heat can cause the skin to tighten, which helps firm up the neck area. A neck lift is more of a manual procedure, but often achieves similar results in taking care of a double chin.

Double Chin Removal Recovery

While some newer types of less invasive procedures are still being researched, laser liposuction and neck lifts are the two traditional and established choices for changing this area of the body and getting a firmer, tighter neck area below the chin.

After the surgery, patients can see some bruising and swelling. Patients may need to be on some pain medication for a few days after the procedure. Bruising should go down within two weeks of the procedure.

Before signing up for any procedure or treatment, make sure you are dealing with a qualified and skilled medical practitioner. Ask doctors about any drugs that you are taking to minimize the chances of a negative drug interactions. Also, be sure to tell doctors and nurses about any allergies that you may have.
