Causes of Double Chin


Double chin is the accumulation of excess fat tissue in the chin and neck area. Sagging of this fat creates the illusion of having two chins. The primary factor leading to the appearance of a double chin is genetics: it depends on our parents whether we will have a double chin, so it can occur even in very thin people. Another important factor is excess weight.

The appearance of jowls and sagging cheeks leads to a change in the contour of the face, and this is one of the main signs of aging. You can smooth out all the wrinkles, bring the skin to its ideal condition, but the shape of the face will definitely reveal your age.

How to remove double chin and jowls

There is a huge number of non-surgical, low efficiency and temporary methods of reduction of a double chin. Every time patients tell similar stories of undergoing 10 ultrasonic cavitation sessions, 10 cryodestruction sessions, doing physical exercises and massage of chin and having spent a lot of money and yet seeing no effect. The main idea of such methods is theoretical destruction of fatty cells by physical methods through skin, however in reality nothing happens. Or it can be stimulation of muscles of frontal surface of skin (massage, physical procedures, inunction, electrical stimulation, etc.)

There is a small effect while muscles are in tonus, however in two weeks with no procedures everything returns to the initial stage. The reason is that the fatty layer itself and the number of fatty cells remain unchanged as damaging the membrane of a fatty cell is rather difficult. This requires direct subcutaneous physical (tumescent liposuction, laser or ultrasonic liposuction) or chemical (deoxycholic acid, aqualyx) impact. The key word here is subcutaneous impact which implies the use of a conductor such as a needle or a cannula straight on subcutaneous fatty tissue.

Tumescent Chin and Neck Liposuction, Youth Angle Formation

The most effective and minimally invasive procedure for sculptural transformation is the tumescent micro liposuction of the chin, cheeks, jowls, and neck using a syringe. Chin and neck liposuction is a plastic surgery procedure aimed at removing excess fat tissue in the chin and neck areas. This is an ideal method for eliminating the double chin, which allows for a clear facial contour and the formation of the desired "angle of youth."

The procedure is so minimally invasive that patients can return to work the next day. Unlike laser or ultrasound liposuction, it does not lead to complications such as the formation of subcutaneous scars (beautifully termed "new collagen") and burns. There are no scars, not even visible traces, as the procedure is performed through micro-punctures (not incisions) using atraumatic cannulas.

How the Liposuction Procedure Works

In most cases, syringe tumescent micro liposuction is performed under general anesthesia (intravenous with Propofol), but local anesthesia is also an option.

Stages of the procedure:

  1. Through atraumatic cannula punctures into the area of excess fat, Klein's solution is preliminarily injected, consisting of saline, anesthetic, and adrenaline. It is evenly distributed in the tissues, causing strong constriction of blood vessels, capillaries, and swelling of adipocytes, making the aspiration process much easier.

  2. After that, the doctor inserts a syringe into the area of fat accumulation and, using the plunger, extracts it. The doctor strictly controls every milliliter of fat using thin cannulas, allowing for maximum precision in sculpting, which is not achievable with mechanical methods.

This is a meticulous and minimally invasive procedure that requires precision craftsmanship. The tumescent syringe method has a short rehabilitation period, and bruises and swelling are absent or subside rapidly.

Tumescent liposuction of the chin and neck is exactly the procedure that every other woman should do. The sooner you decide, the better the result you will achieve. It is the best solution for shaping a beautiful chin line and facial contour. If you notice the appearance of a double chin or jowls, do not waste time! The younger the skin, the better its elasticity, and the better the lifting effect without sagging.

Liposuction or Lipolytics (Aqualyx)?

Aqualyx is probably the best of the lipolytics, and I have extensive experience using them. Several years ago, I trained specialists in working with Aqualyx. For a specialist who does not have the opportunity and skills for liposuction, Aqualyx is an option. But it significantly loses out in all respects to tumescent liposuction:
1 Probability of complications: Aqualyx has a higher risk because it is injected with a sharp-tipped cannula that can easily go deeper and damage important structures. In tumescent liposuction, a blunt-tipped cannula is used, which, when it encounters large vessels or nerves, simply pushes them aside rather than piercing them like the Aqualyx cannula.
2 Quality: With liposuction, I can work in areas with thick fat layers as well as in areas with thin subcutaneous tissue, which is prohibited for Aqualyx due to the risk of superficial necrosis. Therefore, tumescent liposuction allows me to work over a larger area, at any depth, and with any amount of fat.
3 Rehabilitation: With tumescent liposuction, both swelling and bruising are significantly reduced or absent. Aqualyx destroys fat by causing it to swell and rupturing fat cells, resulting in swelling. Additionally, the fragmented fat cells remain in the tissues, causing additional inflammation and swelling.
4 Degree of effect: It is simply incomparable. Tumescent liposuction allows you to remove as much fat as necessary, all at once if needed. Lipolytics, on the other hand, need to be injected multiple times, requiring rehabilitation each time. Moreover, the thinning of the fat layer is very minimal or absent altogether.
5 Pain: Tumescent liposuction uses a saline solution with an anesthetic, which is injected into the subcutaneous layer with or without anesthesia. Aqualyx, even when diluted with lidocaine, is much more painful.

Rehabilitation

Visible rehabilitation takes about 14 days

  • Stay in the hospital: 1 day

  • Pain sensations: moderate discomfort in the area of punctures for 2-3 days after the surgery

  • Compression bandage: mandatory wearing at night for up to 14 days

  • Bruising and hematomas: small and subside by day 5-10

  • Swelling: subsides by the end of the 3rd week

  • Return to work: possible after 3 days

  • Result: Initial results are noticeable already within a month. With each month, the result intensifies. The final result is evaluated after 6 months

Removal of buccal fat pads

Removal of buccal fat pads gains huge popularity in esthetic medicine. Buccal fat pads are located between chewing and cheek muscles and form an additional volume of lower part of the face. This surgery gives an opportunity to get rid of expressed roundness of cheeks and make more expressive and fine outlines to facial oval and especially its lower areas.

Surgery of reduction of cheeks takes place under local anesthesia. All manipulations are done on internal side of a cheek therefore there is no reason to fear scars on the face. Buccal fat pads are removed via small incision followed by application of sutures.

Buccal fat pads have an interesting specificity: they substantially reduce on their own over age. Therefore, removal of buccal fat pads after the age of 35 is not feasible as this adds more age. In the age after 35 it is feasible to reduce jowls (are located below buccal fat pads).

Getting rid of the double chin, reducing cheeks, and removing jowls, as well as highlighting the angles of youth (Jolie angles) nowadays is not a problem! The effect is visible immediately after the procedure and continues to improve over the first few months.
