The neck contour is critical in the overall aesthetic of the profile. Excess fatty tissue underneath the neck often gives the appearance of a double chin. This can be hereditary and resistant to diet or exercise.
Excess submental fat can lower one’s self-image and make one feel self-conscious when looking in the mirror or posing in photographs. Submental liposuction is a procedure to help remove the excess fatty tissue beneath the chin, restoring a more elegant, natural neck contour. Submental liposuction can be performed in conjunction with a neck lift or on its own. During the procedure, fat is vacuumed out of the body through a slender tube known as a cannula. In some cases, laser heat may also be applied to help stimulate collagen regrowth and tighten the surrounding skin. Kybella can be a great nonsurgical option for double chin reduction.
The neck liposuction procedure is an outpatient procedure. This can be done either under local or general anesthesia. Small incisions are made underneath the chin to access the fat.
