Many factors contribute to the appearance of a double chin. Genetics and aging contribute just as much as weight gain, if not more. This submental fat can even be resistant to diet, exercise, and other weight loss methods.
But just because it’s stubborn doesn’t mean it’s impossible to get rid of. At McGuiness Dermatology & Plastic Surgery, we offer a range of surgical and nonsurgical options for double chin fat reduction in Plano.
Our team wants to remind you that these options only work in tandem with a healthy lifestyle. If your double chin resulted from weight gain, then the best option for you is to eat a nutrient-dense diet and exercise regularly.
Nonsurgical: CoolSculpting Elite
You’ve heard of burning fat, but have you heard of freezing it? As it turns out, fat cells are more susceptible to damage from freezing temperatures than surrounding cells. CoolSculpting Elite targets those fat cells through the process of cryolipolysis, which permanently destroys fat cells. Your body then naturally flushes out the cells through your lymphatic drainage system.
For this double chin treatment, you should notice a 20 to 25% reduction in fat in the submentum area. However, please understand that results appear gradually as the fat cells freeze and die off, so you may not see a slimmer jawline contour immediately.
We recommend combining this treatment with chin filler for a more defined and jawline contour.
Nonsurgical: Emface
Emface works like a noninvasive facelift, tightening the skin, strengthening your facial muscles, and improving skin laxity. By combining radiofrequency (RF) heating and high-intensity facial electrical stimulation (HIFES), it boosts collagen production while giving you a supercharged facial workout. This treatment lifts your skin and improves muscle tone in your face.
Surgical: Liposuction
CoolSculpting and Emface work well to improve lower face definition, but a surgical solution may be recommended for more dramatic results. Liposuction uses a thin tube to suck the excess fat out from your submentum, revealing a slimmer contour. This works best for anyone who would not achieve their desired results from CoolSculpting.
