Sometimes, no matter how hard you work out or how healthy you eat, you can’t quite get rid of your double chin. Oftentimes, submental fat or excess fat under the chin is caused by genetics and won’t go away with natural methods. That’s where Dr. Garcia and his expert medical team step in. Let’s go over some of our most tried and true methods of double chin reduction that can help you get the sharp jawline you desire.
Ultherapy®
Ultherapy® is a non-invasive procedure that can help our patients reduce the appearance of a double-chin. Ultherapy® works by using ultrasound technology to stimulate the body’s natural production of collagen over a period of time. Patients are able to see results in as little as one Ultherapy® treatment, however, we typically recommend patients receive a series of treatments to achieve the contoured jawline they desire.
Platysmaplasty
Platysmaplasty is a surgical cosmetic procedure that tightens the skin and underlying muscles under the chin and around the upper neck. Platysmaplasty is specifically focused on contouring the jawline and creating a sleek under-chin appearance. We often recommend patients receive platysmaplasty in conjunction with liposuction to remove any stubborn pockets of fat that may be contributing to the appearance of the double chin.
Which Double Chin Treatment is Right for Me?
When it comes to choosing the right treatment for you, it really depends on the type of skin and facial muscle the patient has. Every patient is different and needs to be seen in a consultation to see if they are a candidate for these treatments.
