Why I Recommend Liposuction to Help Treat the “Double Chin”

The appearance of a “double chin” is an all too familiar aesthetic concern for many adults. Over the years, it’s natural for submental fat to begin to accumulate in your neck and lower face, impacting your overall appearance. This excess fat can be virtually impossible to shed with just healthy lifestyle habits like diet and exercise. This is why cosmetic procedures to treat the double chin are so consistently in-demand.

I hear from many patients who are not sure whether they should have this fat removed surgically with liposuction or if they would be better off pursuing a non-surgical fat reduction treatment. And while non-surgical treatments can have their advantages in some instances, for me there is no substitute for liposuction if you are concerned with effectively removing fat from this area. That’s because liposuction eliminates the need for additional treatment sessions or follow-ups following the initial procedure.

In the video below, I discuss how liposuction can help patients safely remove this unwanted fat and why I typically recommend it over non-surgical fat reduction alternatives:

For patients who are good candidates for this procedure, rejuvenating the neck contour with liposuction can significantly improve their overall appearance and self-esteem.
