A very common complaint among patients is that they have a “double chin” that does not disappear no matter what they do. A “double chin” is excess fat that has deposited around the neck and chin, creating a bulge of fat in the area that appears to be a second chin. The neck is a particularly difficult area in which to loose fat, and so unless one has undergone extreme weight loss, double chins are tough to get rid of.
Luckily, there are numerous cosmetic procedures that can get rid of those pesky double chins. At The Kole Plastic Surgery Center, Dr. Kole offers a variety of options including a platysmaplasty or cervicoplasty (the alteration of neck muscles and removal of excess fat), liposuction, and facial implants to improve the look of the neck and chin. Dr. Kole will meet with you in a consultation to examine your excess neck and chin fat and will explain in detail the options available.
Neck liposuction is a good option for younger individuals who want to remove fat from the chin but who do not have additional signs of aging or rings on the neck. For patients who are older and are also experiencing signs of aging, a neck lift is probably the post appropriate option, with or without liposuction depending on the bone structure and fat deposits under the skin of the neck. Additionally, some patients benefit from chin implants if they do not have a prominent chin. A chin implant would create a more angular and distinguished look, diminishing the look of a bulge created by skin around the neck.
