Double Chin Correction

Double chin surgery addresses the accumulation of fat, loose skin, or a recessed jawline beneath the chin. It’s most effective when approached from three angles: fat removal, skin tightening, and structural correction of the chin.

Why does a double chin form?

1. Excess fat under the chin.
   This often results from poor tongue movement and overeating. The tongue’s role is to deliver food to the teeth for proper chewing. When we eat quickly without chewing well, the tongue becomes inactive, weakening the base muscles under it. Fat tends to accumulate where muscles are underused—leading to a double chin. This is why fast eaters are more prone to developing one.

2. Loss of skin elasticity.
   Again, due to weak tongue and swallowing muscles. Chewing activates tongue muscles, and proper swallowing engages submental muscles. If food is swallowed more like a drink, these muscles weaken, and the skin begins to sag. Eating slowly, chewing thoroughly, and avoiding soup or drinks during meals helps train these muscles using only saliva to swallow.

3. Underdeveloped or recessed chin bone.
   The chin bone is the core structure that supports overlying soft tissues. When it's short or retruded, the skin and fat around it lose support and sag easily, creating a double chin. People with weak chin projection or a protruded mouth often experience this more noticeably.

How is a double chin corrected?

If the patient agrees to structural improvement, the best solution is chin advancement surgery (see 675mm). Moving the chin bone forward lifts sagging tissue and smooths fat deposits.

If bone correction isn't desired, options include:

• Chin liposuction to physically remove fat.

• Neck lift surgery to tighten sagging skin.

• Non-surgical treatments like fat-dissolving injections, HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound), RF (radiofrequency), thread lifting, and lipolytic injections.

Although habits can be corrected over time, those wanting quick results may opt for double chin correction procedures.

🌀 Double chin surgery is a rapid correction of chin fat caused by the habit of swallowing food like a drink.
