Double chin
In the era of selfies and social media, the natural harmonious contour of the face is a modern requirement.
A double chin is one of the features that add "weight" to the face and years to the overall image of women and men.
What is the Double Chin?
The double chin is an extra fat layer that is created under the chin.
The lower part of the face, chin, jaw and neck, is considered particularly vulnerable to gravity, the effects of time and weight fluctuations.
Appearance Factors
Although it is linked to weight gain, double chin is not only due to this.
There are more factors involved, such as:
- Genetic, that is, if someone from your family has had it, it is very likely that you will too.
- Age, as over time the skin loses its elasticity, which can contribute to the creation of a double chin.
- Poor posture can be responsible for a double chin.
How does the Double Chin go away?
Whatever the cause of the double chin is, it is certain that can be corrected.
The options are many. Depending on the extent of the problem and the presence of relaxation in the area, the plastic surgeon, after assessing the situation, may suggest lipolysis, by injection or by laser, with the aim of breaking up the fat cells or liposuction, which acts targeted to the area in need by removing the fat with a small incision under the skin and sculpting the contour of the chin and neck.
The face-neck lift is an ideal solution if there is also relaxation and it is extensive in the area.
Frequent Questions
Having a double chin could it be a concern for my health?
No, the double chin does not indicate any risk to your health.
If I lose weight will my double chin be improved?
Losing weight can improve the situation but is not certain to make your double chin go away.
Does double chin appear only in old age?
This is a false impression, as the appearance of a double chin is directly related to our genes which may "predict" the formation of a double chin either at a young or at an advanced age.
