Many patients frequently schedule surgical consultations at my New York City practice asking about how to remove the double chin. Claiming they have lost weight but their double chin is still there and they want to know why their double chin does not go away with weight loss.
The answer really is that the amount of fat that is in this area isn’t comparable to the rest of your body. You lose fat proportionally. So if you lose 10% of the fat in the rest of your body it makes a big difference. If you lose 10% of the fat in your chin it makes no difference at all. So it is just an interesting biological phenomenon.
So, this leads us to the next question. Is there an at home product that can help get rid of a double chin? No. There is nothing short of microsuction that can completely get rid of a double chin. We believe that one simple microsuction procedure can get rid of your double chin forever.
What exactly is Microsuction?
Microsuction alone is among the most popular options in fighting the early signs of aging in New York. It is a procedure that Dr. Imber championed for many years to define the jawline, correct the double chin, and remove other small fat pockets. During this minimally invasive procedure, fine, sterile cannulas are used for the removal of fat at the corners of the mouth, the jawline, hips, abdomen, and double chin. Microsuction irritates the undersurface of the skin and seems to stimulate it to tighten and look better. The sum of all this is that if the fatty accumulations along the jaw and elsewhere are dealt with early by microsuction, not only are they eliminated, but the skin over them tightens and adds to the result.
How long does it take to see the results from microsuction?
During surgery, we instantly see all of the double chin and jowls disappear. For you, it may be different. Even though we put a bandage on you the first night, you’ll experience a little bit of swelling. After 48 hours you will see considerable difference and then 72 hours you’ll see even more improvement in the double chin area. And, after a week, results will look terrific. The downtime for microsuction is negligible. If you do it on a Monday most people can go to work the next day.
