How to Get Rid of a Double Chin with Surgery?  

Essentially, we have many different surgical approaches to the sagging chin. The first is a liposculpture using the Vaser or a superficial chin liposuction method. With these treatments, we can remove almost all the fat from the neck. By removing fat, it induces a tight retraction of the dermis, resulting in skin tightening and elevation. Often, this is all that is required.

In other patients, if there is excessive skin, we could consider a suture lift. During a suture lift, the skin is just sutured to the ear cartilage. Other possibilities are the mini neck and face lift, where the skin is tightened and removed from behind the ear.

Naturally, results depend on the specific problem the patient wants to correct. Therefore, it is always important to discuss your needs with the Dr before surgery commences.
