Double Chin TreatmentPosted by Warner Schwartz on May 29th, 2021 Normal ageing of the skin means you will experience normal sagging of the skin, but the fat pocket will not return. Educate yourself on how fat works in the body so you have a basic understanding of what the procedure is achieving and how to care for your great results over time. Your immediate aftercare is one step your surgeon will go over with you, but taking care of your lovely new profile is the next, and will be ongoing. One of the most important things you can do for your face and neck is to avoid getting sun on your skin in those areas, since the skin is thinner and more easily damaged than other areas of the body. Radiofrequency treatments target fibroblasts, your collagen-producing cells, and stimulates them into action. Generally 3 to 5 treatments in intervals of 6 to 8 weeks can be expected, however less or more may be required. You may be a suitable candidate for injections that can help to reduce these lip filler stubborn pockets of fat that are not easily removed by lifestyle measures. All of our cosmetic treatments are performed by a fully trained and qualified healthcare professional. You will be pleased to know that fat dissolving injections are permanent. Procedure is usually well tolerated, but we usually apply anaesthetic cream to improve patient experience. In aseptic conditions, doctor will inject the fat dissolving medication into your indicated problem areas. The injection dissolves the fat cell membrane not only the fat inside the fat cells and the dead fat cells get cleared by a cleaning cells. As a result, visible improvement in the chin profile can be achieved. Recent studies have shown that more than 75% of patients reported High satisfaction with their contoured chin profile using the Double Chin treatment. Fat deposits in the chin, referred to as ‘double chin’ can be reduced with the injections by breaking down the fat cells. If you have sagging, wrinkled skin on your neck, radiofrequency treatments can dramatically enhance your chin liposuction procedure results. Your surgeon will evaluate your face and neckline, and recommend the best option for results you can both be proud of, and that will last into the future. Most people don’t walk into a cosmetic surgery office and request chin liposuction; instead, they come in unhappy with the lower third of their face. Chin liposuction may be recommended as either a stand-alone treatment or as part of a larger facial sculpting plan. The small incisions used during chin liposuction heal up like any small cut to the skin, and the whole chin and neck area is usually back to normal within several days. Compression garments will need to be worn for several days, as per instructions from your surgeon. The way fat dissolving injections work that they destroy fat cell wall and then your own body clear all the “rubish”, which naturally done by swelling and inflammation. After an hour or so, when the local anaesthetic wears off, it can feel fuller under the chin and you may feel a slight ache. We recommend using panadol and icing the area to reduce the discomfort. Remember not to leave the ice on the skin for more than 10 seconds at a time to reduce the risk of a cold burn. At Cityskin we have spent the past 4 years perfecting our treatment to make it as pain free as possible. The double chin treatment below took under 5 minutes to perform and the patient described a pain level of ‘1/10’ during the injections. During your initial consultation, we will discuss your concerns and determine what combination of treatments is needed to achieve your desired results. We will also discuss the optimal schedule for ongoing touch-up treatments to maintain your results. A number of injections are performed to the area and over the next 6 weeks the fat is broken down and processed naturally by the body. Deoxycholic acid occurs naturally in the body to aid the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. Loss of structure in the jawline with age-related bone loss and soft tissue changes, including increased skin laxity, means there is less ‘scaffolding’ holding up the structures below. This leads to even greater sag of your fat pad underneath your chin due to lack of support. Increased fat deposition with ageing and poor diet adds to the heaviness and development of your Double Chin. But often there is a genetic component and weight loss alone will not eliminate it. Results are seen at 12 weeks, although improvements may be noted as early as 6 weeks. Fat Dissolving injections are a fantastic non-surgical option for treatment of your double chin, providing you with a reliable alternative to liposuction and laser ‘fat freezing’. With a series of injectable treatments, Dr. Jodie can minimise the presence of any fatty tissue under your chin to better define your neck profile and jawline. We know from speaking to our patients that very few want surgery for their double chin with the associated downtime and possible scarring. We have become experienced in the non-surgical option of removing double chins and have improved the technique to include local anaesthetic to make it as pain free as possible. The patient will have a consultation where their face and neck will be evaluated and a history taken to make sure that they are suitable for the treatment. This very popular option for under chin fat removal has recently become available on the Australian market. There are a number of options for removing the sub-mental fat also known as neck fat, chin fat or double chin. A new effective, non surgical and permanent method to remove double chin is the use of fat dissolving injections. The video below shows the swelling that occurred 20 minutes after double chin injections at Cityskin in Melbourne. A synthetic formulation of a substance found naturally occurring in the body is used to break down and absorb fat. When properly injected, the formulation has been shown to dissolve fat that causes a double chin. The result is a more streamlined and improved contour along the jaw line. Multiple fat-dissolving cosmetic injections are administered over four to six weeks.Like it? Share it! More by this author |
