Double Chin Treatment
The appearance of a secondary area that develops beneath the chin is referred to as a double chin. Double chin is like cellulite and is caused by the presence of fat and loose skin beneath the chin or around the neck. Sometimes in people who diet perfectly or loose bodyweight still, the fleshy fold of skin under the chin never disappears. It gives rounder and full appearance to one's facial profile. There is some genetic predisposition in some people, i.e., the double chin runs in the family, while in others, when they age, the fat accumulates around their chin.
The double chin treatment aims to remove this stubborn fat and tighten the skin below the chin, which helps an individual achieve a perfect jaw line.

The liposuction is performed through a very small 2mm liposuction cannula by making pinhole kind of incisions under the chin and the sides of the jaw angle. The suction pressure is applied, and the fat is extracted. The ultrasonic-assisted liposuction, when used, it results in underlying fat removal as well as skin tightening. The procedure requires a single session and provides permanent results.

This is a non-invasive option for double chin correction. The deoxycholic acid is made up of bile acid that helps in the breakdown of fat and helps in its complete digestion. The same deoxycholic acid is used to remove excess neck fat, the injections are given, and fat breakdown occurs over time. One may need two to three sessions for the same.
