Reasons for the formation of a double chin
A double chin forms for many reasons. Here are some of them:
- Change in body weight. A sharp increase or decrease in weight provokes changes in facial contour, especially in the chin area
- Oral cavity pathologies. The shape and position of the lower part of the face is affected by malocclusion
- Genetics. Some people have a genetic predisposition to developing a double chin
- Constant loads on the neck muscles. Reading and sleeping on a high pillow negatively affect the neck muscles, especially the frontal part. As a result, a double chin is formed
- Physiological changes. Changes in the chin area cause hormonal fluctuations and thyroid problems
In addition, with age, many people experience gravitational ptosis or drooping skin, which also affects the submandibular area.
Technologies for combating double chin:
- Classic liposuction It has been used for a long time and is considered a proven method. A specialized instrument is inserted through small incisions in the ears and jaw to suction out fat cells. Proper intervention ensures minimal risks and excellent results
- Ultrasound It destroys the structure of the fat cell, resulting in the formation of microscopic “bubbles”, which are then easily removed. This method is considered less traumatic and recovery after such an intervention occurs quite quickly.
- Syringe liposuction Ideal for small fat deposits. They are removed using a special syringe
- Laser double chin removal The laser “melts” the fat cells, which are then removed using an aspirator. This technique allows you to achieve long-lasting effects
- Lipomodeling This method, combining liposuction with the use of electric current, stimulates cellular metabolism and improves skin condition.
Indications and contraindications
First of all, the decision to undergo plastic surgery to remove a double chin is based on the patient’s personal desire.
Surgical intervention is also prescribed in the presence of functional disorders - for example, when excess adipose tissue puts pressure on neighboring structures, causing problems with speech, breathing or swallowing.
If there is insufficient amount of fatty tissue in the chin area, surgery is not advisable. This is due to the risk of creating unnatural contours. Also against this background, there is a possibility of other defects occurring after the intervention.
Additional contraindications include medical problems:
- Presence of active infectious processes
- Heart failure
- Uncontrolled diabetes
- Frequent bleeding
In addition, it is worth considering the general stability of the patient's body. If his weight changes frequently, this is also a reason to postpone or even cancel the operation.
Preparation for chin liposuction
Chin liposuction may seem simple, but to achieve the best results, it is important to prepare properly.
Before intervention, be sure to consult a specialist. A certified plastic surgeon will analyze your health, examine your anatomical features and then make recommendations.
Before the procedure, you must undergo urine and blood tests, as well as undergo an ECG and fluorography. If you find any problems, you may need to consult another professional.
Before surgery, you should avoid consuming alcohol and tobacco. It is also recommended to avoid using drugs that affect blood clotting, such as aspirin.
The operation takes from 30 to 60 minutes. The surgeon marks the skin and then uses one of several techniques to eliminate fatty tissue.
After the operation is completed, the puncture sites are treated and covered with sterile adhesives.
Recommendations for care after chin liposuction
The sustainability of the double chin liposuction result depends on postoperative care.
Here are the key points to pay attention to:
Diet. It is not recommended to drink alcohol or smoke during the week after the intervention: this slows down the recovery process and worsens the result.
Banding. The medical bandage promotes uniform distribution of the skin and prevents swelling. In addition, it speeds up the healing process and helps avoid the appearance of bruises.
Combination of procedures. If you are considering other cosmetic surgeries (such as a facelift or tummy tuck), consult with a plastic surgeon first. This is due to the fact that each operation has its own rehabilitation features.
In addition to the above points, it is recommended to conduct regular examinations with your plastic surgeon, who monitors changes. If necessary, the specialist adjusts the result.
