Double chin

A double chin, often combined with loss of skin firmness in the face and neck, is a common problem for people over the age of 45. Localized chin obesity distorts facial features causing one to look older and less attractive.

Some people who develop a second chin are helped by implementing a balanced diet and regular physical activity. However, in many cases, despite weight loss, the double chin is still visible. In such cases it is worth reaching for aesthetic medicine procedures, which effectively eliminate excess fatty tissue in the chin area

Why does a double chin form?

A double chin occurs when a layer of fat accumulates in the chin area. Most often, extra fat accumulates in overweight people, but it can also appear in slim people who are genetically predisposed to it. A double chin is sometimes a sign of aging in the skin.

How to remove the second chin?

If the cause of double chin is genetic, proper face and neck exercises can help. In case the double chin is related to overweight body, it is worth to change the diet and lifestyle first to remove the excess weight. If exercise and diet do not produce results, then your aesthetic physician may recommend treatments to eliminate excess chin fat.

The most popular second chin removal procedures include liposuction, which suctions out excess fat in the chin area, and injection lipolysis, a minimally invasive procedure that involves the injection of deoxycholic acid to dissolve excess fat. Both methods effectively remove excess fat from the chin area and slim the face. The procedures should be performed by an experienced aesthetic physician to minimize side effects such as swelling, bruising or redness at the treatment site.

Removal of the second chin in the Zakrzewscy Clinic of Aesthetic Medicine and Dermatology

At the Clinic, we offer our Patients comprehensive treatments that halt and reverse the adverse facial changes associated with skin aging. Regardless of the cause of the appearance of a double chin we are able to effectively remove it, as well as restore skin firmness and elasticity in the chin area.

Depending on the severity of the lesions on the face and neck, we offer Patients:

  1. Onda and LPG Alliance Endermology. A combination therapy that effectively reduces excess fat from the chin area and restores firmness and elasticity to the skin.
  2. Thermolifting, or skin firming using an innovative fractional laser Alma Pixel Co2. The laser light heats up the skin stimulating fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin. As a result, the skin gains firmness and elasticity, and the oval of the face clearly lifts.
  3. HIFU lifting – non-invasive treatment that effectively firms and smooths the skin. The ultrasound wave reaches the deeper layers of the skin initiating the process of thermal coagulation. Immediately after the treatment the skin is smooth, firm and visibly rejuvenated.
  4. LPG Alliance Endermolift  – treatment that naturally stimulates fibroblasts in the dermis to increased collagen production. As a result, the density of the skin and its firmness is significantly increased.
  5. STORZ Medical Acoustic Wave – a treatment that uses acoustic and vibrational waves to give the skin the desired elasticity and resilience.

In Zakrzewscy Clinic Patients can also benefit from firming treatments for other parts of the body:
