Double Chin Removal – An Overview

The famous phrase “beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder” can be expressed explicitly when trying to deal with the self-image and self-consciousness of a person. While most people would rather like to see a well-run face when they stare at the mirror, others do not like what they see when they discover that their chins are overweight seemed somewhat sagging. A double chin is formed. Double chin is also known as submental fullness. Double chins are bulgy fat deposits that accumulate under the chining neck region.

Causes of double chin

A double chin could arise as a result of the following:

• Excess fat: Gaining weight accumulates a lot of fat in the body; for some people, it includes the face and the jaw.
• Poor posture: The platysma tissue which connects the neck to the chin is mostly affected when we put more pressure than normal on it due to bad posture, especially when we crane our necks to look at something. It weakens the muscle and causes a reduction in elasticity around the jaws and the sagging effect of the chin.
• Food intake and workouts: When we do not maintain a proper diet and body exercise, we allow the fat to be stored in our body excessively without burning out; these excessive fats can accumulate anywhere on our body, including the face, which could lead to a double chin.
• Aging: Aging brings a lot of changes to the human body; when we age, we tend to lose more muscle, which pronounces the effect of sagging in the face, which could also cause an extra fat deposit below the chin.

Other causes include facial structure, hereditary conditions, skincare, and anatomy.

Double chin Treatment

Double chins can be treated surgically and non-surgically. The surgical treatment includes chin liposuction, submentoplasty, and neck lift, all performed by plastic surgeons. The non-surgical treatment includes the FDA-approved Kybella and Coolsculpting. CoolSculpting is a non-invasive and non-surgical medical procedure that extracts excess fat cells under the skin. A recent development is the creation of CoolMini.

Removal of double chin – other traditional methods used

1) Facial exercises: Appropriate Facial Exercises can help in eliminating a double chin. One of the exercises is the straight jaw jut; the process is as follows:

1. Slant your head back and look upwards
2. Jut the lower lip in a manner that stretches the chin
3. Hold the position for a ten count.
4. Relax the jaw and return your head in place.

The challenge here is that many people either do not have time or lack the tenacity to keep up with this.

2) Diet: This was the first approach by many people. It results in wasted efforts as the diet has a little role as a causal factor of submental fullness. Double chin could be hereditary due to bad posture, loss of elasticity, and aging. Also, if the diet is not strictly followed, it might result in a bad situation.

3) Surgical operation: This can be invasive and creates unwanted risks, even if it’s a minor surgery.

Double chin removal –Cool sculpting by CoolMini™ Vs. Kybella treatment

The FDA approved two widely accepted approaches recently to reduce chin fat. The two novel methods (Kybella treatment and cool sculpting by CoolMini™) provide a wonderful opportunity for patients who would not prefer liposuction plastic surgery to shrink chin fat.

Double chin removal – Kybella treatment

Kybella uses multiple Deoxycholic acid injections, specifically in the stockpile of fats in the chin region. The acid will cause the breakdown of excessive fats. These unwanted fats will later be reabsorbed into the body.

Treatment occurs in sessions that usually last for about 3-5 months. Each session lasts for about 15-20 minutes. A waiting period of about 30 days usually separates each session and another for the injection to achieve maximum therapy.

Double chin removal – CoolMini treatment

Zeltiq invented this revolutionary procedure. CoolMini applicator device has a similar working principle with cool sculpting. It is effective for fat reduction in small lateral areas on the chin.

Double chin removal (CoolMini™) – How it works

Numb the affected area (double chin) with the device. The CoolMini applicator stick ensures that fats are removed from the body naturally. It freezes the fat cells until they rupture and are metabolized out of the body leading to a reduction of fat deposits on the target area. Treatment sessions last for about one hour.

Removal of double chin – Is CoolMini a better way?

CoolMini is a clinical device designed for Cryolipolysis, a non-invasive method for removing excess fat and unwanted double chin through the subcutaneous application of cold. This is applied below the jaw for chin fat eradication. The aesthetic demands of patients who need an improved chin profile that does not involve plastic surgery has been addressed by CoolMini treatment.

Uses of CoolMini

• It treats excess submental fat and the jawline (submandibular).

Double chin removal (CoolMini™) – An advancement over other conventional methods for fat reduction

• Easy to use: Cool sculpturing by CoolMini presents a less complicated and easy method of reducing chin fat.
• Safe and time effective: CoolMini treatment works faster, and results can be seen without incurring incisions and cuts, as in the case of plastic surgery.
• High result index: The result is relatively high compared to other methods. About 20% fat reduction is achieved after two sessions.
• Less discomfort: Less pain is experienced by the user because it doesn’t require any injection or needle. Rather, the CoolMini treatment, as the name implies, makes use of cold temperatures to disintegrate fat cells.
• Less complicated, no downtime: In double chin removal using the CoolMini device, the patient does not need to go through any recovery downtime like other methods, as he/she is free to go about his normal activities.

Double chin removal (CoolMini™) – what is the treatment fee?

The price tag for double chin removal (CoolMini) depends on several factors, and they include:

• Number of sessions attended
• Size of area to be treated
• Shape and size of necks
• location

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons states that the average cost of treatment using the CoolMini device ranges from $1500 to $2000 per session.

Double chin removal (CoolMini™) – efficient and safe for everybody

Double chin removal (CoolMini™) is meant for everyone. It is not restricted to women alone. Submental fullness also occurs in men. It could occur in children who have a family history of the ailment.
