How Can I Get Rid of My Double Chin?

Posted on Apr 16, 2020 Body Contouring

Even those who eat the healthiest diet imaginable and hit the gym regularly to maintain excellent physical shape can struggle with excess fat that collects under the chin. The fact is that the development of a “double chin” is an extremely common concern, and while weight fluctuations may play a part, genetic factors can contribute to its appearance, as well. In cases where a double chin is caused by an accumulation of excess, inelastic skin, a surgical procedure is typically the only effective remedy. However, when the condition is caused by excess fat, there are innovative treatment options that can reduce signs of a double chin without the need for surgical intervention.

Here at the Polacek Center for Plastic Surgery, we offer the popular CoolSculpting® procedure to get rid of a double chin. CoolSculpting® is a way to reduce isolated pockets of fat under the chin that requires no needles, anesthesia or invasive surgery of any kind. A special applicator is placed in the targeted area, which will deliver controlled cooling energy into the skin. Essentially, the excess fat cells are cooled to the point of breaking down. Over the next few months, the fat cells naturally filter out of the body, ultimately reducing signs of a double chin and creating a more enhanced profile contour. Two or more treatments are required for all CoolSculpting® procedures.
