One of the primary causes is excess fat in the chin and neck area, which is commonly associated with weight gain or obesity. Genetics also play a significant role in the development of a double chin. Aging and loss of skin elasticity can also contribute to the appearance of a double chin. Medical conditions such as hypothyroidism, chronic sinusitis, and kidney disorders can also cause swelling in the neck and face, leading to the appearance of a double chin. In some cases, a double chin may be a side effect of certain medications such as prednisone. Fortunately, there are several effective treatments available to help reduce or eliminate a double chin, such as CoolSculpting, Kybella injections, and liposuction.
The best way to prevent a double chin is to maintain a healthy weight through a balanced diet and regular exercise. Weight gain is a common cause of double chins, so keeping your weight in check can help prevent excess fat from accumulating under your chin.
Another way to prevent a double chin is to practice good posture. Keeping your head up and your neck straight can help tone the muscles in your neck and prevent sagging skin. Additionally, avoiding excessive alcohol consumption and smoking can help prevent skin damage and premature aging, which can contribute to the development of a double chin.
If you are already experiencing the beginning signs of a double chin, there are a number of non-surgical treatments that can help. These include injectable treatments like Kybella, which can break down and dissolve excess fat under the chin. Minimally invasive liposuction under local anesthesia is another simple option to get rid of a double chin in one session.
One of the most popular and effective procedures for removing a double chin is Kybella. Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that targets and dissolves fat cells under the chin. It contains a naturally occurring substance that aids in the breakdown and absorption of fat in the treated area. Kybella requires multiple treatments to achieve optimal results. The New York Cosmetic, Skin & Laser Surgery Center was one of the first clinical study sites for Kybella. We have published scientific articles about Kybella. We were also among the first practices in the country to use Kybella for non surgical lipoma removal.
Another non-surgical option is CoolSculpting, which uses controlled cooling to freeze and eliminate fat cells under the chin. This procedure can reduce the appearance of a double chin by up to 25% in one treatment session.
Depending on the amount of fat in the area, you may be a good candidate for liposuction to contour the neck and chin. Dr. Rokhsar is an expert in liposuction and has successfully performed the procedure on hundreds of patients with phenomenal results. Liposuction is performed in our accredited operating room in the Garden City office. It is done under local anesthesia and the recovery period is approximately 5-7 days during which you will need to wear a compression garment to ensure proper healing. We highly recommend you schedule a consultation with Dr. Cameron Rokhsar, a double-board-certified Dermatologist and Dermatologic Surgeon, who can advise you on which procedure is best for you.
