Double chin liposuction
Excess localized fat or aging skin can sometimes lead to the appearance of a double chin. These disharmonious bulges, resistant to physical exercise and diet, alter the dynamic curves of the face. In some cases, double chins can be treated with a non-invasive technique called Coolsculpting cryolipolysis.
Double chin liposuction, on the other hand, is a surgical procedure. It reshapes the neck, firms and rejuvenates the features.

The curves of the lower face are reshaped and toned, giving patients a more youthful, dynamic appearance.
Preparing for double chin liposuction
Chin liposuction requires two appointments. During your first consultation, the surgeon will review your request and analyze your facial features to recommend a personalized treatment that will meet your expectations.

You will be given a prescription for pain relief after the procedure, and an anesthetic consultation will be arranged if necessary.
