AirSculpting Or Chin Liposuction? Examining 3 Ways to Get Rid of a Double Chin

Why You Have A Double Chin

There are several reasons why people develop a double chin between the neck and jaw, and not all of them are related to weight gain, although that can also contribute.

Other possible causes include inheriting the tendency from your parents, poor posture, which causes the supporting muscles of the neck to weaken over time, and simply aging, which can cause the skin to lose its elasticity. Whatever the cause, you need a solution now. You can try several exercises to strengthen this area and reduce submental fat, as well as cardio to lose fat overall. If these at-home steps do not work, you should talk with a qualified plastic surgeon about possible solutions. Here are some options, suitable for both those trying to lose a double chin at home and those considering cosmetic procedures.

Exercises to Get Rid of a Double Chin​

If you want to get rid of a double chin on your own, facial exercises can help to some extent. Strengthening your neck, jaw, and local connective tissue can help reduce submental flab. One chin exercise takes just a few minutes a day, which will help define the facial muscles and give the jawline a firmer structure. Here are the steps:

1. Look up at the ceiling with your head tilted all the way back.
2. Press your lips together as if kissing the ceiling, and stretch the area under your chin.
3. Stop pursing your lips and return your head to its normal position.

If you have excess fat in the chin area, these types of exercises will garner few results if you do not combine them with cardio. To lose fat, one must be in a caloric deficit, which is made easier by engaging in exercises like running, biking, and swimming.

Surgical Fat Removal With Liposuction

Liposuction may be the right choice if you want to remove the fat cells that cause a double chin all at once. Liposuction for the double chin physically removes fat from the chin and can also be used to reshape the jawline and slightly reduce the chin size, if necessary. It is an outpatient procedure that can be performed under general anesthesia or, for the right patient, under local anesthesia. Although chin liposuction is a relatively simple procedure with minimal downtime and few complications, patients should seek a plastic surgeon with specialized medical training.

What Is the Best Way to Get Rid of a Double Chin​?

Patients who want to obtain results that are as significant as with traditional liposuction, but do not want to deal with the risks associated with invasive surgery, should opt for Chin AirSculpt®.

Chin AirSculpt® uses patented technology to remove fat from the chin and neck region without the use of scalpels, stitches, or general anesthesia. The same amount of fat can be permanently eliminated as with chin liposuction; though, the results are far more precise, entry points are smaller in comparison, and downtime is less than half as long.

This minimally invasive procedure uses automated devices to pluck fat cells one by one through tiny, two-millimeter-wide entry points. These entryways heal to resemble small freckles, if they form at all, whereas traditional chin liposuction can leave large scars instead.
