What is a double chin?

Double chin, also known as jowls, is a common problem that affects about 50% of people around the world. It is an accumulation of fat in the area below the chin. This problem does not cause any danger or health problems, its appearance is annoying and undesirable for many people, especially women because it gives the person an older and wider facial appearance.

What are the causes that lead to the appearance of a double chin?

There are a group of reasons that lead to this appearance, explained to you by Dr. Yasser Badi, a facial plastic surgeon, and they are as follows:

Obesity and increased body fat, especially local fat in the neck area.
Aging and loss of skin elasticity.
Wrong body positions contribute to the appearance of jowls, and we notice that many people recently sat for long hours with their heads bent forward while using their mobile phones.
People with weak lower jaw muscles are more likely to have jowls.
Also, a double chin may be caused by genetics.

What are the ways to remove a double chin?

The double chin can be slimmed in more than one way, and the choice of method depends on the size of the jowls and the existing state of sagging. Among the most important methods are the following:

Surgery

Surgery is resorted to in the case of severe sagging in the chin area, with a large area of sagging skin. During this procedure, a surgical incision is made through which excess skin is cut, the area is tightened, and excess fat is removed.

Liposuction

It is used if there is a large amount of localized fat in the area under the chin, and the person does not suffer from sagging skin in the area. Here, it is sufficient to dissolve the fat using the VASER liposuction, and then suction the fat outside the body.

Double chin removal using non-surgical cosmetic techniques

Jowls can be removed and treated through some non-surgical cosmetic methods, such as thread lift for the chin area. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia only. The double chin can also be eliminated and its appearance improved through laser treatment.

The laser helps tighten the skin in this area by stimulating collagen production.

It is also possible to get rid of this annoying problem through a cooling technique, where the area is exposed during several sessions to a low degree of cold that contributes to the breakdown of fat cells present in this area.

How long does the recovery take after Jowl removal?

The recovery period after this procedure depends on the method through which the Jowls were eliminated. Recovery generally requires a period ranging from 3 weeks to one month. As for liposuction, the recovery period ranges from one to two weeks only. During the recovery period, the person will suffer from swelling in the chin area with the appearance of dark spots and bruises. It is also normal to feel mild pain during this period, and all of these symptoms disappear gradually over time.

Are there instructions that must be followed after Jowl removal?

Of course, like any surgical or cosmetic procedure, there is a set of guidelines that a person must adhere to for the recovery period to pass with minimal complications. Among the most important tips that a person must adhere to after this operation are the following:

Take care of the operation area, especially the wounds, keep them clean, and do not expose them to water to avoid any infection.
Do not move the head and neck violently. The doctor will prescribe for you the correct way to position the head after the operation.
You must also refrain from smoking.
Commitment to complete rest after the operation and keep away from any stress.
A healthy diet is essential during the recovery period.

Are the results of the Double Chin removal procedure permanent?

Fortunately, most of the results of these operations are permanent. Treating Jowls through surgery or liposuction gives permanent results while tightening with cosmetic threads requires repeating the cosmetic procedure from time to time to maintain the result.

In general, one must maintain weight and sit in the correct positions to avoid accumulation of fat and sagging skin again in this area.

Advantages of removing jowl appearance through liposuction

It can be considered that VASER liposuction to treat this problem is one of the best methods and techniques, because VASER can dissolve fat with high accuracy and in the most difficult areas, and it does not cause serious complications, in addition to a short recovery period after the operation.

The operation is performed through small holes only, which means that the operation will not leave any traces or cracks that distort the shape of the area. It will also avoid the effects of surgery, bleeding, and complete anesthesia that is used in surgical methods.

What after removing the double chin?

After treating this annoying problem, whether through surgery or liposuction, you will notice that the chin area is tight and does not contain any fat. You will also appear younger and will feel more youthful and self-confident, and you will get rid of the feeling of shyness that you were suffering from due to the appearance of the Jowls.

What is the cost of Jowl removal surgery?

The cost of this operation depends on several things, the most important of which is the degree of sagging present, and whether it will be treated through surgery or liposuction. Each method has a different cost, so if you want to know the exact cost, you must visit your doctor to examine and evaluate the condition.

We can roughly say that the cost of the operation in Egypt starts from 20 thousand pounds.

Can a double chin be prevented?

There are a set of tips that are useful if you want to prevent a Jowl appearance, and are also useful to protect against the deterioration of the condition if you already have the problem:

Try to lose weight if you are overweight, as losing weight contributes to improving the shape of the chin.
Control weight by committing to eating healthy foods.
Exercising routinely with a group of exercises to strengthen the muscles in the neck and lower chin area.
Sit in the correct position, and do not bend the head forward for long periods, especially while working or using a mobile phone.
