“Can the double chin be fixed?”

There are many factors that go int fixing a double chin. The secret to success is for the surgeon to identify the anatomic problem, if you will, as well as get a good history. I explain to patients that the body is like a building. If you have a strong scaffold what lies on top is supported by the scaffold. In the face, it is critical to identify facial shape. It is critical to obtain history of facial trauma including fractures. It is very critical to obtain history of dental work from braces to root canals to implants. Dental health stimulates the facial skeleton which is why it is so important to take good care of the teeth. Then, one looks at the chin relative to the face, skin quality and fat deposits. So, as you can see, there is more to it than meets the eye. But, yes, it can be fixed. However, success is a joint discussion between the patient and surgeon with detailed history. Great question.

Absolutely! There are several options available depending on your specific anatomy and goals. A virtual consultation would be needed to address your specific needs.

Yes. Double chin can be due to excessive fat, excessive skin or both. The treatment depends on which factors are the main cause. Sometimes, you may need liposuction and / or neck lifts.
