Say Bye to Your Double Chin with a Submentoplasty

Before and Immediately after Submentoplasty

Double chin can be a frustrating aspect in one's appearance, especially when it does not go away with diet and exercise. However, a submentoplasty procedure can be a life-changing solution to achieve a sculpted and snatched jawline. This minimally invasive procedure focuses specifically on the chin and upper neck area, helping to tighten loose skin and remove excess fat. In this blog post, we will discuss in detail what submentoplasty is, how it works, and why you should consider it.

What is a Submentoplasty?

Submentoplasty is a surgical procedure that enhances the appearance of the neck by tightening the muscle tissues and removing excess fat. One of the significant benefits of submentoplasty is that it involves a small incision made under the chin, leaving no visible scars.

How Does Submentoplasty work?

During the submentoplasty procedure, the surgeon lifts the neck skin and tightens the deep muscle tissues. The fat sculpting is also performed through the same incision. The procedure results in a significant reduction in the amount of submental fat, giving the neck a smoother and more youthful appearance. After the procedure, the patient can expect a more refined, tightened jawline.

Who is a Suitable Candidate for Submentoplasty?

If you have excess fat or loose skin in the neck and chin area and are in good health, you might be a good candidate for submentoplasty. However, it is essential to discuss your goals and expectations with a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Kassir, experienced in performing submentoplasty. Dr. Kassir will assess your medical history, skin elasticity, and facial structure before suggesting a suitable treatment plan.

What to Expect after Submentoplasty?

After submentoplasty, patients can expect some minor swelling, bruising, and discomfort for a few days. However, the recovery period is much shorter than traditional facelift surgery, and most patients can return to work and other routine activities within a week. Dr. Kassir may recommend wearing a compressive chin strap for a few weeks to support the neck and promote proper healing.

In conclusion, submentoplasty is an excellent solution for individuals struggling with excess fat and loose skin in the neck and chin area. The procedure is minimally invasive, resulting in a more refined, tightened jawline. If you are considering submentoplasty, it is essential to choose a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Kassir, who has the experience and expertise to perform the procedure safely and effectively. With submentoplasty, say goodbye to your double chin and hello to your sculpted and snatched jawline.
