Double chin reduction refers to treatments used to reduce excess fat or loose skin under the chin, improving jawline definition and facial contour. A double chin can develop due to weight gain, aging, genetics, or skin laxity.
There are several treatment options depending on the cause and severity. Non-surgical methods include fat-dissolving injections (deoxycholic acid), radiofrequency tightening, ultrasound therapy, and laser treatments, which help reduce fat and tighten the skin gradually. Cryolipolysis (fat freezing) is also used in some cases to reduce localized fat deposits.
For more significant fat removal, minimally invasive procedures like lipolysis or surgical options such as liposuction may be recommended.
Results improve over time as fat reduces and skin tightens. Maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, and proper skin care can help maintain long-term results after treatment.
