Submental Fat (Double Chin)

Submental fat, commonly known as a double chin, can be a persistent concern that affects individuals regardless of weight or fitness level. This condition can make the jawline appear less defined, impacting overall facial harmony. Whether caused by genetics, aging, or weight changes, addressing submental fat can dramatically enhance your profile and boost your confidence. Dr. Steven R. Cohen and his trusted team of exceptional providers at FACES+ offers a range of advanced treatments to help you achieve a sleek, refined jawline and a more youthful appearance.

Services for Submental Fat and Double Chin

Dr. Cohen provides a variety of targeted treatments designed to reduce submental fat and improve chin and neck contour. Each approach is customized to suit your specific needs and aesthetic goals.

Focus on Natural Results

At FACES+, our goal is to enhance your natural beauty while maintaining a subtle and natural appearance. Dr. Cohen’s meticulous techniques ensure the improvements seamlessly integrate into your overall facial aesthetics.

Surgical Options

Liposuction: Liposuction can remove excess fat from under the chin. Dr. Cohen employs advanced techniques to ensure precise fat removal and contouring for a more defined jawline. This procedure typically involves a small incision hidden under the chin.
Submental Lipectomy: This surgical procedure removes excess fat and skin from the chin area and is often combined with other facial contouring techniques for optimal results. This option is ideal for patients with significant fat deposits and skin laxity seeking to make a complete transformation.
Neck Lift: A neck lift addresses the submental fat area under the chin while creating a more elegant neckline. This procedure uses small incisions to lift the tissue of the neck and under the jaw while removing excess under-chin fat to achieve a sculpted, clean look.

Non-Surgical Treatments

Kybella®: This is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that dissolves fat cells under the chin. Kybella targets submental fat, resulting in a more defined jawline. The procedure involves a series of injections and requires minimal downtime. It also has a more gradual effect than surgery, so changes to the face may be less evident as they happen over several weeks rather than all at once.
CoolSculpting®: A non-invasive fat reduction technique that uses controlled cooling to target and freeze fat cells under the chin. The body naturally sheds the destroyed fat cells, leading to a reduction in double chin without the need for surgery.

Combined Treatments

In some cases, Dr. Cohen may advise a tailored technique using elements of surgery, liposuction, and regenerative fat grafting to address fat removal and skin laxity. Each face is different, but the result is a more sculpted, smooth jawline.
