Among both men and women, a double chin
ranks high as a source of aesthetic dissatisfaction. In a 2014 survey
conducted by the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, 68% of
the more than 8,300 respondents named excess fat under the neck and chin
as a top concern. For men, a double chin can soften the face and obscure
bone structure, detracting from an otherwise strong jawline. For women,
that pocket of chin fat can add a weighty fullness and unwanted years to
even a youthful face. For everybody, a double chin can signal a
frustrating and seemingly futile battle against stubbornly-placed
fat.
A double chin can be the result of a number of factors, including
genetic predisposition, weight gain, and the natural aging process. Most
often it is a combination of two or more factors. Lamentably, once a
double chin has formed, it can become an unsightly tenacious fixture
that dominates the lower region of the face. Even a proper diet and
regular exercise may not provide an adequate solution. In fact, one of
the reasons the double chin is so high on the list of complaints is that
it is difficult to address. Until rather recently, ridding yourself of a
double chin meant undergoing cosmetic surgery.
Fortunately, today there are more options. A pioneering figure in the
world of non-surgical cosmetic procedures, Dr. Frank has developed some
highly advanced and minimally-invasive fat removal techniques that
specifically target chin fat. He is also setting the standard for the
newest fat reduction treatment on the market, Kybella. To treat excess
chin fat, Dr. Frank regularly performs the following procedures at his
New York office:
- UltraTight Treatment. UltraTight, Dr. Frank’s own technique, is a minimally invasive procedure that adds definition to the chin area. Combining state-of-the-art ultrasound technology with liposuction, Dr. Frank can lift, sculpt and strengthen the jawline. This procedure is highly popular among his male patients.
- Kybella injections. Recently approved by the FDA, Kybella is an injectable treatment that can slim down a double chin. Once injected, Kybella melts fat, prompting the body to naturally flush out the dead fat cells. A powerful tool in the fight against localized fat, Kybella is one of the most promising double chin treatments to date. Dr. Frank is one of the few board-certified fat removal specialists to offer Kybella injections.
Once fat cells are removed from the chin,
either via liposuction or Kybella injectable treatment, they are
eliminated for good. This means the results of the contouring procedures
can be enduring. However, weight fluctuation can re-introduce a double
chin, so it is important that you establish healthy habits and maintain
your weight. Exercise and a balanced diet are key players in ensuring
post-procedure success and long-lasting effects.
