Double Chin Reduction
When we look in the mirror, most of us desire a sleek facial profile but end up having excess stubborn fat deposits in the submental space or the region underneath the chin that creates a double chin or submental fullness. Just about everyone who is becoming fat has a double chin as one of their insecurities. But not only fat, the slackening of skin underneath the chin and on the neck or on the jawline can also lead to the appearance of a double chin.
A double chin poses no health-related risk but its appearance can harm people’s self-esteem and social life, which is why most people turn to their dermatologists to reduce it, if not eliminate it. At DNA Skin Clinic, Dr. Priyanka Reddy provides the double chin treatment in Bangalore using the best non-surgical treatments and helps one achieve a sculpted jawline as he/ she desires.
There are various reasons behind the appearance of a double chin such as:
Double chin reduction is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that is specifically designed to combat the problems in skin elasticity or dissolve the undesirable submental fat so that the skin looks more youthful and radiant. Various techniques can be performed to remove or sculpt the double chin. These include fat removal by Kybella injections or tightening of the loose skin by thread lift.
Kybella is concentrated deoxycholic acid, a natural bile acid produced by the gallbladder and liver which is secreted into the intestine. It is capable of breaking down the unwanted fat cells in the body. Once the provider injects Kybella in the submental area, the fat cells’ membrane gets disrupted, hence liquefying the fat so that it can be easily absorbed by the body. This treatment is less time taking and has fewer side effects. After receiving these injections, the patient can enjoy the results for many years to come.
To get Kybella injections, the chin is first numbed with a topical anesthetic. Next, the injection sites are marked and followed by the administration of Kybella injections. The overall procedure takes about 15-20 minutes and is associated with minimal discomfort. Patients can apply ice packs on the injection site to alleviate any swelling. In a single session, up to 50 Kybella injections can be inserted under the chin about 1 cm apart from one another

It is the minimally-invasive approach to address mild to moderate skin laxities for cosmetic purposes. The treatment works by tightening the loose skin and also stimulates fibroblasts to boost collagen production around the placed threads which creates a rejuvenating and volumizing effect. When this treatment is performed in the submental area, a pointed chin and a smooth, well-defined jawline (i.e. a V-line face) can be easily attained. The procedure is safe, simple, and quick but its effect is temporary i.e. lasts for about 1-3 years.
In a thread lift treatment for double chin, first, the patients are asked to recline and their chin area is applied with an alcohol and numbing cream to prepare them for further procedure. Next, dissolvable suture materials (i.e. medical threads) are inserted into the targeted areas of the chin using a thin needle or a cannula. These barbed threads are placed in the subcutaneous fat layer and pulled tight to provide a subtle lift and tightening effect on the underlying muscles. Once this is done, the method of insertion is removed which results in a slight feeling of pressure or tightening effect beneath the skin.
