DOUBLE CHIN TREAMTENT | VANCOUVER
What is double chin ?
Double chin also known as submental fat is a common condition where a layer of fat or excess fat forms under the chin area. By reducing the amount of submental fat it’s possible to attain a more chiseled jaw appearance. The general misconception is that having a double chin means you are over-weight. This is far from the truth. In fact, you don’t have to be overweight to get a double chin. There are many underlying causes which result in double chin, including:
Weight gain
Skin laxity
Aging Skin
Poor Posture
Facial Structure
Genetics
What is the first step in treating double chin?
Before deciding which treatment is suitable for you its important to have the underlying cause of your double chin diagnosed. At Monarch MD, our award winning facial plastic surgeon has decades of experience with diagnosing and treating double chin in men and women in Vancouver. This includes detailed medical examination, high resolution imaging and sometimes complete blood test.
How does a double chin affect facial aesthetics?
For many people, a double chin can affect their self-esteem and confidence. It can also make you appear older. In fact, a study shows that even a slight double chin can lead to negative feelings.
In rare cases, excess chin fat can contribute to a condition called obstructive sleep apnea, where breathing stops and starts frequently during sleep.
Having a strong, defined jawline can undoubtedly enhance your facial harmony and highlight other features like the eyes and cheekbones.
Not surprisingly, many celebrities including Khloe Kardashian, have opted for non-invasive double chin treatments to achieve the desired facial contour.
As an award-winning surgeon, Dr. Akbari specializes in non-surgical double chin removal that starts with understanding the causes of double chin.
What is the most effective treatment for double chin?
Another misconception is that if one loses enough weight then their double chin would disappear. While this might be true for some individuals, we see many patients who have lost an impressive amount of weight through diet and exercise — but they are still have excessive submental fat and a double chin. Luckily there are many treatment options for “melting away” the double chin in Vancouver. Most treatments fall under two main categories surgical and non-surgical double chin treatment. At Monarch MD we have both options available but our most favorite is the non-surgical double chin therapy. Before we go any further lets go over the non-surgical options for double chin treatment.
