Excess facial fat, especially in the form of a double chin, can be frustrating for those seeking a more defined and balanced appearance. It often affects how we see ourselves and can chip away at self-confidence, making it hard to feel at ease in social or professional settings. Fortunately, double chin removal offers a solution to enhance your profile and restore a sense of self-assurance. With Dr. David Passaretti, you can trust that your Fairfield County Double Chin Removal will come with great outcomes and incredible patient care.
Your double chin removal involves liposuction that removes excess fat from the chin and neck area to reveal a tighter, more youthful appearance. Submental liposuction is performed using small cannulas inserted through very tiny incisions made in the chin area to minimize scarring. This treatment permanently removes fat cells and helps to contour the area.
Even with the most committed, healthy eating and active lifestyle, there may be stubborn pockets of fat that are difficult to get rid of for some patients. Many struggle with submental fat or a "double chin," which can lower confidence in their overall appearance. By improving facial balance and symmetry, this procedure can also make the face appear slimmer and enhance overall attractiveness. Our Fairfield County double chin removal patients see benefits like:
This procedure is ideal for those with fat under the chin and good skin elasticity who do not have excessive loose skin in the area. Ideal candidates would like to see a smoother, tighter jawline area and get rid of a double chin. This treatment is minimally invasive and removes fat cells permanently for long-lasting improvement. Patients should be generally healthy, non-smokers, and be at or near their goal weight to ensure results are not affected in the future by extreme weight fluctuations. Patients who have severe skin laxity or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding are not good candidates for this procedure.
Your personalized consultation provides an opportunity to discuss your aesthetic goals with Dr. Passaretti and go over any relevant medical history to confirm if you are a good candidate for double chin removal using submental liposuction. At your consultation, we will provide a detailed treatment plan that includes information about the procedure, preparation requirements, and pricing information.
This Double Chin Removal typically takes about 30 minutes to an hour and typically begins with local anesthetic or tumescent anesthesia to numb the area under the chin. In some cases, sedation or general anesthesia may be used depending on the patient. Once the area is fully numbed, small incisions are made under the chin or behind the ears, and a thin tube called a cannula is inserted. The surgeon then gently suctions out excess fat, carefully contouring the chin and neck area for a more defined look.
