Double chin/Submental Fat (SMF) is a growing aesthetic problem. It is a concern for young as well as old age and seen in both women and men. Fat or fullness under the chin is often difficult to reduce and is usually the last to loose even with healthy diet and regular exercises.
Double chin, is due to the obvious prominent appearance, can take a toll on the self-esteem sometimes. The patients demand in having this excess localised fat reduced either by non-invasive methods or invasive methods. Multiple options like lipolytic injections with deoxycholic acid (i.e., Kybella, Geolysis), Cryolipolysis, HIFU, Tight sculpting, Radiofrequency etc., are available.
The ideal candidate for these treatments, are the patients with a moderate to large amount of preplatysmal submental fat with small – moderate laxity of the surrounding skin.
