Chin up!
While your double chin may be a source of distress for you, affecting your self-esteem and facial harmony, there is no dearth of treatments to address this concern!
In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore the underlying causes of double chins, examine cutting-edge fat-dissolving treatments, and discuss alternative non-surgical options for facial contouring.
Top Reasons Behind Your Double Chin
A double chin may develop due to the following reasons:
- Genetics: Your genes impact how much collagen your skin makes and where the fat is stored in your body.
- Age: As you get older, your skin loses its tautness due to low collagen leading to sagging skin, weakened face muscles, and a double chin.
- Posture: Bad posture can cause your skin to sag and a double chin to appear.
- Weight gain: Gaining weight can lead to the accumulation of fat cells in the neck and chin areas.
- Short neck – expand the same
- Thyroid Gland – expand the same
Why opt for fat-dissolving treatments?
Let’s dive into the reasons as to why one should go for fat-dissolving treatments:
- You are conscious or bothered by the fat under your chin.
- Your double chin makes you look older or heavier than you are.
- You don’t want to have surgery.
- You eat well and exercise, but the double chin does not go away.
Kybella
Kyeblla is the only FDA-approved injectable fat-dissolving treatment that destroys fat cells in the area under the chin. It’s a prescription medicine used in adults to improve the appearance of your face.
How does it work?
Kybella uses a synthetic form of Deoxycholic acid (a bile acid) which is naturally produced by our body to aid fat absorption. Once injected, it destroys fat cells beneath the chin area and hampers fat storage ability. 20 to 50 injections may be used under the chin.
Risks of Kybella
- Pain
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Redness
- Numbness
- Weakened facial muscle
- Uneven smile
- Trouble swallowing
- Nerve injury in the jaw
Cryolipolysis
Cryolipolysis, commonly referred to as “CoolSculpting” or “Fat Freezing”, is a non-surgical fat-dissolving treatment, that uses cold temperature to break down fat cells. It reduces localized fat deposits that do not respond to diet and exercise.
How does it work?
A handheld device, called an applicator, is used to freeze the layer of fat cells (adipocytes) underneath the skin. Fat cells are more susceptible to damage from cold temperatures than other cells and this damages their membranes. It may take up to an hour to treat an area.
Risks of Cryolipolysis
- Surface irregularities
- Asymmetry
- Paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (rare)
