Liposuction: This procedure removes fat from beneath the skin and sculpts the chin and neck contour. “We make a small incision under the skin, insert a tube and suck out the fat,” says Ishii. Liposuction typically requires only local anesthetic to numb the general area.
The procedure involves multiple small injections of deoxycholic acid into the fat beneath the chin. The number of injections required will depend on the size of the treatment area and the amount of fat that needs to be removed.
On average, expect to pay between $600 to $1,800 per session. Most people need 2 to 6 sessions, totaling around $2,400 to $10,800 for the full treatment. Your healthcare provider can offer a personalized estimate based on a thorough assessment during your consultation.
Are fat dissolving injections permanent? Once the fat cell has been destroyed, it has been permanently removed from your body. Results usually last between 2-4 years. However, it can last longer if you maintain a healthy diet with regular exercise.
Unlike some other fat-dissolving treatments, Aqualyx is particularly known for its ability to target small, stubborn pockets of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. Other fat-dissolving treatments, such as Kybella, also use deoxycholic acid but are typically used for different areas of the body, like the chin.
CoolSculpting is excellent for removing stubborn pockets of fat that do not respond to exercise or diet, while Kybella is effective for eliminating small or moderate pockets of fat in the treatment area. The best way to know if CoolSculpting or Kybella will work for you is to schedule a consultation with Dr.
Generally speaking, chin lipo is a simple procedure that is not painful. General anesthesia or local anesthesia with IV sedation will help you stay comfortable.
If diet and exercise aren't helping reshape your chin, you may want to consider double chin surgery. It removes loose skin and extra fat around your neck. Plastic surgeons do several kinds of contouring surgeries.
Reducing alcohol consumption, getting plenty of sleep, staying hydrated, and limiting salt intake are a few simple ways to reduce swelling and fluid retention, which may make the face appear slimmer.
Some believe it may help you get a chiseled jawline, reduce facial fat, or a double chin. However, there is no scientific research to support these claims. Chewing gum, as a type of facial exercise, might give your facial muscles a minor workout, but it is unlikely to create noticeable changes to your jawline.
Most health insurance plans do not cover chin surgery or its complications, but many plastic surgeons offer patient financing plans, so be sure to ask.
Injectables like Kybella® can be an effective non-surgical option for reducing a double chin. Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable medication that contains deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.
Risk of Nerve Damage: As with any medical procedure, Kybella also has potential side effects, including nerve injury, difficulty swallowing, and muscle weakness in the treated area.
For example, Liposuction can range anywhere from $1,000 to $20,000, with an average of $3,600 per treatment area. The average cost of CoolSculpting is $3,200 per treatment area. Sono Bello can range anywhere from $2,500 to $4,500.
HOW MUCH WILL MY TREATMENT COST? While some may need just one application, those with fuller areas of chin fat may require several applications. Each time an applicator is applied a fee will result. Each CoolMini applications costs $750.
If you want faster results, you might seek lipolysis treatments to get rid of your double chin. There are two main types of lipolysis treatments for double chin reduction: injection and laser. Injection lipolysis involves the injection of a solution that digests fat cells, reducing the double chin.
When injected into the fat beneath the chin, KYBELLA® destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, so further treatment is not expected once you reach your desired aesthetic goal.
Prices for AirSculpt® can vary significantly. They generally range from $6,000 to $25,000. Patients seeking treatment should consider their unique circumstances. The extent of the procedure often dictates where they fall within this range.
For the common target area under the chin, the average price of Kybella ranges from $750 per session. Typically, patients require multiple sessions for optimal results. The cost might be lower when treating smaller areas, like the jowls, while larger or more resistant areas could incur higher expenses.
However, Aqualyx is not recommended for women who are pregnant or breast feeding; patients with auto-immune disease, diabetics and patients who have had severe anaphylactic reactions and allergies. It is also not recommended for those people who have been diagnosed with lipodystrophy or any pathological conditions.
Number of Treatments
Many patients see significant results after 2-3 treatments and may not need another. Treatments are performed every 4-6 weeks but will be decided after an assessment after 4 weeks. These treatments have minimal downtime and needs some planning.
