Double chin removal

The elimination of the double chin is key to correct the sagging of tissues in the neck, which causes flaccidity and an aged appearance. In cases of fat accumulation, it can generate an appearance of obesity. Both sagging and excess fat are effectively corrected with a neck lift or anterior cervicoplasty, procedures with a quick recovery.

What does double chin removal consist of?

Jowl surgery aims to remove excess skin in the neck, simultaneously tightening the skin and underlying muscle to achieve a firmer and rejuvenated appearance.

 

what is a double chin?

A double chin is formed by the accumulation of subcutaneous fat under the chin, creating a visible wrinkle that causes sagging and an aged appearance.

why do double chins form?

A double chin may be due to the structure of the neck, the height of the hyoid bone, flaccidity of the platysma muscle or fat accumulation. Although it is common in people with obesity, it can also be hereditary and does not improve with weight loss or non-surgical treatments.

 

how is a double chin removed?

There are three main options:

  • Anterior cervicoplasty: Removes excess skin and fat with a Z-shaped incision in the anterior neck, tightening the platysma muscle. Ideal for men with flaccidity or excess fat, it lasts from 45 minutes to one hour, under local anesthesia and sedation.
  • Posterior lift: Common in women, tightens the skin from behind, ideal for correcting jowls and rejuvenate the neck in women with thinner skin.
  • Jowl liposuction: Indicated when the jowl is caused by excess fat. It is combined with Renuvion® technology to treat sagging skin and improve retraction.

The elimination of the double chin improves the appearance of the neck, achieving a more youthful and defined appearance. At DEMYA, we use advanced techniques to ensure natural, long-lasting results.

¿Cuándo está indicado el Lifting Cervicofacial?

Este procedimiento es ideal para pacientes con signos evidentes de envejecimiento facial, especialmente cuando el óvalo del rostro ha perdido definición y la línea mandibular se ha vuelto discontinua.

Está recomendado para personas entre 50 y 65 años, aunque puede realizarse antes o después, según el grado de envejecimiento.

El lifting no solo rejuvenece, sino que permite que el envejecimiento futuro siga un proceso natural.

We answer your questions

The risks and complications after jowl surgery are rare, and we mention them to give you complete information, not to alarm you. As in any intervention, there is an anesthetic risk, although it is extremely low. From the beginning to the end of the surgery, the anesthesiologist will be present, monitoring your vital signs. In some cases, scarring may result in thick, reddened scars that take months to flatten and lighten, resulting in wider than usual scars. This complication is rare thanks to our suturing techniques and the postoperative care we will recommend. Scarring problems are more frequent in smokers. To obtain a good result after the cervical lift, it is crucial that the detached skin is readapted with adequate tension. Significant skin loss, although rare (less than 5%), may require additional procedures and scarring. It is normal for small accumulations of fluid to appear under the skin after surgery, usually reabsorbing within 4 to 6 weeks.
