If you have a double chin despite being at a healthy weight liposuction can reduce this unwanted volume and restore a more defined and youthful neckline.
How To Get Rid Of A Double Chin
Also known as submental fat, double chins are very common among our male patients. Excess volume in this area can be notoriously difficult to target because it isn’t always associated with weight gain. Conversely, double chins develop due to genetics and the natural aging process in many cases.
Fortunately, you don’t have to live with a double chin forever. It’s possible to get rid of it for good with liposuction procedure with Dr. Kotis.

What to expect during liposuction
Liposuction is a very popular way to reduce a heavy double chin. To begin, Dr. Kotis will administer local anesthesia to numb the area and ensure your comfort. He will then many tiny incisions in the treatment area, concealed beneath the chin.
Through those openings, Dr. Kotis will insert a thin, hollow tube called a cannula. He will move this device back and forth to gently break up unwanted fat, tighten lax skin, and restore a more defined jawline.
The Recovery
It can take a full two weeks for your post-surgical bruising and swelling to subside.
Wear your compression garment as directed throughout the first week to tighten the skin and optimize healing
Return to sedentary work within about one week
Resume full activity in about two weeks
The Results
You will notice an immediate improvement in your neck contour after liposuction, though the results will be slightly obscured by bruising, swelling, and your compression garment.
Once all swelling has subsided in a few weeks, your final outcome will be apparent. In addition, skin tightening will continue to progress for several months.
