Why Do You Develop A Double Chin?
A double chin results from a combination of factors, primarily age-related sag affecting your lower face and neck, and an expansion of the fat pad underlying your chin, known as your submental fat pad.
Age-related sag is due to loss of structure in your jawline from bone loss, descent of your lower face fat pads, and skin laxity. This means there is less ‘scaffolding’ holding up the structures below, causing your submental fat pad to hang.
With ageing, the submental fat pad also tends to enlarge. While weight gain may contribute, more often than not there is a genetic component to your expanding double chin. In fact, weight loss alone is rarely the answer, and it is impossible to ‘spot train’ away a double chin through diet and exercise.
This is all a normal part of the ageing process!
How Can The Dr Jodie Clinic Help With Your Double Chin Concerns?
At the Dr. Jodie clinic, we understand that a double chin can greatly affect your confidence and self-esteem.
Your Dr. Jodie clinician offers comprehensive consultations to discuss your double chin and side profile concerns.
Effective non-surgical treatments are available including medical treatments, skin care, skin peels, LED therapy, mono threads, and devices. Laser Genesis is great for skin smoothing and firming, while the Scarlet S Radio Frequency is the most potent way to tighten up that outer skin envelope at the Dr. Jodie clinic. It is important to understand that liposuction is not your only solution.
Please note that any treatment that includes the use of schedule 4 medications cannot legally be advertised online, as directed by our governing body the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), so it is not a feature of our discussion here.
The first step is always consultation.
What Is Involved In Your Consultation On Your Double Chin At Melbourne’s Dr. Jodie Clinic?
Your Dr. Jodie clinician will carefully assess your face to see if you are best suited to non-surgical treatments or to more invasive surgical options, such as liposuction or a lower face and neck lift. You can trust that she will always provide an honest, educated opinion and will not hesitate if surgical referral is your best choice. This assessment will also consider your medical history, your lifestyle, your available recovery time, and your budget.
Based on her assessment, your Dr. Jodie clinician will formulate a personalised treatment plan, which details and guides your options based on your unique requirements. She will carefully explain all processes involved, your risk profile, treatment benefits, and expected costs. Your active participation is encouraged and there is enough time available to answer all your related questions.
Your progress will always be documented with before and after photos using standardised clinical photography.
A Tailored Approach And Refreshed Focus For Your Double Chin Concerns At Melbourne’s Dr. Jodie Clinic
From the comfort of her boutique clinic in Melbourne, your Dr. Jodie clinician will aim to restore your lower face structure while eliminating any excess fatty tissue underneath your chin. This will better define your jawline, neck, and profile. Not only will your double chin appear smaller, your lower face proportions and facial balance will also be improved. By taking a whole face approach to your treatment, your overall look will appear fresher rather than augmented. Your Dr. Jodie clinician does not follow trends, but instead prefers to find a solution that best suits your unique face based on your tailored treatment plan.
