What Is Submental Fullness?
Submental fullness is the presence of excess fat beneath the chin, resulting in a less defined jawline and the appearance of a second chin. It can be caused by various factors, including genetics, aging, and weight gain. Even individuals who are otherwise at a healthy weight may experience submental fullness.
Treatment Options
Non-Surgical Options
- Kybella (Deoxycholic Acid): This is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that destroys fat cells beneath the chin. The procedure involves a series of injections administered over a period of time.
- CoolSculpting: This non-invasive procedure uses controlled cooling technology to freeze and eliminate fat cells. It can be an effective option for reducing submental fullness.
Surgical Options
- Liposuction: A surgical procedure in which excess fat is removed from beneath the chin through small incisions. It provides more immediate results compared to non-surgical options.
- Neck Lift: This surgical procedure involves the removal of excess skin and tightening of the neck muscles, resulting in a more defined jawline.
Benefits of Submental Fullness Treatment
- Improved Appearance: Treating submental fullness can lead to a more defined and youthful-looking jawline, enhancing overall facial aesthetics.
- Boosted Confidence: Many individuals experience an increase in self-confidence and self-esteem after addressing their submental fullness.
- Non-Invasive Options Available: There are non-surgical procedures available to target submental fullness, providing a convenient and less invasive alternative to traditional surgical methods.
