Double Chins and Submuscular Fat Block Removal

(feat. Double Chin Liposuction & Double Chin Muscle Tying)

1. Double Chin Liposuction

As more people share their daily lives on social media through photos, interest in appearance has grown significantly.
A double chin, caused by excessive fat accumulation under the chin, can make a person look less defined and often results in unflattering photos.
Recently, interest in double chin surgery has surged as more individuals seek solutions to achieve a more refined jawline.

Double chin liposuction, also known as submental liposuction, removes excess fat accumulated under the chin.
The standard procedure involves making a small incision behind the ear, through which a thin tube called a cannula is inserted to suction out fat, effectively reducing the appearance of a double chin.

One of the key advantages of double chin liposuction is that it can significantly enhance facial contours without the need for bone surgery.

Common Reasons for Seeking Double Chin Liposuction

• Genetic Factors: A double chin caused by hereditary fat distribution.
• Age-Related Changes in Facial Fat Distribution: Fat accumulation due to natural aging.
• Localized Fat Accumulation Due to Weight Fluctuations: Stubborn fat deposits that remain despite weight changes.
• Desire for a More Defined Jawline and Profile: Individuals seeking a sharper and more sculpted appearance.

2. MINE Double Chin Muscle Tying (Vlimming)

Double chin muscle tying is a procedure that goes beyond traditional double chin liposuction by removing fat that cannot be eliminated with liposuction alone and tightening the muscles.

At MINE, we enhance the effectiveness of double chin reduction through a four-step liposuction process combined with platysma muscle tying, resulting in a more refined and long-lasting improvement.

4-Step Fat Removal and Muscle Tying Process

• Step 1: Superficial Fat Removal (Between Skin and Muscle)
  A round micro-cannula is used to minimize damage to skin tissues and nerves, reducing bruising, swelling, and post-surgery recovery time while lowering the risk of complications.
• Step 2: Removal of Grape-Like Fat Deposits Attached to Bone and Muscle
  Fat deposits near the muscle layer and bone are difficult to remove through suction alone.
  In this second step, individual fat granules are carefully extracted one by one to ensure thorough fat removal.
• Step 3: Fibrotic Fat Removal in Overlapping Neck Muscles
  The area under the chin, where the neck muscles overlap, contains fibrotic fat beneath the fascia, making it impossible to remove through standard liposuction.
  A precise dissection technique is required to avoid damaging the muscles.
  At MINE, we perform an additional minimal incision to meticulously and safely remove hidden fibrotic fat tissue under the chin.
• Step 4: Removal of Deep Fat Deposits and Muscle Binding
  After eliminating deep-seated fat between the muscles, the loose platysma muscle is tightened, and the skin is pulled upward for a significant and long-lasting improvement in the jawline.

When Double Chin Muscle Tying is Needed

1. Face appears larger due to excessive cheek and chin fat
2. Blurred jawline due to a double chin merging into the neck
3. Sagging facial fat caused by aging
4. Desire for a smoother, more defined facial contour
5. Concerns about skin sagging after facial contouring surgery
6. Unsatisfactory results from laser treatments or non-surgical procedures
7. Double chin caused by a naturally short chin structure

3. MINE Submuscular Fat Block Removal

What is Submuscular Fat Block Removal?

Submuscular fat block removal is an upgraded version of the double chin muscle tying procedure.
This advanced technique goes beyond the standard 4-step fat removal process by extracting large fat blocks located beneath the muscle, significantly enhancing patient satisfaction.

For severe cases where the double chin extends in a straight line from the chin to the neck (Pelican Neck case), simply removing superficial fat is not enough. In such cases, additional fat block removal from inside the neck muscles is required for effective improvement.

However, the inner neck region contains important blood vessels and nerves, making fat removal extremely delicate and complex. Many clinics avoid this procedure due to its difficulty.
At MINE Plastic Surgery, we utilize extensive experience and advanced techniques to safely remove deep-seated fat blocks within the muscle, delivering a more dramatic and refined chin contour.

Double Chin Surgery with Lifting Effects!

• Delicate Fat Removal for a Slimmer Face
  Using a micro-cannula, we precisely remove only excess fat cells, creating a more sculpted and refined facial contour.
• Customized Design for a Slimmer Front and Side Profile
  Rather than simply removing fat, we utilize a comprehensive double chin solution to achieve a slim V-line without bone shaving.
• Muscle Tying to Prevent Sagging and Enhance Lifting
  After fat removal, loose muscles are tightened and secured, preventing sagging and simultaneously providing a lifting effect.
• Additional Submuscular Fat Block Removal
  For severe double chin cases, deep-seated fat blocks inside the neck muscles are carefully removed to effectively reduce under-chin sagging.

If you’re struggling with excess fat accumulation under the chin, Double Chin Muscle Tying + Submuscular Fat Block Removal can provide a definitive and long-lasting improvement!
