A double chin or submental fullness can make a person look older and heavier. In a 2014 survey by the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, about 70% of respondents reported being bothered by submental fullness. This distressing aesthetic concern is typically caused by factors such as aging, weight gain, genetics, and postural problems, and is difficult to resolve with just diet and exercise. Liposuction has been proven the gold standard to get rid of stubborn chin fat pocket. However, while traditional liposuction does provide effective fat removal, the procedure cannot address sagging skin or loose skin under the chin. It also involves general anesthesia, extended downtime, scars, and long recovery. Fortunately, today we have BodyTite, an impressive technology that can provide better results than traditional liposuction. BodyTite chin liposuction is an innovative minimally-invasive procedure that uses local anesthesia to provide surgical quality results without the added downtime and scars. The procedure:
- Reduces a double chin
- Tightens loose skin in the chin, neck and jaw area
- Reshapes and improve chin contour
BodyTite liposuction is performed using the FDA-cleared BodyTite liposuction device which works on patented RFAL (radiofrequency – assisted lipolysis) technology. With just one treatment, BodyTite can provide surgical quality results by eliminating stubborn fatty deposits, and tightening the skin, without surgery, scars and downtime.
The procedure starts with the surgeon marking the treatment area and administering local anesthesia. A tiny incision will be created and the RF-assisted BodyTite handpiece will be inserted into the subcutaneous tissue to deliver RF energy to the site. The heat will melt the subcutaneous fat, allowing it to be easily removed. Along with fat reduction, it also coagulates the blood vessels, encourages the production of collagen and tightens the skin, while leaving the surrounding tissues unharmed. BodyTite body contouring surgery can provide 40% more skin tightening than traditional liposuction treatment.
BodyTite allows the surgeon to sculpts the chin to naturally-beautiful shape and minimizes the appearance of wrinkling and sagging. The time required for the procedure would depend on the extent of the area treated.
A healthy person with good skin elasticity is considered an ideal candidate for the procedure. Results will vary depending on individual considerations. Initial results can be seen immediately after the procedure and the best outcomes are usually visible after 6-12 weeks.
