[Lari Plastic Surgery] If Liposuction Alone Isn’t Enough for Your Double Chin, Combining It with Platysma Muscle Tightening Can Double the Effect!

Even with dieting, fat under the chin does not disappear easily.

Despite losing weight, the double chin remains, and

many people are concerned that their face still looks large in photos

or that the boundary between the neck and chin is unclear.

In such cases, in addition to simply dieting,

combining double-chin liposuction with muscle-tightening surgery

may create a more defined jawline.

Even a brief search about double chins will bring up many procedures that can improve them,

such as contour injections and InMode lifting.

However, they may not be effective,

and even when they are, the results may quickly return.

Ultimately, surgery for a double chin may be needed to address the underlying cause.

The cause of an unwanted double chin is not simply fat.

It can develop for various reasons, based on the accumulation of fat under the chin,

including reduced skin elasticity under the chin and separation of the neck muscle (the platysma).

Therefore, if the central neck muscles are widely separated or the skin has sagged,

the desired jawline may not appear even after removing fat from under the chin.

Lari Plastic Surgery’s double-chin surgery is performed using a three-way approach.

First, excess fat accumulated under the chin is removed to address the fundamental cause.

Next, the separated neck muscles (the platysma) are brought together at the center and secured, tightening the area.

Finally, lifting threads are inserted to make the boundary between the chin and neck more distinct.

This is Lari Plastic Surgery’s special double-chin surgery recipe!

When all three procedures are performed together,

the line under the chin is often improved more clearly and three-dimensionally

than with fat reduction alone.

Double-chin surgery is recommended for people who:

▶ Still have a double chin no matter how much weight they lose

▶ Want to make their profile or jawline look slimmer and more defined

▶ Are concerned that the boundary between their neck and chin is unclear

▶ Have a thick, sagging area under the chin resembling a pelican’s pouch

Before surgery,

when the boundary between the chin and neck looked unclear from the front, making the face appear wider,

and the profile looked less defined because of the sagging area under the chin resembling a pelican’s pouch,

after surgery,

you can expect a defined V-shaped line, a natural jawline, a neck that appears longer,

and a more refined profile.

In fact, the part many people are most satisfied with

is realizing their own changes after surgery when people around them say,

“Your face looks smaller,” or “It looks like you’ve lost a lot of weight.”

Recovery can vary from person to person,

but initial swelling and bruising generally remain for about one month.

During this period, consistently wearing a compression band that wraps around the face is important.

The day after surgery: Visit the clinic for disinfection

One-week visit: Removal of stitches from the incision under the chin

Immediately after surgery–1 week: Compression band required 24 hours a day

1 week–1 month: Wear it whenever possible, as well as while sleeping

After 1 month: Wear it while sleeping

Although the final result may vary depending on individual skin elasticity and recovery,

swelling in the surgical area generally subsides almost completely within 3–6 months,

and incision scars become softer and lighter over time.

Comparing the before-and-after photos, the boundary between the chin and neck has become more defined,

and the overall impression of the face appears improved even though the facial features are covered with a mosaic.

Not all double chins have the same cause.

For some people, fat is the cause; for others, it may be the muscles, while for others, reduced skin elasticity may be the primary factor.

Therefore, creating a surgical plan suited to your specific cause through a thorough consultation

is the most important step in improving satisfaction.

As can be seen in the before-and-after photos above,

satisfaction tends to be high when double-chin surgery is performed on appropriate candidates,

but the same results do not occur for everyone.

Rather than deciding to undergo the surgery simply because a friend or acquaintance had it and became more attractive,

it is important to receive a thorough consultation, have your facial structure and the cause accurately assessed,

and choose surgery suited to your individual needs in order to achieve an improved appearance.
