Liposuction
If you're wondering about how to lose a double chin, then one of the best choices when it comes to double chin plastic surgery is a double chin liposuction. This procedure involves removal of the fat under the chin and is done by a plastic surgeon. This procedure is helpful for those people that have normal facial contour with a slightly convex profile. In this procedure, along with the chin fat, the sagging skin that is present around the chin region, is also tightened and stitched together. This procedure is known as microcannular liposuction. Very small incisions (as small as 2mm in diameter) are made under the skin of the chin and then a cannula is inserted, with the help of which the fat is removed.

There are many advantages of this procedure, firstly, this procedure is done under local anesthesia and not general anesthesia. So patients that are vary of the various general anesthesia side effects can breathe easy. Secondly, as the incisions are so small, there is hardly any bleeding, as there is minimum amount of trauma that is done to the skin tissues. Due to all these factors, the recovery time of a patient that has undergone a double chin plastic surgery is very less, and the patient can resume normal activity after five days or so.

Mentoplasty
Another type of plastic surgery to remove double chin is mentoplasty. This is a procedure that is done for those people that are thin or who have a thin frame but end up having a double chin because of a retruded or receding chin. Such people do not have a very visible chin, due to which even a little bit of fat accumulation and storage under the chin becomes very visible. For such people, the bone that is present in the chin is repositioned frontally, so that it makes the chin look more prominent. This surgical option is only for people that do not have a very prominent chin.

Although these options may seem feasible and may look like an easy way out, there are a few drawbacks related to them. Firstly, the double chin plastic surgery cost comes to around USD 3000 to USD 5000.
