Understanding Chin Lifting and Double Chin Reduction: What You Need To Know

About Chin Lifting and Double Chin Reduction

At Prèface Cosmetic, we see many clients searching for rejuvenation and procedures for the chin area. This includes the chin, neck and jowl area, with some clients specifically requesting chin reduction surgery. Over time, factors such as ageing and collagen loss can cause the skin in this region to loosen, leading to the development of a double chin or sagging skin. As a result, many individuals turn to us with questions and requests addressing double chin reduction surgery and procedures aimed at lifting and tightening the area around the chin.

Dr. Hollenbach is experienced in a variety of techniques to address these concerns, offering both surgical and non-invasive treatment options for those looking to stimulate collagen production and tighten skin. Treatments like Thermage, Pellevé, and eTwo Sublime are common choices for those looking for a non-surgical lift. In this blog, we’ll provide you with essential information you may be looking for understand what is involved in chin lifting and chin reduction.

Surgical Options for Chin Lifting and Double Chin Reduction

Laser Liposuction
Chin liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure commonly used for double chin reduction. It targets excess fat beneath the chin by using laser to denature fat. The fat is then left to absorb naturally over a period of time or can be removed immediately with liposuction.

Laser liposuction can be combined with iNeedle (information below) to tighten the chin area and provide chin reduction. It can also be combined with collagen stimulating techniques such as Thermage, eTwo Sublime and Pellevé.

iNeedle Chin Lifting
Another option for rejuvenating the chin area is iNeedle. This minimally invasive procedure is designed to lift chin tissue for those who don’t require a full facelift. It reshapes the chin’s angle and contour, by suspending any loose tissue, with visible results immediately after the procedure. The treatment typically takes less than 1 hour to complete, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a chin lift in Newcastle without the need for extensive recovery time.

This procedure helps restore natural contours and adds volume to the chin, providing a more natural appearance. iNeedle can also be combined with other treatments, such as Laser Liposuction or Thermage, for enhanced effects.

Non-surgical Treatments for Skin Rejuvenation

Collagen-stimulating treatments like Thermage, eTwo Sublime and Pellevé are effective non-invasive options for lifting and tightening the skin around the jawline, jowls and chin. These treatments don’t usually provide instantaneous effects, but skin tightening and lifting effects can be seen in the months post treatment as the body lays down new collagen.

Thermage
Thermage is a non-invasive radio-frequency (RF) therapy that can smooth and contour the skin around the chin and jawline. The procedure works by stimulating collagen production deep within the skin, improving skin texture and elasticity. This is a popular option for those looking for a non-invasive chin lift in Newcastle.

eTwo Sublime
The eTwo Sublime uses a combination of energies to stimulate collagen production, improving overall skin quality and texture. Although this treatment is not as aggressive as Thermage, eTwo is highly effective for tightening the skin around the chin and jawline.

Pellevé
Pellevé is another radio-frequency treatment that provides a non-surgical method to tighten and lift the skin around the chin. It is ideal for those with mild to moderate skin laxity, offering a gentle but effective way to rejuvenate the chin area. Pellevé takes less than an hour and has no associated downtime. This makes Pellevé the perfect lunch hour treatment.
