Chin Lifting and Reduction Surgery

Chin Lifting and Double Chin Reduction Surgery

Here at Prèface Cosmetic we see many clients who are looking for rejuvenation and procedures for the chin. This includes the surrounding chin, neck and jowl area including chin reduction surgery. Dr Hollenbach has expertise in many techniques which help in rejuvenating this area of the face.

The chin area can be prone to looseness and fat deposition as a cause of collagen loss with age. The most common patient requests for procedures include double chin reduction surgery and lifting of sagging skin in the chin area.

Additional, non-invasive treatments such as Thermage, Pellevé and eTwo Sublime are also used to tighten the chin area and stimulate collagen production.

Laser Liposuction

Laser Liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that addresses excess fat in the chin area. It works by denaturing fat, which the body then absorbs through natural means, or can be removed immediately with liposuction.

iNeedle Chin Lifting

iNeedle is a minimally invasive procedure that creates a lift structure with a single suture running from side to side under the chin and jaw. The resulting scaffold effect suspends any loose tissue and gives the lift effect.

What are less invasive and non-surgical techniques to address the chin area?

Collagen stimulants such as Thermage, eTwo Sublime and even Pellevé can be effective non-invasive techniques for lifting and tightening the skin around the jawline, jowls and chin. The effects after these treatments are not instantaneous but after a few months improvement is seen by all if compared to pre-operative photos.
