At Covai Cosmetic Surgery, Coimbatore, under the expert guidance of Dr. Sivakumar, we offer a range of advanced techniques for double chin correction. This comprehensive guide will provide you with a detailed understanding of the procedures, expectations, and considerations involved.
Overview
A double chin, medically known as submental fat, can be caused by various factors, including genetics, age, and weight fluctuations. It can affect self-esteem and make individuals feel self-conscious about their appearance. Double chin correction aims to reduce or eliminate this excess fat, creating a more defined and youthful jawline.
Objectives
The primary objectives of double chin correction are to:
- Reduce or eliminate excess fat beneath the chin.
- Tighten and contour the jawline.
- Improve facial harmony and profile.
- Boost self-confidence and overall appearance.

That's why Dr. Sivakumar and our team are dedicated to providing personalized treatment plans tailored to your individual needs and goals.

Equipment
The equipment utilized for double chin correction procedures can vary depending on the chosen technique. Some common tools include:
- Liposuction cannulas: These are thin tubes used to suction out fat.
- Radiofrequency devices: These devices use radiofrequency energy to tighten skin and stimulate collagen production.
- Laser devices: Lasers can be used to melt fat and tighten skin.
- Surgical instruments: For surgical procedures like neck lifts.
Contraindications
While double chin correction is generally safe, certain conditions may make you an unsuitable candidate. These contraindications include:
- Active infections in the treatment area.
- Bleeding disorders.
- Uncontrolled diabetes.
- Certain autoimmune diseases.

Technique or Treatment
The specific technique or treatment used for double chin correction will depend on the amount of fat present, skin elasticity, and your desired outcome. Common procedures include:
- Liposuction: This involves surgically removing excess fat through small incisions.
- Cryolipolysis (CoolSculpting): This non-invasive procedure freezes and eliminates fat cells.
- Radiofrequency Skin Tightening: This uses radiofrequency energy to tighten skin and stimulate collagen production.
- Neck Lift (Platysmaplasty): This surgical procedure tightens the neck muscles and removes excess skin.
- Kybella Injections: This injectable treatment dissolves fat cells.
Anesthesia
The type of anesthesia used will depend on the chosen procedure. Liposuction and neck lifts typically require local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. Kybella injections usually only require local anesthesia. Non-invasive procedures like CoolSculpting generally don't require anesthesia.
