A sagging chin is no longer a problem! Extremely effective tips on how to remove a sagging chin

What to do when your chin hangs?

Contrary to popular belief, a sagging chin appears not only in overweight people, but also in very thin people. The thin skin of the neck area is practically devoid of sebaceous glands, therefore it is as vulnerable as the area around the eyes

Sagging of the chin-neck area occurs for many reasons:

You have lost weight dramatically.

Slouch and walk with your head down. In this position, the muscles of the chin and neck relax, lose tone and cease to support the skin. The oval of the face blurs. Sagging, circular folds and wrinkles appear.

Excess fat in the submental area and double chin.

You are over 40 years old. The skin slows down collagen production and, as a result, begins to sag. Excess fat in this area only increases chin ptosis, pulling it down.

Sagging skin on the chin requires care

1. Effective care can begin with the use of cream.

It will moisturize the skin and protect it from early aging. The cream is used 2 times a day - morning and evening.

It is better, of course, to order an individual hand-made cream with a shock concentration of the active substances your skin needs. This magical Haute Couture elixir has an immediate effect, tightening a sagging chin.

But even ordinary cream needs to be applied correctly.

Before using the cream, the skin of the chin and neck is cleansed. The cream should not be smeared on the face. Apply it to your skin with light pats of your fingertips. Now remember how you touch your forehead to determine if you have a fever. It is with this gesture that you continue to distribute the already applied cream over the skin without stretching it.

2. About once a week, your neck needs exfoliation.

Do not use scrubs for these purposes. Your choice is fruit acids AHA of low concentration of 5-7%.

3. A daily contrast shower for the body and face is extremely effective.

Not only will the loose skin under the chin tighten, but also your immune system, reliably relieving you of colds.

4. A chin lift is impossible without muscle toning.

Choose chin exercises that interest you and perform them in any free minute.

5. And, of course, do not forget to drink 2 liters of clean water to maintain skin balance.

Within 2 months of starting to use these tips, you will see a significant effect.

Reasons to get a neck and chin lift

With the help of such plastic surgery, you can get rid of excess skin and fat, tighten the neck muscles, remove age-related sagging skin and, thereby, create a beautiful and clear contour of the face and neck.

Indications for chin and neck plastic surgery:

chin asymmetry, chin deformation (chin correction required);
underdevelopment of the chin, sloping or unexpressed chin-cervical angle (chin augmentation is required);
heavy, protruding chin (needs chin reduction);
excess subcutaneous fat in this area (task: removal of a double chin);
loose skin, unaesthetic skin folds on the neck (neck skin tightening);
prolapse of the submandibular salivary glands, etc.

In preparation for surgery, the patient attends a face-to-face consultation with a plastic surgeon, then undergoes a full medical examination to identify possible contraindications.

Contraindications to surgery are:

age under 18 years;
period of pregnancy and lactation;
cardiovascular, endocrinological and other serious chronic illnesses;
cancer;
bleeding disorders;
acute infections and inflammatory processes;
dermatological diseases, etc.

Relative contraindications:

menstruation;
ARVI and influenza;
tendency to form keloid scars.

If you need results very quickly

In this case, it is better to start with a consultation with a plastic surgeon. Only a personal examination allows you to determine exactly why the chin is drooping and concentrate on eliminating the causes.

Cosmetology has ample opportunities to eliminate problems.

Loose skin on the chin is perfectly tightened using the unique micro-injection technique of Botox.

Expert comment:

“By playing with the depth of drug administration, relaxing the muscle in some places and tensing it in others, we achieve a significant effect. The tone of the platysma and skin increases, small wrinkles smooth out, and sagging goes away.”

Iskornev Andrey, plastic surgeon.

If a sagging chin is caused by excess fat accumulation, the use of modern lipolytics Michelangelo and INNO-TDS Draining ppc shows excellent results. Their effectiveness is comparable to liposuction and helps even in cases where diet and fitness have proved their impotence.

Nano liposuction of the double chin with laser. Tiny cannulas are inserted under the skin through 2-3 mm punctures, which heal without a trace. But this is not the only advantage of the technique. During the fat removal process, the laser beam stimulates the skin and even eliminates a sagging chin: after the procedure, the skin independently contracts and tightens

Injection contouring and Radiesse are also used to lift the lower third of the face. It stimulates the production of your own collagen in the affected area, the contour of the lower jaw becomes clear. The effect can be enhanced by additional procedures of the Japanese elastin cocktail “Sakura”.

Mesothreads are used to strengthen and tighten the chin area. We recommend using threads enriched with epidermal growth factor using the exclusive Platinental method. They show 30% better results than with conventional administration.

An excellent tightening effect is achieved by ultrasonic lifting using the Doublo device.

I would like to note a new addition to the range of lipolytics. It is ideal against chin sagging caused by excess fat accumulation.

This is the drug Aqualyx. The solution is injected with a long needle - a cannula - directly into the area of fat deposits.

Although the intralipotherapy procedure is performed by a plastic surgeon, it does not require operating room conditions or even anesthesia, and is comparable in effectiveness to liposuction.

It is important to note one more advantage of this drug. If the procedure is performed before the age of 40 (for men - up to 60), then after fat removal, the skin under the chin is reduced and tightened. Believe me, the significant lifting effect on your face will be noticeable not only to you.

Types of neck and chin lift

When working with the lower part of the face and neck, plastic surgeons use a variety of techniques, based on the tasks assigned to them. On average, the operation takes 1-2 hours. Most often, local anesthesia or sedation (sleep therapy) is used.

To correct the chin and neck, the following are used:

platysmoplasty;
endoscopic method;
liposuction;
churchoplasty;
thread plastic surgery of the chin;
mentoplasty;
chin contouring.

Platysmoplasty

Platysma is a flat muscle lining the front of the neck. With age, its tone weakens and the muscle begins to sag. Because of this, the “angle of youth” (the angle between the neck and chin, ideally 90 degrees) becomes less and less pronounced, excess skin is formed, and the effect of “goose bumps” is created.

There are two types of surgery: lateral platysmoplasty involves tightening the tissues of the anterior surface of the neck in the lateral direction and upward; medial platysmaplasty involves suturing the edges of the platysma in the central section to restore the frame function of the muscles of the anterior surface of the neck and achieve a pronounced lifting effect.

Platysmaplasty of the neck is considered a complex, but also very popular operation. It is often combined with facial plastic surgery. As a rule, patients aged 40+ resort to a neck lift.

Endoscopic method of neck and chin lift

Endoscopic lifting is the most gentle and very effective type of neck and chin plastic surgery, suitable, however, only for patients without problems with sagging and sagging skin. As a rule, these are people under 50 years of age. In this case, endoscopic lifting achieves a clear transition from the neck to the chin.

The success of the operation can be judged only after a few months, since the formation of the contour can last up to six months. However, the intermediate result of endoscopic lifting can be observed after 1.5 months.

Neck lift with threads (ligature lift)

Neck lifting with threads is a minimally invasive method of neck rejuvenation, performed on an outpatient basis (without hospitalization). To tighten the skin of the neck, the doctor passes threads subcutaneously and fixes them behind the ears. To lift the chin with threads, the latter are fixed under the chin in the form of a hammock. The duration of the operation is from 30 minutes to 1 hour.

A ligature lift is recommended for patients with ptosis (drooping) of the soft tissues and muscles of the neck and slight sagging of the skin. The technique allows you to make the chin-cervical angle more pronounced.

Liposuction of the chin and neck

Most often, the method is used to remove excess fatty tissue from the chin and neck in fairly young patients. Liposuction can also solve the problem of a double chin.

Excess fatty tissue is removed with special thin cannulas through small punctures under the chin and behind the earlobes. Liposuction is successfully combined with all types of plastic surgery of the lower third of the face, chin and neck area.

Churchcoplasty

This type of neck and chin lift involves excision of excess skin through surgical approaches under the chin and behind the ears. After tightening and fixing the skin, an elastic bandage is applied to the intervention area to avoid tissue swelling.

Simultaneously with this neck skin tightening, other anti-aging procedures can be performed: face lift, liposuction.

Mentoplasty

The technique of performing chin plastic surgery (implantation, thread and contour chin plastic surgery, liposuction, bone grafting) depends on the task facing the surgeon.

Thus, chin augmentation in patients with a small or sloping chin can be performed by injecting one’s own fat, fillers and threads, or endoprostheses.

In endoprosthetics, the desired shape or size of the chin is achieved by installing sponge or silicone implants under the skin.

A thread chin lift is effective when it is necessary to eliminate the effects of sagging soft tissues and skin. In some cases, thread lifting may be an alternative to endoprosthetics.

Chin contouring

Chin contouring (that is, chin correction with fillers) is another effective non-surgical technique. The obvious advantages of the technique include low trauma and almost instantaneous results, while the disadvantages include the temporary effect.

Chin reduction is often resorted to by women who complain that an excessively “heavy” or protruding chin disrupts the overall harmony of their face.

If the problem is excess subcutaneous fat and skin, liposuction and techniques that involve excision of excess skin and soft tissue come to the rescue. This intervention can be performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia.

In cases where chin bone grafting or corrective osteotomy is required, the operation is performed in a hospital by maxillofacial and plastic surgeons.
