Overview
What is Double chin removal?
Double chin removal refines the area under the chin and along the jawline. Options range from non-surgical treatment to a minor procedure such as chin liposuction, depending on your anatomy.
We assess whether fullness comes from fat, loose skin or the shape of the jaw, then explain what is realistic. Sometimes jawline filler is the better choice.
