Double Chin Treatment

Double Chin Treatment In Kolkata

A double chin, medically termed submental fat, is a common concern caused by excess fat accumulation beneath the chin. This condition not only impacts appearance but can also lead to complications like poor self-esteem, neck pain, and difficulty with certain movements. Treatment options range from non-invasive procedures like Kybella injections to more invasive methods like liposuction, aiming to reduce fat and redefine the jawline.

If you're considering treatment for a double chin, reach out to us or book a direct appointment with our plastic surgeon. At the CMRI Hospital Kolkata, we are dedicated to ensuring that your double chin treatment is as safe, comfortable, and effective as possible. We're here to guide you every step of the way toward a successful recovery.

What are the risks if a double chin is not treated timely? 

If a double chin is left untreated, several risks can develop, like:

  • Increased fat accumulation: The fat deposit causing the double chin may continue to accumulate.
  • Reduced skin elasticity: The prolonged presence of a double chin can lead to skin stretching and reduced elasticity.
  • Premature ageing appearance: A prominent double chin can make a person appear older due to sagging skin and fat.
  • Self-esteem impact: It can affect self-image and confidence, leading to psychological distress.
  • Health concerns: Excess fat in this area can contribute to overall weight gain and associated health risks.

Seeking timely treatment is important to prevent these consequences and may involve lifestyle changes, cosmetic procedures, or targeted exercises to address the double chin and related risks. Consulting with a healthcare provider is recommended for personalised advice and intervention.
