Double Chin treatment in Zurich

You may also know lipolysis by the name of the fat-dissolving injection. In this treatment, excess fat cells are reduced – permanently. The active ingredient splits the fat molecules and metabolizes them. Usually, several treatments at intervals of a few weeks are necessary to achieve the desired result. Directly after the session, your chin is somewhat swollen. This side effect is completely normal and will decrease in the following days. After the treatment, movement and drinking plenty of water can help the fat cells break down more quickly.

We perform all treatments on an outpatient basis at our clinic in Zurich, including liposuction to remove the double chin. First, your skin is prepared, cleansed, and, if necessary, lightly numbed. Then our specialists inject the active substance phosphatidylcholine (derived from soybeans) directly into the affected region using fine injection needles. We make sure to keep the procedure as pain-free as possible for you. If necessary, the treated skin area is briefly cooled after the treatment.

Sometimes PDO threads are the treatment of choice for removing a double chin. The targeted skin tightening makes the face shape appear more defined and firmer. The threads activate collagenosis in the skin – thus increasing the tension and elasticity of the tissue. The treatment is especially suitable for a small double chin and only slightly sagging skin.

Although hyaluronic fillers do not treat the actual double chin, we can use them to emphasize the chin area and cheeks and set attractive accents. If the skin is generally slack, treatment of wrinkles with polynucleotides is also an option. This treatment firms the skin structure and tightens the facial contour. However, this process takes several weeks to months. You see, the possibilities are varied – we are sure to find the method or combination treatment that fits your desires.

A double chin can develop for various reasons. The most common causes include:

• Genetic predisposition: In some people, fat naturally accumulates more in the chin area. Over time, this can lead to a double chin.
• Overweight: Excess body fat is often deposited at the chin.
• Aging process: With increasing age, the skin's elasticity decreases, and the face and chin area become more slack.
• Hormonal changes: Certain hormones promote the incorporation of fat and water into the tissue.
• Slack muscles: Sometimes, slack muscles in the chin area lead to insufficient support of the tissue. The result: A more or less pronounced double chin.
