Double chin removal in Frankfurt

Yes, depending on the findings, there are procedures without classic surgery. With hyaluronic acid, the jawline can be contoured more clearly without removing fatty tissue, which suits mild skin laxity without much fat. Injection lipolysis gradually dissolves small to medium fat deposits, usually in 2 to 4 sessions, and a minimally invasive laser procedure acts on fat cells and skin at the same time. Larger amounts of fat or a lot of excess skin are more likely candidates for liposuction or a lift. Dr. Nichlos will choose the approach after the examination.

Yes, at least to a certain degree. Watch your weight with a healthy diet and enough exercise, and reduce excess weight. Counteract signs of skin aging with good skin care and sun protection. These tips lower the risk of a double chin, but with a corresponding genetic predisposition they cannot always prevent it. In these cases, medical removal of the double chin is usually the only option.

The fat-dissolving injection breaks down small fat deposits through targeted injections and works gradually, which makes it suitable for mild to moderate findings. Liposuction is a surgical procedure in which fat cells are removed. It is particularly suitable for a larger excess of fat and offers a long-term stable result, provided your body weight stays constant.

Usually not. The treatment is mostly performed under local anesthesia, so you generally feel nothing during the treatment. For injections, numbing cream or local anesthesia is often enough. In some cases, we perform the treatment under twilight sedation or general anesthesia (e.g. facelift). After surgical procedures, wound pain can occur, but it responds well to standard pain relievers.

That depends on the method. With a hyaluronic acid injection and the fat-dissolving injection, no visible scars are left on the chin or face. With liposuction and Endolift®, there are only small puncture points or tiny incisions, which usually heal well and are barely visible later. With a neck lift or a facelift with neck tightening, however, scars remain, which are usually placed in the most inconspicuous spots possible.

That depends on the cause and the treatment method. With liposuction, the fat cells are removed and cannot form again. However, if you gain weight again, the remaining fat cells can grow larger, including under the chin. The skin under the chin can also become looser with age and create a “new” double chin. After treatment, however, this risk is significantly lower than without treatment.

That depends on the cause. In many cases, a double chin accompanies excess weight, and then it is worth looking at diet and exercise first. Genetic fat pads, a double chin despite normal weight, or excess skin after weight loss, on the other hand, often barely respond to diets or exercise. In these cases, a medical procedure can make sense.

Removing a double chin is usually an aesthetic procedure whose cost health insurance does not cover. Dr. Nichlos runs a purely private practice without statutory health insurance accreditation: he treats self-pay patients regardless of the indication, and privately insured patients when there is a medical indication. The cost depends on the chosen method, and you can find an overview on the pricing page.
