Double chin rejuvenation with thread lifts is a non-surgical procedure performed to tighten and lift sagging skin in the double chin area and improve its appearance. The double chin, also known as a double chin, is a common problem that can appear as we age.
How is a double chin rejuvenation performed with thread lifts?
Below, we explain the general steps involved in the double chin rejuvenation procedure:
- Local anesthesia: Before beginning the double chin rejuvenation procedure, local anesthesia is applied to the double chin area to reduce any discomfort or pain.
- Insertion of the thread lifts: the next step is the placement of the thread lifts through small incisions in the skin under the chin. These threads, made of biocompatible material, are inserted beneath the skin using a special needle. Thanks to their tiny barbs, they anchor to the tissue, effectively lifting and tightening the skin.
- Adjusting the threads: once the threads have been inserted, they are adjusted to achieve the desired result. This may involve pulling the threads in different directions to tighten the skin or knotting them to ensure they stay in place.
- Closing the incisions: after adjusting the sutures, the incisions are closed with stitches or skin adhesives.
- Recovery: After the double chin rejuvenation procedure, the patient may experience some discomfort in the area, but these symptoms usually disappear within a few days. The person can return to their normal activities within a short period of time, although it is recommended to avoid any vigorous physical activity for a few days.
Why does a double chin appear?
There are several factors that can contribute to its onset, including:
- Loss of skin elasticity: As we age, our skin loses its natural elasticity, which can cause the skin under the chin to loosen and sag.
- Fat accumulation: Fat accumulation in the double chin area can also be a factor. Over time, the body may begin to store fat in this area, which can cause the skin to stretch and a double chin to appear.
- Genetics: Genetics can also play a significant role in the development of a double chin. If your family has a history of developing a double chin, you are more likely to develop one as well.
- Loss of muscle tone: Weakening of the jaw and neck muscles can also cause a double chin to develop. Over time, these muscles can lose their tone and firmness, which can cause the skin under the chin to sag.
- Posture: Poor posture, such as slouching your shoulders or frequently tilting your head forward, can also cause a double chin. This can affect muscle tone and skin elasticity in the neck and jaw area.
- Weight gain: Weight gain can cause fat to accumulate in the neck and jaw area, which can lead to the appearance of a double chin.
