This is a surgical operation to correct the shape of the chin. Chin plastic surgery can be aimed at either reducing an overly protruding chin or enlarging it, as well as changing its contour in order to give the face greater symmetry and improve the profile.
Mentoplasty is performed when:
- Congenital defects of the chin (anatomical form);
- Age-related changes in the chin area;
- Chin injury;
- Irregular chin shape;
- Insufficient development of the chin;
- Disharmony of the chin with other facial features.
Chin fat not going away?
Sometimes getting rid of a double chin on your own can be an impossible task. Did the method described above not help you?
The list of probable causes is short:
- You expected to get the result very quickly, literally “tomorrow”.
- You don't have enough time to do double chin exercises and exercise every day.
- The chin was inherited from my parents.
- You are over 40 years old. At this age, loose skin on the chin practically does not tighten on its own and spoils the oval of the face even after massive weight loss.
- You have Central Asian, Caucasian or Slavic roots. The facial structure of these nations physiologically predisposes them to the appearance of a double chin even at a very early age.
But don't be upset. There are several extremely effective ways to remove a double chin quickly and without plastic surgery. Removing the double chin with lipolytic drugs will help.
Chin augmentation techniques:
If chin augmentation is necessary, several techniques can be used, depending on the tasks and the anatomy of the jaw.
Installation of an artificial implant:
Modern maxillofacial prostheses are made from elastic, but very strong, reliable and inert materials, so that the risk of an allergic reaction or rejection is minimized. Implants are available in different shapes and sizes, but they can be custom-made for a specific patient. The surgeon makes a small incision from the inside - from the mucous membrane, and forms a special pocket where the implant is tightly installed. The incision is sutured and no external traces of the operation remain. Similar to an implant, the patient’s own cartilage tissue can be used. It is usually taken from the costal or ear cartilage and is installed in the same way from the inside into the formed pocket.
Augmentation osteotomy of the mandible:
Chin correction can be performed using an osteotomy. In this case, a fragment of bone is cut off and moved anteriorly if the chin needs to be enlarged or repositioned from below when reduction is necessary. When an operation is performed on the patient's bone, the fragments are fixed with titanium plates, and the seam still remains invisible because it is located under the jaw.
Chin lipofilling:
In some cases, it is enough to visually enlarge the chin with lipofilling - using the patient’s own fat taken from the abdomen, thighs, buttocks or “double chin”, if any. A few injections and the face takes on the harmonious, desired shape. Also, lipofilling can be used to complement any type of correction, be it osteotomy or implant installation, if the surgeon considers it necessary to level out the resulting void or remove asymmetry.
Michelangelo (Michelangelo)
New Italian cocktail. Unsurpassedly effective. Well tolerated. His reputation is as impeccable as the creations of the Maestro who gave him his name . It deservedly holds and is not going to give up the title of drug No. 1 in European Union clinics to anyone.

Injections for double chin Michelangelo is used for significant volumes between the chin and neck.
It will take about 4-6 procedures with an interval of 8-10 days. Sign up »
Review from Sergei, 35 years old:
“I went to the clinic regarding figure correction: stomach, back, sides, the so-called “lifebuoy.” I want to share with you my results after introducing the Italian cocktail Michelangelo
(
Michelangelo
). This is unreal!! In just two procedures, the waist size visually decreased (before the procedure 89 cm, after 87 cm), weight (up to 76.1 kg, after 74.6 kg). Easy and unobtrusive, without grueling trips to the gym - a very good result in a short time!”
How is the operation performed?
On the scheduled day, in the morning on an empty stomach, the patient enters the clinic, the surgeon performs preliminary markings in the ward, and they are sent to the operating room.
Depending on the technique used, the operation takes from 1 to 2.5 hours. Often, patients combine chin surgery with other facial interventions, which is convenient both from an economic point of view and in terms of recovery. After plastic surgery, the patient is put on a compression bandage and left for a day in the clinic under observation.
Chin slimming with INNO-TDS
The Spanish drug INNO-TDS Draining ppc was created specifically to target fat traps, one of which is the fat under the chin.
It specifically destroys the membranes of fat cells and transforms solid fat into an emulsion that is easily processed by the body. Therefore, INNO-TDS eliminates even those local fat deposits that cannot be eliminated through fitness and diet.
It will take from 4 to 6 procedures with an interval of 14 days each. Sign up »
Recovery period:
Mentoplasty is a low-traumatic operation, but requires care in the postoperative period. During augmentation surgery, it is important to allow a pocket to form that will tightly hold the implant. Therefore, the pressure bandage must be worn for about three weeks. At this time you need to sleep on your back, limit facial movements, and do not go to the sauna. Within three days, the patient may experience pain, especially when chewing, notice hematomas and swelling, which will then go away on their own. If stitches are applied, they are usually removed within 7-10 days. If access was made through the oral mucosa, you need to follow a diet - do not eat hot, very cold, spicy, and in any case avoid solid foods.
Aqualix: a new alternative to liposuction
Expert comment:
“The drug Aqualix was created by a Spanish professor of plastic surgery specifically for the correction of fatty areas on the face and body that are not amenable to weight loss.
It is injected through cannulas into the fat layer and destroys fat cells.
Using Aqualyx intralipotherapy, the surgeon achieves the same effect as after liposuction without an operating room, pain and anesthesia in literally 2-4 procedures.”
Maxim Vasiliev, plastic surgeon.
Review:
“To be honest, I didn’t even try to lose weight. My weight suits me quite well. But the “pillow” between the chin and neck is not.
I chose double chin injections as a method of solving the problem for one reason - it’s simple. No need to put in any effort
.
On Friday I asked to leave early and had injections in my chin. Of course, a little pleasant. But Anya has a light hand.
Saturday morning I woke up, stretched as usual, yawned - and my chin literally sunk into my neck. Such a pleasant and long-forgotten feeling!!! It was worth a little patience for this!”
Olga, 34 years old.
Sometimes simply removing a double chin with injections is not enough. The sagging skin fold left after getting rid of fat requires attention.
Strengthening your chin will help: myostimulation, microcurrent therapy, massage and the elastin Japanese cocktail “Sakura”, which is prepared individually each time for the needs of your skin.
Chin reduction techniques:
Chin reduction surgery (genioplasty) is most often resorted to by women due to dissatisfaction with the shape of the lower jaw or the presence of a skin-fat fold.
Reducing osteotomy of the mandible:
Osteotomy is also performed to reduce the chin. The “extra” bone fragment is cut off, polished if necessary, brought to the desired shape and repositioned with a posterior displacement using titanium plates. After surgery, the stitches are placed under the jaw.
Double chin liposuction:
To correct a double chin, liposuction is performed on the lower side of the jaw using a vacuum or radiofrequency method. Only a few punctures remain, which then quickly heal, and if there was no significant amount of subcutaneous fat, the skin quickly restores its elasticity, begins to fit tightly to the jaw and the face takes on neat features.

Chin plastic surgery recovery after surgery:
The patient can be discharged within 24 hours after the operation. For a month or two, restrictions on physical activity and contact sports are established. It is not recommended to take a hot bath, go to the sauna or solarium in the first weeks. A bandage or special mask is worn for 5-7 days after surgery and can be easily hidden under a scarf. The patient will be able to go out in public a week after the operation. Swelling of the soft tissues in the chin area can last up to two weeks. However, the final result can be assessed after two to three months.
Prevention of a double chin
The formation of a double chin can be prevented by timely preventive measures.
- Monitor the proper formation and functioning of the chewing-speech apparatus, and visit the orthodontist in a timely manner.
- Control your weight: eat well and properly, avoid sudden changes in body weight.
- Exercise, paying attention to maintaining correct posture.
- Give up the habit of sleeping on high pillows and reading in bed.
- Perform self-massage and special exercises to strengthen the muscles of the face and neck.
- Regularly care for the skin of your neck and décolleté: apply masks and/or compresses twice a week.
The best results can be obtained with an integrated approach, combining prevention with rejuvenating procedures using modern injection and hardware techniques. Experienced specialists at the ROSH clinic develop an individual program for the prevention and correction of a double chin for each patient.
Exercises to eliminate a double chin
Performing special facial gymnastics is important both in the presence of contraindications for the methods described above for correcting a double chin, and for consolidating the result after their use or preventing the recurrence of the problem. But before you start exercising, you need to consult a cosmetologist.
Now in the public domain (media, Internet, etc.) there is often an overabundance of purely advertising information about various “magic exercises”, “secret gymnastics”, “miracle exercise machines” for the face and neck. Blindly copying someone else's experience does not always give a positive result, and sometimes causes significant harm. For example, if the formation of a wrinkle is associated not with weakening, but with hypertonicity of a particular muscle, additional stress on it during training can increase overstrain and aggravate the problem.
An experienced specialist, taking into account the anatomical features and causes of the aesthetic defect, will select an individual set of exercises to correct the shape of the face, strengthen or relax muscles, and reduce fat deposits in the problem area. He will show you how to correctly perform gymnastics to correct a double chin and give recommendations on the duration and intensity of training.
Advantages and disadvantages
gymnastics for the muscles of the face and neck are obvious:
- You can conduct classes anywhere and at any time;
- with a properly selected individual set of exercises, side effects and complications are excluded;
- the lifting effect will be noticeable after several months of regular training and will last for a long time if it is continued;
- the result largely depends on the state of the problem area before the start of classes; for example, it will not be possible to completely restore the elasticity of sagging skin and/or eliminate deep age wrinkles with the help of gymnastics alone.
