Double chins may be reduced in obese and overweight people by losing weight, but complete removal typically requires surgery.
A cosmetic surgeon can remove the fat pad under the chin and shorten the muscles under the jaw to remove the double chin. This procedure involves a small horizontal cut under the chin to remove the fat beneath the skin. Afterwards, a vertical incision between the layers of the neck and jaw muscle is made. The edges are sewn together to shorten, and therefore tighten, the muscle layer.
Compared to some forms of cosmetic surgery, it is a relatively painless and moderately priced procedure; it requires two small bandages to hide. Bruising is usually minimal, and usually disappears within about ten days.
