Double chin liposuction
For fat under the chin that won't go away with diet or exercise.
A double chin can appear even in slim people, due to genetics or posture. It blurs the jawline and is bothersome in photos and video calls. Double chin liposuction removes this fat through an incision of just a few millimeters.
