A double chin is the extra fold of fat between the neck and jaw. This common aesthetic concern is caused by factors such as weight gain, age, genetics, or poor posture. Minimally invasive to non-invasive or highly invasive plastic surgery procedures are now available to address double chins. In a Reader’s Digest article titled “How to Get Rid of a Double Chin: What Really Works”, Spero Theodorou, MD, founder and Surgical Director of bodySCULPT® in New York City discusses how FaceTite, a minimally invasive facelift-type procedure, works to eliminate a double chin. FaceTite uses radiofrequency to address both skin tightening as well as fat reduction in the submental area. Plastic surgeons in NYC also recommend this procedure for those with saggy skin on face and to treat areas such as the jowls, neck, naso-labial folds, cheeks and jaw line. Powered by RFAL (Radio-Frequency Assisted Lipolysis), Inmode's FaceTite is a minimally-invasive contouring solution. According to Spero Theodorou, this radiofrequency (RF) assisted liposuction work station is ideal for areas like the chin, as it is safe for treating the fat or outer layer of the skin with a very precise and controlled technology. FaceTite energy is only in the area between the two probes, which ensures that heating only occurs in a very targeted and contained area. Performed under local anesthesia, the procedure can also tighten lax skin, dramatically improving a sagging neck or double chin. This device’s built-in safeguards, including real time measurements of skin and fat temperature, impedance monitoring, power cut-off and audible feedback, promote patient safety. The procedure will thin the area of the double chin and contract the overlying skin. Patients can achieve almost all the results of a conventional face lift without undergoing an invasive surgery. Improvements begin right away, but improve over the months. “Great results are seen between the three to six months time range, and tightening can continue up to

12 months,” says Dr. Theodorou. Recovery time is also minimal, with some temporary bruising and swelling immediately after the procedure. In another Reader’s Digest article, Dr. Christopher T. Chia, MD, the surgical director of bodySCULPT®, had referred to RF as “the king of the energy modalities”. Dr. Chia highlighted the benefits of BodyTite, another RF-powered device, for tightening excess skin in the arms, tummy, and thighs. Other double chin treatment options available at bodySCULPT® include EmbraceRF, the innovative procedure that combines FaceTite and FDA-approved Morpheus8, and FDA- approved Kybella injections.
