The chin plays a significant role in contouring the face. Clear and well-defined facial features are perceived as particularly attractive. However, a double chin blurs this contouring, making the face appear older. Many sufferers find their face less attractive due to a double chin, especially if it persists despite a healthy diet and exercise. In this case, double chin surgery in Stuttgart can help to remove the excess fat deposits or sagging skin caused by ageing and give the face a new contour. The result: the face appears more harmonious, clearer and more youthful overall, contributing to a new sense of well-being and self-confidence.

 

Who is double chin removal suitable for?

A double chin operation in Stuttgart is suitable for anyone who has a stubborn double chin despite a healthy diet, sufficient exercise and a near-normal weight and for whom non-invasive methods have not led to the desired results. The prerequisite for double chin removal in Stuttgart is a minimum age of 18 years and a good general state of health. In addition, it must be ensured that double chin surgery can actually achieve the desired result. The natural anatomy in the area where the head meets the neck does not always allow for successful liposuction and skin tightening. We would be happy to advise you in our practice in Stuttgart on the options with the best chances of success.

What should be considered before double chin removal in Stuttgart?

Before any operation, including double chin removal, it is important to stop taking blood-thinning medication to avoid complications during the procedure. Please inform us in good time of any pre-existing conditions and medication that you regularly take so that we can discuss the procedure and any adjustments before the operation in Stuttgart.

How does double chin removal in Stuttgart work?

Before each treatment, we will hold a detailed consultation with you in our practice in Stuttgart, in which we will present the various options and the best treatment options for you. Once you have decided on double chin removal (liposuction and/or skin tightening), we will explain the procedure in Stuttgart and inform you about possible risks and side effects.

The operation is usually performed in Stuttgart under local or general anesthesia. As soon as the anesthetic takes effect, we inject a special solution that loosens the fat cells. This makes it easier to detach them from the tissue and suction them out using fine cannulas. If necessary, a skin tightening procedure is then performed to remove the excess skin after liposuction.

As soon as the swelling has subsided, the changes achieved by the operation are already clearly visible. However, the skin still needs a while to fully retract. The final result of double chin removal in Stuttgart is usually visible after around 3-6 months.

What should be considered after double chin removal in Stuttgart?

The success of double chin removal depends not only on the expertise and experience of the surgeon, but also on good aftercare. In order to best support the result and the healing process, the tissue must be supported after liposuction. This is done with the help of a compression mask, which must be worn consistently for the first few days after the operation.

What are the risks of double chin removal?

Every surgical procedure carries certain risks, including double chin surgery. These include swelling, bruising and pain. In most cases, the latter can be treated very well with commercially available painkillers. There may also be temporary feelings of numbness, which, like swelling and bruising, usually subside on their own after a short time.

How long do the results of double chin surgery last?

Surgical procedures aim to achieve permanent changes. Provided that your weight remains unchanged and you protect your skin from direct sunlight and other negative influences (e.g. nicotine), the results of double chin surgery are permanent.

How much does double chin removal cost in Stuttgart?

Double chin removal can vary in complexity depending on its severity. Accordingly, the costs for the procedure in Stuttgart can also vary considerably. After the preliminary examination and personal consultation, we will of course provide you with a cost plan that transparently lists all the costs incurred for the treatment. We will of course be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Frequently asked questions about double chin removal in Stuttgart

If the skin under the chin bulges strongly, it looks as if there is a second chin underneath. This is why it is referred to as a double chin. The bulging of the skin can have several causes. It can be genetic, but in most cases it is a side effect of being overweight and/or age-related sagging of the skin.

If you have a family history of this, it is almost impossible to prevent a double chin. However, if you are not predisposed, you can avoid a double chin by consistently paying attention to your body weight and good skin care. This means: maintain a normal weight, avoid alcohol and nicotine and make sure you use good sun protection. This will prevent excessive skin ageing and larger fat deposits in the chin area.

This depends on what caused it. If excess weight is the cause of the double chin, it will disappear again if you lose weight. However, if there is a genetic predisposition to a double chin, the fat deposits may persist even at a normal weight.

During double chin surgery in Stuttgart, fat is specifically removed from the area between the head and neck. The removal of tissue makes the chin area narrower, which is clearly noticeable visually. The face regains clearer contours, making it appear fresher and younger overall. What's more, the results of double chin removal in Stuttgart are permanent - provided you maintain your weight.

The duration of double chin removal in Stuttgart can vary individually. However, experience has shown that a double chin operation in our practice in Stuttgart takes 1 to 2 hours.
