Overview
Liposuction below the chin, also called ‘double chin liposuction’, is one of the best ways to create a more slim face and to improve your overall facial appearance.
The doctor removes unnecessary fat from the double chin area, which makes you look much slimmer and tightens the overall upper neck and double chin area.
Double Chin Liposuction is especially good if you want to remove stubborn fat that does not go away, even after dieting.
