If you want to improve your appearance but have a busy schedule, there are cosmetic treatments that you can do in less than an hour. Many plastic surgeons offer non-invasive procedures that do not take much time out of your day to complete. Plus, these procedures are discrete and do not require downtime after. Here are six cosmetic treatments you can have done on your lunch break at a med spa or plastic surgeon’s office.

  1. Lip enhancement. Want fuller lips? Dermal filler injections can enhance your lips, giving you immediate results in less than a hour.
  2. Frown line treatment. Do you have the “11” forming between your eyebrows or vertical lines on your forehead? Botox injections can diminish these lines, only requiring a quick visit.
  3. Cheek contouring. Add more volume and contours to your cheeks for a more youthful appearance with cheek fillers.
  4. Diminish eye bags. Facial filler injections can add volume to upper cheeks and fill tear troughs to reduce the appearance of eye bags.
  5. Smooth smile and marionette lines. Filler injections can smooth away smile lines around the nose or marionette lines drooping down from the corner of the mouth.
  6. Reduce a double chin. If you have a double chin and want to reduce fat under your chin, Kybella injections can be performed on your lunch break. These injections breakdown fat cells to slim your chin.

Cosmetic treatments do not need to cut into your busy lifestyle. Many procedures can be completed quickly and without downtime. Contact a facial plastic surgeon that offers non-invasive treatments to schedule a quick lunch break procedure to help you look your best.

Reducing a Double Chin without Surgery

Comments Off on Reducing a Double Chin without Surgery

Does your jaw or chin lack definition due to fatty tissue under the chin? The ‘double chin’ is a common problem for both men and women, impacting the overall appearance of their neck and face. While liposuction surgery can remove excess fat tissue, it also requires recovery and downtime. Another option is Kybella injections, the non-surgical option to reduce a double chin.

What Is Kybella?

Kybella is a synthetic form of a bio-acid that breaks down fat cells in the body. This substance attacks the cellular walls of fat cells, destroying them completely. When injected into fatty areas, the fat cells disintegrate and the fat inside the cells is absorbed into the bloodstream. Since fat cells do not regenerate, once they are gone, they do not return.

How Does It Work?

Kybella injections are designed specifically to help with small fatty deposits like those that create a double chin. A few injections are placed in the area by a plastic surgeon and the bio acid goes to work on destroying the fat cells. Over several weeks, the chin and neck area begin to shrink in size as the fat cells disappear. Depending on the extent of the fatty tissue, additional injections may be needed to obtain the desired effect. Except for slight tenderness or possible bruising after the procedure, there are few known negative side effects of this procedure.

If you are interested in slimming down your chin and neck area to improve your appearance, contact a local plastic surgeon that offers Kybella injections. In just a few weeks you can begin noticing a more defined chin and profile for a more attractive and youthful appearance.

Options for Reducing a Double Chin

November 8th, 2018 Posted in Liposuction
Comments Off on Options for Reducing a Double Chin

Excess fat under the chin and on the neck can create the appearance of a double chin. Many people have extra fat under the chin, even if they are not overweight. This can make the face look chubby and reduce definition of the chin and jaw. There are two main solutions for reducing the appearance of a double chin: liposuction and Kybella injections. Here are the differences in the procedures for those who may be looking for options to reduce the look of a double chin.

Liposuction

For permanent, targeted fat reduction, liposuction can be used to remove fat cells. Liposuction can remove fat pockets from both under the chin and in the neck area. In most cases, a compression garment is worn for a few days after the procedure to help the skin and tissue reform and tighten. Once the swelling and bruising subsides, the results will be noticeable, usually within two weeks.

Kybella

To destroy fat cells without surgery, Kybella injections can be used for reduction of a double chin. Kybella dissolves fat cells, which are absorbed by the body. It can take more than one treatment of Kybella to get the results desired, usually a month or more apart. While Kybella is less invasive, it can only reduce fat under the chin, not in the neck area. The results are subtler and can take longer to achieve versus liposuction.

Both options can be beneficial for enhancing the definition of the chin and reducing fat. To determine which is best for you, contact a plastic surgeon that offers both at their clinic. They can perform an exam and explain the differences for achieving the results you desire based on your physical attributes.

Improving Your Chin and Neck Without Surgery

May 17th, 2018 Posted in Injectables
Comments Off on Improving Your Chin and Neck Without Surgery

Many people focus on the changes that happen to the facial skin from aging, but the skin and tissue below the face changes as well. Double chins, a “turkey gobble’ and wrinkled chest skin can belie your age, even when you have minimized aging signs on your face. There are options to improve your chin, neck and neckline with non-surgical cosmetic procedures. Here are a few ways to address common issue from the chin to the neckline.

Double Chin

Do you have fat deposits under the chin? The double chin is a common issue that can detract from the definition of the jaw and chin. Kybella injections can break down chin fat deposits, shrinking the double chin and improving the overall appearance of your face.

Loose Neck Skin

Sagging skin on the neck is the first stage of creating the “turkey gobble” that most people want to avoid. You can tighten the skin on the neck without a neck lift with options like laser treatments, ultrasound or radiofrequency techniques for a more youthful appearance.

Smoothing “Crepey” Skin on the Neckline

Does the skin on your upper chest have a “crepey” or wrinkled appearance? Improve your neckline with cosmetic options like chemical peels, laser therapy, ultrasound or microneedling. This can improve the tightness, texture and elasticity of the skin for a more youthful appearance for your neckline.

If you want to explore options to improve the appearance of your face, chin, neck and upper chest skin, schedule a consultation with a facial plastic surgeon that offer non-surgical procedures. They can advise you on the best options for creating a more youthful look for your skin.

Surgical and Non-Surgical Options for a Double Chin

February 17th, 2018 Posted in Cosmetic Surgery
Comments Off on Surgical and Non-Surgical Options for a Double Chin

Do you have an extra chin that is hovering below your actual chin? Excess fat under the chin, or the “double chin,” affects both men and women of all ages. This can make the face look chubby and detracts from the jaw and neck line. To remove the double chin, there are surgical and non-surgical options available through plastic surgery clinics. Here are the solutions for removing your double or extra chin.

Plastic Surgery for Double Chins

The double chin can be removed through surgical procedures. For younger people with fatty deposits under the chin, liposuction can be used to remove the extra fat and help define the chin and neck. Older men and women with a double chin may have both fat and excess or sagging skin that needs removal and tightening. A neck lift, which removes the fat through liposuction and tightens the sagging skin, may be the best option for aging double chins.

Non-Surgical Option for Reducing the Double Chin

There is a non-surgical option for reducing fat deposits under the chin. Kybella is an injectable treatment for double chins. This medication is injected into the fat deposits under the chin and attacks the fat cells; the cells disintegrate and are reabsorbed into the body. The fatty area under the chin shrinks, revealing a more defined chin and thinner neck area without the need for surgery. However, Kybella will not tighten sagging skin, which may need surgical lifting once the fat deposits disappear.

If you have a double chin, there are options available to remove those fatty deposits and loose skin. Contact your local facial plastic surgeon to discuss the surgical and non-surgical solutions for double chins.
