Injection methods of correction
In some cases, to correct the second chin, it is necessary to use injection methods, namely the introduction of lipolytics, drainage preparations, botulinum toxin (dysport), sometimes plasma therapy, mesotherapy and biorevitalization are also prescribed. Injection therapies are prescribed individually, based on the anatomical features, the condition of the skin and subcutaneous fat, and the causes of the aesthetic problem. Lipolitics and drainage preparations are used in cases where the cause of the second chin is really the presence of excess adipose tissue. Lipolytic preparations are able to reduce the volume and number of fat cells, and drainage preparations remove excess fluid, reducing the swelling of this zone. The introduction of lipolytics is practically painless and does not require a recovery period. The course of therapy is at least 2-4 procedures with an interval of 7-10 days.
Sometimes the cause of the “second chin” is not at all the presence of adipose tissue, but the altered tone of the neck muscles. Only a dermatologist-cosmetologist can diagnose this problem, and, if necessary, choose the introduction of dysport as a therapy. The procedure is performed only 1 time, absolutely comfortable and painless. In such cases, as a result of therapy, not only the “second chin” disappears, but the contours of the face also change, the oval becomes clearer and more toned.
Plasma therapy, mesotherapy and biorevitalization are additional methods in the case when the effect of a “second chin” is created due to a change in the quality of the skin. Atonicity, laxity, and thinning of the skin due to ptosis often lead to this effect. The choice of injection method of therapy is carried out by a specialist, based on the individual characteristics of the patient.
Application of thread techniques
To create a clear contour of the chin and the formation of ideal and harmonious proportions of the face, thread techniques are indispensable methods. In terms of their effectiveness, they sometimes border on surgical methods for solving this problem. Implantation of threads allows not only to model an oval, mechanically remove the “second chin”, but also restore the quality of the skin. A pronounced rejuvenating effect is achieved by stimulating the synthesis of collagen, elastin and other structural elements of young skin. The procedure for placing threads is relatively comfortable and does not require a long rehabilitation period. Patients see contour changes immediately after the procedure. After 1 month, the quality of the skin noticeably improves, flabbiness disappears, fine wrinkles disappear, the skin becomes denser and toned. The final lifting effect is achieved after a few months and lasts from 1 to 3 years.
