The area under the chin is an area we also define as a double chin. With the advancement of age and the effect of gravity, like all tissues, the subcutaneous muscle and fat tissues in the area we call the double chin begin to sag downward. The jowl area is the first place where fat is collected in weight gain. In some patients, the jowl area may be excessively fatty even though there is no body obesity. This causes the patient to look overweight, old and tired. However, the biggest cause of sagging in the jowl area is aging. It is one of the factors that increase the old appearance on the face the most.

You can leave the hospital on the same day or stay in the hospital for 1 night.
A special bandage is applied under the chin.
Depending on the operation performed, it can return to normal life in 2-8 days.
1- In cases where the sagging in the jowl area is due to excess weight, the excess fat is removed only by liposuction method and the fat that makes the jowl sag is removed. It gives good results when applied to people who are not advanced in age and slightly overweight.
2- If the sagging is accompanied by both muscles and excess fat, it is necessary to remove the fat and gather the muscles. Excess fat in this area is removed with a 2-3 cm incision under the chin, and the loosened muscles are repaired by bringing them closer to the midline. In the same session, in cases where the chin tip is small, a small prosthesis is placed on the chin tip to improve the aesthetic structure of the face.
3- If the sagging is accompanied by muscles, fat and skin, the method of removing excess skin and stretching it should be applied. As in the facelift operation, the incision starts in front of the ear and extends up to the scalp behind the ear and is lifted up to the part of the neck skin under the chin. The lifted skin is stretched towards the ear edge.
