Important Considerations
Fullness beneath the chin can have different causes, including fat distribution, skin laxity, anatomy, and other individual factors.
Not every concern requires the same treatment approach. Your provider will assess the area to determine which options may be appropriate.
Results and the number of treatments required vary depending on the treatment selected and individual response.
Temporary side effects and recovery vary by treatment. Your provider will review what to expect before you proceed.
Some concerns may be related primarily to skin laxity or anatomy rather than submental fat and may be better suited to a different treatment approach.
A consultation is required to determine whether treatment is appropriate for you.
All treatments have potential risks and side effects. During your consultation, your provider will review the benefits, limitations, expected recovery, and potential risks of the treatment options appropriate for you.
