Dr. Ghafoori offers several surgical, as well as non-surgical options, for the reduction of the under-chin (sub-mental) fullness, also called the "double chin," including Liposuction, in which the fatty deposits are removed with suctioning through small stab wounds; Necklift (cervicoplasty) or a lower Facelift in which the fat is removed by direct excision, and the neck is furthered contoured by tightening the neck muscle and skin through an incision beneath the chin and sometimes behind the ear; and Kybella(R) injections, in which an acid is injected during an office procedure to dissolve the fat pad.
