Double Chin Treatment in Houston

Many men and women struggle with excess fat in the submental area, which is the spot where the chin and the neck meet, commonly referred to as a double chin.

Effective Double Chin Treatments

The fat in this area can be difficult to lose through diet and exercise, and is often hereditary, making it nearly impossible to reduce. There are, however, both surgical and non-surgical double chin treatment options that can help Houston residents reduce this unwanted fat, resulting in a smooth, more defined jawline. Dr. Bob Basu is a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in double chin treatment. His years of training and highly skilled professional experience makes him one of the top plastic surgeons in the area, helping men and women throughout Texas look and feel confident in their own skin.

Why Consider Double Chin Treatment?

If the appearance of a double chin is negatively affecting your self-confidence or self-image, you may be a good candidate for double chin treatment. Typically, the ideal candidate for this treatment will:

Have excess fat underneath the chin that is resistant to exercise
Desire a leaner and more well-defined jawline
Have a BMI of 40 or less
Maintain a healthy lifestyle

Whether a double chin is genetic or simply exercise-resistant, there are a variety of treatment options that can help you achieve a smoother, leaner look. Dr. Basu will work closely with you to help you determine which treatment option might be best for you.

How Much Do Double Chin Treatments Cost in Houston?

The cost of double chin treatment in Houston varies depending on the surgeon, practice and the treatment method you choose. At Basu Aesthetics + Plastic Surgery, we offer frequent special promotions for double chin treatment, as well as a variety of plastic surgery financing options to make your procedure as affordable as possible.

There are both surgical and non-surgical double chin treatments available that can offer smooth, effective results. Dr. Bob Basu will discuss your concerns with you and explain the details for your double chin treatment options, as well as help you decide which one may be most beneficial for you.

Kybella® – Non-Surgical Double Chin Treatment

Kybella® is an FDA-approved injectable designed to reduce submental fullness, commonly known as a double chin. This treatment works by targeting and breaking down fat cells under the chin, resulting in a smoother, more contoured jawline. Our providers customize each session to your unique anatomy, ensuring natural-looking results with minimal downtime. Say goodbye to stubborn under-chin fat and hello to a more defined profile.

Morpheus8 for Submental Contouring

Morpheus8 uses microneedling combined with radiofrequency energy to target fat and tighten skin under the chin. This minimally invasive treatment helps reduce the appearance of a double chin, smooth sagging skin, and stimulate collagen for a more defined, youthful jawline—all with minimal downtime.

Your Double Chin Treatment Procedure

Depending on which method of double chin treatment you choose, the details of your procedure will vary. One treatment session of Kybella typically takes less than 20 minutes, although multiple sessions may be necessary to achieve the results you desire. A CoolSculpting treatment session may take an hour or less. Submental liposuction can take as little as 45 minutes to complete, and will include a local anesthetic. A small incision will be made under the chin, allowing Dr. Basu to remove excess fat from the submental area, resulting in a smoother and more contoured appearance.

Your Recovery & Results

Because Kybella is a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure, it requires little downtime. Some swelling and redness may occur immediately following your treatment, but these symptoms should subside on their own over the next few days. Throughout the weeks following your procedure, as swelling and redness diminish, you should begin to see your final results taking shape.

After your CoolSculpting session, you can immediately resume your activities. Some slight swelling or bruising may occur, but should subside in several days. The results from your non-invasive, non-surgical CoolSculpting treatment will begin to take shape over the course of the following weeks, with final results noticeable 12 weeks after your procedure.

Following submental liposuction, most people can typically return to their normal daily activities with 5 to 7 days. Some bruising, swelling and redness may remain for 1 to 2 weeks following the procedure, but as these subside, your final results will reveal your contoured new look.
