Double Chin
Double chin is a term used to describe the roundness that forms under the chin, which can be caused by fat accumulation or hereditary factors.
This condition, often considered unsightly, can weigh down the face and give the impression of a sagging neck. This condition affects both sexes equally, as men are just as affected as women.
Several factors can explain the appearance of a double chin, and while it is not always easy to eliminate naturally, there are medical-aesthetic solutions offered at Victoria Park Medispa that can permanently remove it.
Double chin and its causes:
the expression of multiple factors
It is often mistakenly believed that double chin only affects people who suffer from obesity. While being overweight can be a cause, this condition also affects people who are at a healthy weight. In reality, several factors can contribute to the development of a double chin. First, the aging of the body and face. With age, the skin loses its elasticity: this loss in the face is enough to create a double chin. Heredity can also play a role and lead to fat storage under the chin. Finally, certain health issues, such as thyroid dysfunction and salivary gland inflammation, as well as poor posture or a particular anatomy, can create the appearance of a double chin.
Healthy lifestyle habits—diet, physical activity, sleep, hygiene—can slow down the process of skin sagging that causes double chin. These methods can improve facial firmness, but the fat under the chin may remain stubborn despite all efforts. For patients wondering how to get rid of their double chin, medical-aesthetic treatments are a viable option. At Victoria Park Medispa, double chin is treated with several types of procedures: medical-aesthetic health professionals offer double chin surgery or double chin liposuction.

Double chin: treatments
Depending on the severity of the condition, two options are available: the non-surgical Belkyra treatment and liposuction. Both treatments guarantee excellent results. The Belkyra treatment, approved by Health Canada, is recommended for people with mild to moderate double chin. This injection-based treatment gradually and permanently dissolves subcutaneous fat. As for double chin liposuction, it is the best solution to remove fat and sculpt the affected area. This double chin surgery leaves no visible scar.
To achieve optimal results, specialists customize each treatment plan according to the extent of the condition and the patient’s goals. A Belkyra treatment lasts approximately 20 minutes and may require up to 6 sessions, with a one-month interval between each treatment. Results are visible in just 2 to 4 sessions. Minor side effects (redness, swelling, slight bruising) are temporary. Liposuction is performed under local anesthesia: some discomfort may be felt as the anesthesia wears off. Results are permanent 5 to 6 months after surgery.

Double chin treatment:
process and advice
Whether it’s Belkyra treatment or liposuction, patients are advised to meet with the Victoria Park Medispa professional responsible for the procedure to discuss their medical history, expectations, and any concerns they may have.
This initial contact is important: it allows the medical-aesthetic health specialist to advise the patient on the most appropriate treatment based on their condition and goals. While Belkyra does not require special care before and after each session—other than applying a cold compress if needed—the same cannot be said for liposuction.
Since it is a surgery performed under local anesthesia, the patient will receive precise instructions. Before the procedure, it may be recommended to avoid certain medications and arrange for someone to accompany them home. Immediately after, it is possible to eat lightly and gradually resume activities the day after. Taking prescribed antibiotics and keeping the incisions clean are necessary actions for a quick and optimal recovery.
In summary
Double chin can be caused by aging, loss of skin elasticity, genetic predisposition, poor posture, or health issues such as thyroid disorders.
