Double Chin Treatment at Elyzee Hospital, Abu Dhabi — Say Goodbye to Submental Fullness

Submental fullness (commonly known as a double chin) affects many people regardless of age or body weight and can undermine facial harmony and confidence. Elyzee Hospital in Abu Dhabi offers a full spectrum of evidence-based treatments — from FDA-approved injectables to targeted liposuction and neck lift procedures — to reduce submental fat, tighten lax skin, and restore a defined jawline.

Benefits of Double Chin Treatment

  • Improved facial contour: Reduction of submental fat and skin tightening creates a sharper jawline and smoother transition between the face and neck.
  • Boosted confidence: Patients frequently report increased self-esteem and greater satisfaction with their profile after treatment.
  • Youthful appearance: Treating submental fullness restores a more youthful, balanced facial proportion.
  • Range of options: Treatments can be tailored — non-surgical, minimally invasive, or surgical — according to anatomy, goals, and downtime preferences.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Good candidates are adults bothered by submental fullness who are in generally good health. Ideal candidates include those with:

  • Localized fat beneath the chin with reasonably good skin elasticity (good candidates for injectables or liposuction).
  • Excess skin or pronounced muscle banding in the neck (may be better suited to a neck lift or combined procedures).
  • Realistic expectations and commitment to follow pre- and post-treatment guidance from the Elyzee Hospital team.

Consultation and Assessment

Your evaluation at Elyzee Hospital begins with a private consultation where the plastic surgeon or aesthetic specialist will:

  • Review medical history, current medications, and prior facial procedures.
  • Assess submental anatomy: fat distribution, skin laxity, platysma muscle bands, and jawline structure.
  • Discuss treatment options, expected outcomes, number of sessions (if applicable), recovery time, and costs.

Treatment Options — What Happens During the Procedure

1. Non-Surgical Injectables (e.g., Deoxycholic Acid: Kybella / Belkyra)

  • Performed as an in-office procedure with topical numbing. The clinician injects carefully planned doses into the submental fat.
  • The deoxycholic acid destroys fat cell membranes; the body clears the treated cells over several weeks.
  • Multiple sessions (typically 1–4) spaced several weeks apart may be required for optimal contouring.

2. Minimally Invasive Liposuction

  • Under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia depending on the extent, a small incision is made under the chin.
  • Tumescent fluid is injected to minimize bleeding, then a micro-cannula removes unwanted fat with sculpting to refine the jawline.
  • Often combined with energy-assisted technologies (e.g., radiofrequency) or superficial skin tightening for enhanced results.

3. Neck Lift (Platysmaplasty / Lower Rhytidectomy)

  • Recommended when excess skin, loose platysma muscle bands, or significant descent of tissue are present.
  • Procedure may include platysma tightening, skin excision, and strategic liposuction to restore a smooth neck contour.
  • Performed under general anesthesia in an accredited surgical environment at Elyzee Hospital.

After the Procedure & Recovery

Recovery depends on the chosen technique:

  • Injectables: Minimal downtime — expect swelling, firmness, or temporary numbness for several days to weeks. Most patients resume normal activities immediately.
  • Liposuction: Mild-to-moderate swelling and bruising for 1–2 weeks; a compression strap or garment is typically worn for several days to support healing.
  • Neck lift: Longer recovery with 1–2 weeks of downtime and more intensive wound care; sutures and drains may be used temporarily.

Across all options, follow your surgeon’s instructions on head elevation, cold compresses, medications, and activity restrictions to speed recovery and optimize outcomes.

Expected Results

Initial improvement is often noticeable within days to weeks, while final contouring becomes apparent as swelling subsides and tissues settle — usually over 1–3 months. Results vary by method and individual healing but can be long-lasting when combined with healthy weight maintenance and proper skin care.

Risks & Considerations

Every procedure carries potential risks which will be discussed during consultation. These may include bleeding, infection, asymmetry, contour irregularities, temporary nerve irritation or numbness, scarring, or insufficient fat reduction. Choosing an experienced surgeon at Elyzee Hospital and adhering to aftercare lowers complication rates.
