Double Chin Removal Surgery Program at KMB Hospital with Dr. Luknoo
Double Chin Surgery Program
This is a medical procedure that helps reduce excess fat beneath the chin, an area where fat tends to accumulate easily, resulting in a double chin and giving the face a rounder, less defined appearance with an unclear facial contour. The double chin fat removal program is one of the options that helps refine the shape of the neck and jawline for a more defined look by removing accumulated fat, and in some cases, excess skin may also be surgically removed. However, the results of the procedure may vary from person to person, depending on skin condition, the body's response, and post-operative care.
This procedure is performed by the physicians of KMB Hospital, Dr. Luknoo, under safe medical standards to help make the facial contour appear sharper and the overall appearance more balanced.
What Causes a Double Chin?
A double chin is caused by the accumulation of excess fat beneath the chin, which is commonly found in people who are overweight, eat a high-fat diet, or have a genetic tendency to gain weight easily. However, a double chin can occur even in slim individuals due to age-related sagging skin, a receding chin, or the habit of looking down for prolonged periods. These factors result in an unclear facial contour and make the face appear rounder and older.
Who Is the Double Chin Fat Removal Program Suitable For?
1. Those with a slim build but a round-looking face
Even with a body weight within the normal range, some people may have fat accumulation beneath the chin or along the jawline. Surgery in this area can help make the face appear more proportionate.
2. Those with fat accumulation beneath the chin along with excess body weight
Double chin surgery can be another option for managing the shape of the face, alongside weight control and healthy lifestyle adjustments.
3. Those aged between 20 and 50 years
People in this age range generally have good skin elasticity, so they may be more likely to see noticeable changes in facial shape after treatment.
4. Those with a short chin and fat beneath the chin
They can plan together with the physician to adjust facial proportions, such as reducing double chin fat combined with chin refinement, to make the face look more balanced.
5. Those who want a defined facial contour
For those who feel their facial contour is unclear, surgery to reduce fat beneath the chin may help give the jawline and face more dimension.
6. Those who have tried other methods without the desired results
In cases where there is a large amount of fat accumulation in the double chin area, and other methods such as injections, massage, or exercise have been tried without success, consulting a physician to plan specialized treatment may be a suitable option.

Steps of the Double Chin Fat Removal Surgery Program at KMB Hospital with Dr. Luknoo
1. Consultation with the physician
The patient will meet with the physician to discuss the double chin issue and to design the specific areas where fat is to be reduced.
2. Administration of anesthetic
The physician will administer a local anesthetic and wait for it to take effect for a short while.
3. Making the incision and surgery
The physician will make an incision beneath the chin to remove the double chin fat. If deep-layer fat embedded within the muscle is found, it will also be removed. The incision made is approximately 1-1.5 centimeters (depending on the individual).
4. Tightening the neck muscle with sutures
The physician will suture and tighten the neck muscle (Platysma) so that the skin is firm and does not sag. The result is that the double chin subsides immediately after surgery.
5. Closing the incision The surgical incision is closed with small sutures in 3-4 layers, so that the wound heals quickly and leaves a fine scar.
6. Applying medication and post-operative care
The physician will apply a special scar-prevention medication and use a compression bandage to help tighten the area beneath the chin, reducing swelling and promoting recovery.

Is the Double Chin Fat Removal Surgery Program Dangerous?
Regarding the potential risks of the double chin fat removal surgery program and how to reduce them: surgery to reduce fat beneath the chin is a procedure that requires the physician's expertise, as it carries risks such as:
- Bleeding from the surgical wound
- Swelling and bruising beneath the chin
- Numbness or a feeling of tightness in the chin area after surgery
- Wound infection in some cases
Although these conditions are uncommon, they can occur, so you should research and prepare yourself before undergoing treatment. Risks can be reduced by choosing a healthcare facility that meets standards, is fully equipped, and is staffed by an experienced team of specialist physicians, as well as by strictly following medical advice both before and after surgery, to help ensure that the recovery process proceeds safely.
After the Double Chin Fat Removal Surgery Program, Will the Double Chin Come Back?
The double chin removal surgery program is a medical procedure that helps address the problem of fat accumulation and sagging beneath the chin. The surgery reshapes the area to give a more defined facial contour and can help lift and firm the muscle and skin in that region. The results of the surgery depend on several factors, such as skin condition, age, and post-operative care. If you can maintain a stable weight over the long term, it may help reduce the chance of fat accumulating beneath the chin again. However, if your body weight increases significantly (for example, by more than 10-20 kilograms), fat may accumulate in that area again, even after having undergone surgery. Consulting a specialist physician before deciding to undergo treatment will help you obtain appropriate information and understand the various options safely.
Potential Side Effects of the Double Chin Fat Removal Surgery Program

It may take about 1 month to begin seeing initial results. The small incision, approximately 1-1.5 centimeters (depending on the individual), is hidden beneath the chin and will gradually fade over time.
Questions About the Double Chin Fat Removal Surgery Program
Q: Does the double chin fat removal surgery program hurt?
A: The double chin removal surgery program involves little pain, because a local anesthetic is applied to the area beneath the chin during the operation, which greatly reduces pain during surgery.

A: The results of the double chin fat removal surgery program will begin to show changes immediately after surgery, with the facial contour starting to look more defined and the double chin reduced.

Once the wound heals well and the swelling subsides, the face will gradually become firmer.
Q: Is the incision from the double chin fat removal surgery program large?
A: The double chin fat removal surgery program leaves a small incision, approximately 1-1.5 centimeters, which is hidden beneath the chin or within the fold behind the earlobe. After surgery, the wound will gradually disappear and fade within 3-6 months, without leaving a very noticeable scar.
