Thread lifts: how to remove a double chin without going under the knife

Does having a double chin bother you? You are not the only one... This unsightly problem is, along with neck wrinkles, one of the most recurrent concerns in aesthetic doctors' consultations. But don't worry, we have the solution: thread lifts.

The neck is an extremely delicate area (much more so than other parts of the body) and this makes it age worse and has a greater tendency to accumulate fat, erasing the normal angle between the neck and the jaw. When this happens it is because the double chin has appeared, also known as a double chin or goose neck.

Why does the double chin occur?

There are several causes that can trigger double chin. Not all of them can be avoided, but knowing them is key to being able to prevent their appearance and combat it. Its main triggers are:

What are the best thread lifts to remove double chin?

Dr. Carmen Ayestarán recommends Silhouette Soft, polylactic acid tensor threads, a resorbable material that contains micro cones and achieves very good traction results.

For his part, Dr. Ángel Martín, Medical Director of Clínica Menorca, proposes double-needle spiculated PDO threads, which are placed in the shape of a cross to stretch the central area and provide immediate, strong and long-lasting fixation. In addition, once placed, they stimulate the production of collagen in the skin.

In both cases, once the thread lifts are inserted, they pull and provide an immediate lifting effect, although the definitive results are not seen until two or three weeks have passed. That is when the inflammation subsides and the skin adapts to the change completely.

It is a quick and painless treatment. Local anesthetic is injected at the entry and exit points. This process does not usually take more than 20 or 30 minutes. And the best of all is that after the treatment you can immediately return to your normal life.

When not to resort to tension threads

Thread lifts are an ideal option to rejuvenate and stretch the neck without resorting to a scalpel, however there are times when they are not entirely recommended. As Dr. Ayestarán explains, "there are skin types and physiognomies in which the threads could become transparent, become evident to the touch or remain unnatural". Normally, they offer good results, but it is important that the professional evaluates each case and studies the best treatment to use.

The cases in which the tension threads can pose some difficulty are:

Exercises to eliminate double chin

Another good ally against double chin is physical exercise. Practicing these neck exercises on a regular basis will help reduce the volume of your double chin.

Tilt your head back looking at the ceiling. Once in this pose, push your lower jaw forward and feel a stretch under your chin. Count to 10 and repeat 8-10 times a day.
With your head straight and looking straight ahead, close your mouth by bringing your upper teeth together with your lower teeth and sticking your tongue to them. When you are in this position, tap your fingers on the jowl area. Do 10 repetitions.
Touch your chin to the ceiling and slowly turn your head to the side. Hold 5 seconds and turn to the other side. Repeat the exercise 10 times (5 on each side).

What you should look for in a cream to combat double chin

If you want to firm up the skin on your neck, you should use specific creams that activate collagen production. They will give greater tonicity to the skin. You should opt for moisturizing, plumping and tightening formulas that include peptides and emollient ingredients such as hyaluronic acid. You will get smoother and softer skin.

How to apply cream to remove double chin

There are cosmetic treatments that, although they cannot eliminate the double chin, they can prevent its appearance and improve its initial appearance. If you want them to be effective, it is essential that you are consistent and that you apply them correctly.

How should you do it? Experts advise applying the creams always with upward movements. It is recommended to start the massage from the center of the neckline towards the sides, bordering the facial oval and going down towards the lymph nodes. In this way, a draining effect is produced that helps deflate the area.
