What is Submentoplasty?
Submentoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at improving the appearance of the area beneath the chin (submental area).
This treatment effectively targets excess fat and loose skin, which can contribute to the appearance of a double chin. By removing unwanted fat and tightening the underlying muscles, Submentoplasty creates a more defined jawline and a smoother neck profile.
