How it is done
After design: (1) subcutaneous fat is suctioned with a fine cannula; (2) the platysma supporting the area under the chin is incised; (3) fat beneath the platysma is removed; (4) the loose platysma is tightened; (5) the incision is closed. The clinic explains that superficial fat needed for skin elasticity and contour, and tissue around nerves, are preserved, and that AccuSculpt, a laser that induces fat breakdown, is used alongside. The double-chin muscle tightening description on the clinic's neck lift page specifies a 2–3 cm incision under the centre of the chin.
