What does surgical double chin removal involve?

Are you searching for a permanent solution to address stubborn fat deposits and achieve a more sculpted and defined neckline? Diets and exercise do not work?

During the procedure, small incisions are made under the chin or behind the ears, through which a thin tube called a cannula is inserted to suction out unwanted fat deposits.
