There is no particular surgery to treat a double chin, but a combination of ways can be used to remove the excess fat and tighten the neck area to get a more defined and firmer chin.
Double chin surgery is recommended on the basis of your skin quality and what results are you expecting. Sometimes, doctors perform a combination of neck liposuction and a neck lift together, and they can also suggest these procedures along with a facelift or chin augmentation.
