Double Chin: It may be very difficult to lose the fat in your double chin. If weight loss by diet and exercise doesn't do the trick, you may want to consider liposuction or platysmaplasty, or even a facelift. At you age, if you don't have excess skin, liposuction is likely the best place to start. See a good, reputable facial cosmetic surgeon who can give you specifics regarding what's in your best interest.

Double Chin: Double chin treatment may require liposuction, chin augmentation or modification of the bone of the chin. Sometimes, more than one of these is performed for the best result. A facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon can help determine the best treatment for you.
