WHAT IS A DOUBLE CHIN REDUCTION AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
Double chin reduction is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that, through the application of lipolytic enzymes, dissolves localized fat under the chin to refine the facial contour and improve the definition of the profile. It also gradually stimulates the skin’s natural retraction for a firmer, more sculpted result.
A double chin can be genetic, weight-related, or result from natural aging. Regardless of the cause, it affects the definition of the neck and jawline and can compromise the overall balance of the profile. Double chin reduction using lipolytic enzymes targets that area directly without the need for surgery or general anesthesia.
Ideal for those looking to eliminate localized fat under the chin, improve the definition of the neck and jawline, or slim the profile without undergoing surgery.
Results may vary from patient to patient. Consult our medical team for a personalized evaluation of double chin reduction using enzymes in Mexico City.

To get the best results from the treatment, you should follow a low-calorie diet for the 3 days following your treatment and supplement it with exercise.
It is essential to follow these recommendations during the first 24 to 48 hours:
What to Avoid:
- Extreme heat and sweating: Do not use saunas, steam rooms, or hot tubs, and do not expose yourself to direct sunlight, as heat can increase local inflammation.
- Intense physical activity: Avoid high-impact exercise for 24 hours to prevent an increase in blood pressure in the neck and face.
- Handling the Area: Do not massage, apply pressure, or use deep-cleansing facial devices on the treated area unless specifically instructed to do so by your doctor.
- Alcohol and tobacco: It is recommended that you avoid consuming them for at least the first 48 hours, as they can dehydrate the tissues and slow down the regeneration process and fat elimination.
What you should do:
- Stay well-hydrated: Drinking plenty of water (2 to 2.5 liters a day) is crucial, since the lymphatic system needs that flow of fluid to process and eliminate the fat that the enzymes have just broken down.
- Gentle skincare and protection: You can wash your face as usual using a mild cleanser. Applying broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 50+) to your neck and chin is a must if you’re going outside.
- Sleeping on your back: If possible, keep your head slightly elevated with an extra pillow for the first two nights to promote drainage and reduce morning swelling.
