“…Although multiple clinical trials have been conducted, a pooled analysis showed that 70.2% of patients experience >1-point improvement in the 5-point clinician-reported submental fat rating scale after a mean of 4.1 treatments. 37 The most common side effects are minor and include pain, bruising, edema, and numbness; however, transient marginal mandibular nerve weakness has been reported as high as 4.3%. 38 In addition, in a survey of members of the Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, the average cost of a complete treatment of submental fat using deoxycholic acid was US$6426.35, compared with traditional submental liposuction which would cost an average of US$2976.56.…”

There are many treatments for neck laxity and fullness, both invasive and noninvasive. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of combined infrared, radiofrequency, mechanical massage, and suction therapy in performing contour changes in the submental and lateral neck regions. This was a single-center, prospective cohort study in which 30 patients were treated with a session of combined infrared, radiofrequency, mechanical massage, and suction therapy once a week for 4 weeks. Follow-up was performed at posttreatment months 1, 3, and 6. Both subjects and investigators completed submental fat grading scales and lateral neck and jowl linear analog scales. Exclusion criteria included history of soft tissue augmentation, cosmetic injections, ablative or nonablative skin resurfacing, or surgical procedures in the lower facial region, as well as weight gain or loss exceeding 10 pounds during the study period. There was a significant difference between mean ± SD neck and jowl investigator scores at day 0 and month 6, which were 5.6 ± 0.9 and 4.4 ± 1.0, respectively ( P < .05). Mean investigator submental fat score at day 0 was 1.9 ± 0.7 vs 1.5 ± 0.6 ( P = .04) at month 6. Differences between mean patient neck and jowl and submental fat scores were also statistically significant between day 0 and month 6. At day 0, the mean patient neck and jowl score was 4.7 ± 0.8 vs 3.2 ± 1.1 at month 6 ( P < .05), and at day 0, the mean patient submental fat score was 2.2 ± 0.5 vs 1.8 ± 0.6 at month 6 ( P < .05). Combined infrared, radiofrequency, mechanical massage, and suction therapy provides an effective, noninvasive treatment modality for improving contour of the lateral neck and submentum.

Background and objectiveFacial aesthetics have a huge impact on how individuals view themselves and are viewed by society. The aesthetics of the face are tremendously influenced by the shape of the chin and neck. In this study, we aimed to observe the outcomes in individuals after the use of ATX-101 (deoxycholic acid injection) in an expanded safe zone for submental fullness. To ensure optimal outcomes and reduce the risk of adverse events, appropriate patient selection is the key. ATX-101 treatment may be administered in combination with hyaluronic acid fillers, botulinum toxins, cryolipolysis, and radiofrequency treatment. This is the first study of its kind to be carried out at the national level in Pakistan. Materials and methodsThis was a quasi-experimental study conducted at the Rawalian Burn and Reconstructive Surgery Unit, Holy Family Hospital, Rawalpindi, Pakistan for a period of nine months, from 10-1-2021 to 11-10-2021. A total of 62 patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were enrolled. We recorded if any complications had occurred or not. Moreover, the total number of treatment sessions, the volume of injectables used, and the interval between sessions were also documented. ATX-101 package was injected into the treatment area. Due care was taken to avoid the region of the marginal mandibular nerve. After the procedure, outcomes and complications were observed. ResultsIn this study, patient satisfaction was reported in 59 (95.2%) patients. After the fourth session, final improvement was observed in 59 (95.16%) patients. Tenderness was found in seven (11.3%) patients, bruising was noted in four (6.5%), edema was found in seven (11.3%), numbness was noted in one (1.6%), whereas paresis and alopecia were not found in any of the patients. ConclusionOur study concluded that ATX-101 is a very useful modality with fewer complication rates and is associated with significant improvement in the expanded safe zone for submental fullness.

Chin liposuction is a procedure for removing fat from the submental region that can generate significant aesthetic and functional complications. Subcutaneous hematoma is one of these unusual physical changes and is characterized by the accumulation of blood in an ectopic space. A 25-year-old Caucasian male patient came to the emergency room 3 days after double chin liposuction, complaining of decreased cervical mobility, shortness of breath, pain, and aesthetic damage. Physical, imaging, and laboratory tests showed extensive subcutaneous hematoma associated with significant leukocytosis.The patient was hospitalized and submitted to surgical drainage of the submandibular, submental, and cervical fascial spaces in addition to intravenous anti-inflammatory and analgesic medication. After hospital discharge, he was followed up as an outpatient.There was complete remission of signs and symptoms and functional recovery. The correct diagnosis and management of subcutaneous hematoma offers a volumetric reduction of the affected area, allows favorable positioning of tissue planes, ensures airway maintenance, and improves local aesthetics. Thus, adequate control of this complication contributes positively to the patient's quality of life. (Rev Port Estomatol Med Dent Cir Maxilofac. 2022;63(3):xxx-xxx)
