Before performing the GLAM Liposculpt™ double-chin liposuction program, the physician assesses more than just the amount of submental fat. They consider the distribution of fat, the structure of the facial frame, skin quality, tissue elasticity, and data from FAT Mapping™ in order to design a treatment plan suited to each individual client.
The goal of the assessment is not merely to decide whether or not to proceed with the liposuction program, but to plan so that the results of the double-chin liposuction program are balanced and in harmony with the overall face.
The double-chin liposuction program does not begin by looking only at the area under the chin
Many people assume that if there is fat accumulated under the chin, the liposuction program can be planned right away.
But in the GLAM Liposculpt™ approach, the assessment does not begin from the double-chin area alone.
The physician looks at the overall picture of the face and neck together, because the facial frame, jawline, cheeks, and the characteristics of the skin all affect the balance of the results after the liposuction program.
Therefore, the assessment before treatment is the starting point of the design, not merely a check of whether there is a lot of fat or a little.
FAT Mapping™ makes the assessment before the double-chin liposuction program more detailed
One of the important pieces of information used before the double-chin liposuction program is FAT Mapping™.
The data from FAT Mapping™ helps the physician understand the distribution of fat and see the differences between individuals more clearly.
When this data is analyzed together with the physical examination, the physician can design the double-chin liposuction program to suit each person’s facial structure, rather than using the same approach for everyone.
This principle is one of the reasons GLAM places importance on the assessment before beginning treatment.
The assessment does not look only at fat, but at the balance of the entire face
Before the double-chin liposuction program, the physician considers several aspects together, such as:
| Aspect assessed | Information considered |
|---|---|
| Submental fat | The amount and distribution of submental fat |
| Facial frame and chin | The facial frame line and chin shape |
| Skin | Skin elasticity |
| Overall face | The continuity of the face and neck |
| Individual needs | The client’s goals |
Each piece of information matters, because the results of the double-chin liposuction program do not depend on reducing fat alone, but on the harmony of the overall face.
GLAM’s goal is to design the facial frame, not merely to reduce the double chin
In GLAM Liposculpt™, the double-chin liposuction program is not a spot treatment.
It is part of designing the proportions of the face.
When the physician understands the data from FAT Mapping™ and thoroughly analyzes the components of the face, the planning of the liposuction program has a clear goal and helps the results look natural, in harmony with each client’s face.
Key points to know
The assessment before the double-chin liposuction program does not look only at the amount of submental fat, but assesses the balance of the overall face.
FAT Mapping™ is important information that helps the physician understand the structure of the fat before the double-chin liposuction program.
Skin quality, the facial frame line, and the chin structure affect the treatment planning.
Each client may receive a different double-chin liposuction program plan, even if they have similar concerns.
The goal of GLAM Liposculpt™ is to design a balanced facial frame, not merely to reduce submental fat.
A detailed assessment helps make the results more natural
When the data from FAT Mapping™, the physical examination, and the assessment of the facial structure are gathered completely, the physician can design the double-chin liposuction program approach to suit each individual client.
In some people, what makes the face look undefined may be primarily due to submental fat.
But in others, there may be other contributing factors as well, such as the facial frame line, skin quality, or the overall facial proportions.
A detailed assessment therefore helps the planning of the liposuction program avoid being fixed on a single problem area, and instead consider the results for the entire face.
The goal of the assessment before the double-chin liposuction program
The goal of the assessment is to understand the client’s body before beginning the liposuction program.
When the physician thoroughly understands the data from FAT Mapping™, the physical examination, and the facial structure, they can design a treatment plan suited to each individual and focus on results that look balanced and natural.
Frequently asked questions
What does the physician assess before the GLAM Liposculpt™ double-chin liposuction program?
Before the double-chin liposuction program, the physician assesses data from FAT Mapping™ together with the physical examination to look at the distribution of fat, the structure of the facial frame, skin quality, and the balance of the face.
All of the information is analyzed together in order to design the double-chin liposuction program to suit each individual client, rather than using the same approach for everyone.
How does FAT Mapping™ help plan the GLAM Liposculpt™ double-chin liposuction program?
FAT Mapping™ helps the physician understand the characteristics of the submental fat and the surrounding areas, including its relationship with other parts of the face.
When this data is used together with the physical examination, the physician can determine an appropriate approach for the double-chin liposuction program and design a more balanced facial frame.
Why do two clients with similar double chins receive different liposuction program plans?
Even if they look similar on the outside, the assessment results before the liposuction program may differ.
The structure of the facial frame, skin quality, the thickness of the fat, and the client’s goals are all information that affects the planning.
GLAM Liposculpt™ therefore designs an individualized liposuction program to suit each person’s information.
Does the GLAM Liposculpt™ double-chin liposuction program assess only the area under the chin?
No.
Before the double-chin liposuction program, the physician assesses the submental area, the facial frame, the jawline, and the continuity between the face and the neck.
Looking at the overall picture of the face helps the planning of the liposuction program be balanced and makes the results look more harmonious than considering a single area alone.
Does skin quality affect the planning of the GLAM Liposculpt™ double-chin liposuction program?
Yes.
In addition to information about the fat, the physician also assesses the quality and elasticity of the skin, because these are important factors in designing the liposuction program.
Assessing several aspects at the same time helps the treatment plan align with the client’s condition and helps determine a more appropriate approach.
Article summary
The GLAM Liposculpt™ double-chin liposuction program begins with a detailed assessment, not with a decision based only on the amount of submental fat.
The data from FAT Mapping™, the physical examination, skin quality, and the facial structure are analyzed together to design a liposuction program suited to each individual client.
For GLAM, a good assessment is the starting point for designing a balanced facial frame and helps the results of the liposuction program look natural over the long term.
