Surgery of the week: Kill that double chin, sweetheart!

If you’ve got more chins than a Chinese phone book (can’t remember what movie I got that from, sorry!) then there’s hope for you.

As the amazing photo above shows, it’s possible to permanently divorce your multiple chins.

The procedure was done by Doctor Ben Talei of the Beverly Hills Center. “The only thing we did was some minor fat reduction using microlipo* beneath the chin and some fillers under the eye and cheek to boost the midface.”

Well, Ben, you can boost my midface anyday…and I assure you…I don’t say that to many guys!

*Microlipo: is one of the world’s most popular cosmetic procedures. Subcutaneous tissue fat is extracted almost anywhere in the body (neck, chin, buttocks, thighs and even ankles.) It is done by making a small incision in the skin and then a cannula is inserted which is attached o a vacuum. The vacuum literally sucks that shit out!

An alternative to this procedure for transgender women is the KYBELLA injection – which is totally non invasive. Kybella is basically a laboratory made deoxycholic acid – based on a molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown of fat. In other words, girl, you inject that shit and it goes to war on the fat cells!

Here’s an excellent article in The Atlantic on the Kybella injection.

Well, that’s all for this week’s focus on surgery for transwomen… see you next Friday!
