R.laxity of the face. And not intended as a face rested and fresh but with harmonious and toned volumes again. This is the desire of many, at least according to the increase in requests in the surgical field that took place shortly before Christmas.
«If the ‘Rich Girl Face’ is very popular in the USA, here Soft and as natural as possible interventions are increasingly required, focusing on the areas of the face that tend to relax. First of all the neck and the double chin »explains Professor Sergio Noviello, Health Director of the Sergio Noviello Cosmetic Surgery & BAT Center.
Double chin, the causes of the so-called “parrot”
The last two years have changed the approach to one’s body a lot. The constant use of masks, the continuous meetings on Zoom have placed our attention on an area that we had often ignored: the neck and the possible double chin.

Behind the formation of what is also commonly called “parrot”, a accumulation of fat, or the formation of a sort of sac just below the chin which changes the chin-neck border and i facial contours. A accumulation caused primarily by a hereditary factor, which can lead to the formation of a double chin even at a young age. But also from hormonal imbalances, water retention or weight gain.
More than treatments, a remise-en-forme of the face
The desire for small interventions that redefine the volumes of the facial contour has greatly increased. But with a particular request: the result must be as natural as possible.
If in fact in the USA the trend is that of Rich Girl Face, in Europe and in Italy it is the exact opposite: “In the United States this approach is especially popular among younger patients: the twenty-year-olds, simulating celebs and influencers, share before and after photos on social media, recounting the sessions by the aesthetic doctor to feel ‘cooler’ and closer to their beauty models and choose interventions that, in addition to addressing the problem, create the effect of having just come out of a photo edited with Photoshop.
The approach that we have here is instead completely different: we try to enhance the characteristics of each person starting from their natural beauty»Explains the expert.
This is why we speak more than one remise-en-forme of the face: «This is what we aim for to help the skin respond to normal age failure but also to stress and prolonged use of masks. Despite their use, in fact, the problem of the double chin continues to be particularly felt and it is precisely the area where patients ask to intervene more ».
Different types of fillers against double chin
The evergreen treatments that help the sagging of the neck and face, but also of the décolleté, are the fillers, suitable for restoring volumes, reducing wrinkles, including expression lines, or eliminating small imperfections.
The filler is among the trends of the moment to redefine the oval, especially those of hyaluronic acid. “L’hyaluronic acid represents a precious ally of the skin for deep and prolonged hydration over time, especially in areas particularly exposed to environmental factors such as face, neck, décolleté, hands.
In fact, it allows you to model the mandibular profile and the chin area, enhancing the features, giving harmony to the oval of the face and restoring the correct proportions. The result is a skin that appears not only more nourished, compact, luminous, but also a face with a fresher, drier and rejuvenated appearance without surgery »explains Professor Noviello.
The Soft Filler, what it is and how it works
Alternatively, the Karisma Bio-replenishing Soft Filler of Taumedika, evolution of the classic biostimulation, is obtained thanks to a completely natural collagen. «It is a ready-to-use collagen, recombinant, biotech, green because it is obtained from the cocoon of silk. It is already available in a pre-filled syringe and optimizes the effectiveness of hyaluronic acid »adds Noviello.
Behind the Soft Filler, a new technology imported from Japan and formulated in Italy with other active ingredients that have demonstrated clinical efficacy beyond expectations: «This type of collagen it is the ingredient that makes the difference because, working in synergy with hyaluronic acid, in addition to increasing the doses of collagen itself in the skin, it stimulates its natural production for a safe result ».
Double chin face gymnastics
Not just fillers. Indeed, the double chin can be fought, or at least mitigated, even at home.
First of all with the facial gymnastics. For example with “The exercise of the kiss“: That is, sitting on the sofa, with your feet on the ground, back, head and neck beautifully straight, you stretch your lips forward just like when you give a kiss, maintaining the position for 10 seconds and repeating three sets of 10 each. Then the exercise is repeated, again 10 times, turning the head first to the right and then to the left.
The skincare that helps
To mitigate, or even to anticipate, it is also essential to choose the right skincare: nourishing and firming ingredients help in fact to keep this area in shape.
In particular, the Vitamin E it is to be sought precisely because it “keeps skin aging under control” by keeping the skin elastic and toned, which is why it is a suitable ingredient in cases of sagging.
The aforementioned is also fundamental collagen, whose production decreases around the age of thirty, and acts as a “scaffold” for the skin; by lowering its production naturally, the epidermis yields and these creams help to increase its natural reserve.
