Summary

This study tested a surgical procedure to correct double chin in 12 women aged 45 and older. The surgery involved removing some neck muscle and fat, tightening the area, and removing extra skin. Participants were followed for 3 months. The main goal was to measure changes in the chin-neck angle and check for complications.
