Double Chin

A double chin is one of those conditions that leads many people to feel unhappy with their appearance and is caused by a build-up of submental fat beneath the chin.

Certain lifestyle choices, such as a poor diet, lack of exercise and alcohol consumption can be factors that lead to gaining weight, and the development of a double chin. Ageing can also contribute as skin loses its elasticity. Skin that is less flexible can become loose and start to sag. For the area under the chin this can hang downwards for which fatty deposits can fall into, giving the perception of a weighty appearance.

About this condition

Genetics can also give the impression that a person has a double chin. When this feature is weak in appearance, with the chin sitting further back towards the neck, the skin under the chin becomes more exposed.

Improving the look of this concern can take a few different approaches. Fat reducing treatments such as warm sculpting, fat dissolving injections or zero fat destroys the fat cells in the area and removes them from the body. The results produce a slimmer look to the lower face. However, if a weak chin is the underlying cause, a solution that works to make this feature appear more dominant may be a more beneficial option. Dermal fillers can add volume to the structure of the jawline, creating a sharper characteristic that shows less of the exposed skin. For skin that is loose and ageing, procedures that help to lift and tighten the dermis produce a more youthfully rejuvenated look to the lower face.
