Double Chin

A “double chin” is a common term used to describe the appearance of excess fat or loose skin that accumulates beneath the chin and jawline, resulting in a second, noticeable layer of skin or a “fold”. It is also referred to as sub-mental fullness.

A double chin can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, weight gain, ageing, and poor posture. While it is not necessarily a health concern, many individuals seek treatment for a double chin due to cosmetic reasons or to improve their appearance.

Treatment for a double chin can involve both non-invasive and invasive procedures. Treatments include lifestyle changes such as exercise and weight loss, dermal fillers to create the illusion of less fat, as well as the use of fat dissolving injections.
