What is a Double Chin?

A double chin is a term used to refer to excess fat in the submental area (under the chin). This extra layer of fat can be very frustrating because you don’t have to be overweight or obese to develop it. A double chin can make you feel heavier, older and less attractive. Shedding this weight naturally can be very difficult to do, especially since diet and exercise don’t target submental fat. If you’ve ever cringed at the sight of a photo of yourself because of the double chin look, then an aesthetic treatment may be the best option for you.

What are the Causes?

Double chins may be caused by a few different factors, age being the most common. As we grow older, our skin starts to lose elasticity. This can lead to the appearance of extra, saggy skin that contributes to a double chin. Even though weight gain is not a cause of this issue, it can contribute. Diets high in calories, processed foods and unhealthy fats can influence the weight that is gained in the submental area. Genes also play a role as well; if you have a family history of skin laxity or double chins, you are more likely to develop one. Lastly, poor posture can weaken the muscles of the chin and neck. Skin loses its elasticity when the chin and neck muscles are not used.
