Double Chin Removal Treatment

A double chin, medically known as submental fat, is a layer of fat that forms beneath the chin, leading to the appearance of a second chin. It can affect individuals of all ages and body types, and it’s often a result of various factors, including genetics, aging, and lifestyle choices.

Causes of double chin

  • Genetics: Genetics play a significant role in determining where your body stores fat. If your family members have a tendency to store fat under the chin, you may be genetically predisposed to develop a double chin.
  • Weight Gain: Excess weight or obesity can lead to the accumulation of fat deposits in various areas of the body, including under the chin.
  • Aging: As we age, the skin loses its elasticity and firmness, leading to sagging and drooping in various areas, including the chin and neck.
  • Posture: Poor posture can weaken the muscles in the neck and chin area, contributing to the development of a double chin.

How can we prevent double chin?​

1. Maintain a Healthy Weight

Adopting a balanced diet and regular exercise regimen can help prevent excess weight gain and reduce the risk of developing a double chin.

2. Practice Good Posture

Maintaining proper posture not only improves spinal health but also strengthens the muscles in the neck and chin area, reducing the likelihood of sagging skin and muscle laxity.

Stay Hydrated

Drinking an adequate amount of water daily helps keep the skin hydrated and supple, reducing the appearance of sagging and wrinkles.

4. Use Sun Protection

Protecting your skin from harmful UV rays by wearing sunscreen and protective clothing can help prevent premature aging and skin laxity.

Treatment options for double chin

Cool Sculpting​

CoolSculpting, also known as cryolipolysis, is a non-surgical fat reduction treatment that uses controlled cooling to target and eliminate fat cells. It can be an effective option for reducing stubborn fat pockets under the chin. Each treatment provides fat reduction of up to 27% with minimal downtime.

Ultherapy

Ultherapy is a non-invasive procedure that uses ultrasound energy to tighten and lift the skin on the face and neck, including under the chin. It stimulates collagen production, resulting in gradual improvement in skin laxity and contour. The lifting helps to improve the appearance of a double chin due to sagging.

Dermal Fillers

Sometimes, the appearance of a double chin is related to the structure of the face, most importantly the chin and jawline. An imbalance in the proportions of the lower face, notably, a shorter chin, can result in the appearance of a bulkier submentum in contrast. Therefore, your doctor may also recommend the use of dermal fillers to restore balance to the proportions of the face to reduce the appearance of the double chin.
