Double Chin

in Vienna, VA

What Is a Double Chin?

A double chin, or submental fullness, occurs when excess fat or loose skin accumulates beneath the chin. It can be caused by aging, genetics, or weight gain and may affect facial balance. While a double chin is not harmful, it can impact confidence and self-esteem. Advanced aesthetic treatments provide effective, non-surgical, or minimally invasive options to sculpt and define the jawline.

What Are the Causes of a Double Chin?

Excess Fat
Fat deposits beneath the chin create the appearance of a double chin.
Aging reduces skin elasticity, causing sagging in the chin area.
A predisposition to store fat in the chin area can run in families.
Gaining or losing weight can affect fat distribution in the submental area.
Poor posture can weaken the neck muscles and accentuate the appearance of a double chin.
