Understanding Your Concern
About Double Chin
Submental fullness—that pocket of fat beneath the chin—is one of the most frustrating cosmetic concerns because it's often genetic and stubbornly resistant to diet and exercise. Many patients tell us that slimming their body barely touches their double chin, while others gain a little weight and suddenly notice fullness they never had before. We approach the double chin area with a combination strategy: neuromodulators can refine the jawline and platysmal bands, while dermal fillers can sculpt and define chin projection. If your concern is primarily skin laxity (from aging or significant weight loss), microneedling and collagen-stimulating treatments are better options. We evaluate your anatomy carefully to determine which approach serves you best.
Common Causes
- Genetics and inherited fat distribution patterns
- Weight gain concentrating in the submental area
- Aging and progressive skin laxity
- Underlying bone structure and chin projection
