What is a Double Chin?

A double chin is the appearance of a layer of fat between the chin and the neck. It creates an impression of a second chin that's usually caused by various factors like weight gain, aging, genetics, and poor posture. Let's discuss them in more detail below 👇

What Causes Double Chin?

When it comes to the causes of double chin, there are several factors, and it's most of the time due to being overweight.

• Excess fat: When someone suffers from being overweight, this can cause fat accumulation under the chin, which ends up creating a double chin.
• Aging: As you age, your skin starts gradually losing elasticity, and muscles may weaken, which leads the skin under the chin to sag.
• Hereditary factors: If double chins run in your family, you may be more likely to develop one.
• Poor posture: Slouching or poor neck posture can also be a factor that weakens the muscles around the chin and neck, causing the skin to sag.
• Diet and lifestyle: If someone has a poor diet high in calories and regularly consumes processed foods and unhealthy fats, chances are they will gain weight and a double chin.

Can you Get Rid of a Double Chin?

Getting rid of a double chin is relatively tough, but it's certainly not impossible. However, you have to know that getting noticeable results from nonsurgical double chin treatments will take time and patience, and the same applies to surgery recovery.

Double Chin Treatments

Non-Invasive Treatments:

‍

• Kybella: Kybella is an injectable treatment that uses deoxycholic acid to break down and absorb fat cells under the chin. To achieve optimal results, you might need multiple sessions.
• Ultherapy: Another non-invasive option is ultrasound energy, which is used to lift and tighten the skin around the chin and neck by stimulating collagen production.
• Radiofrequency (RF) Treatments: Dermatologists can also use radiofrequency energy to heat and contract the skin and significantly improve the appearance of a double chin over time.

Minimally Invasive Treatments:

‍

• Laser Lipolysis (SmartLipo): A laser-based treatment that melts fat under the chin and tightens the skin. It requires a small incision but is less invasive than traditional liposuction.
• Mesotherapy: Mesotherapy is a procedure that involves injecting a fat-dissolving solution into the double chin area; this treatment process may need several sessions to notice and achieve the best results (up to 6 months).

Surgical Treatments:

‍

• Liposuction: A surgical procedure that removes excess fat from under the chin. It provides immediate results and can create a more defined jawline.
• Neck Lift: Neck lift is a surgical option that tightens and removes excess skin around the neck and chin; this treatment is often done in conjunction with liposuction.
• Submentoplasty: A less extensive surgery than a full neck lift, focusing on removing fat and tightening muscles under the chin.

Double Chin Exercises

‍

If you want to remove your double chin naturally, there are multiple exercises you can perform, and they tend to bring great results, especially if your double chin is caused by excess chin and neck fat.

‍

‍

• Chin-to-ceiling: The chin-to-ceiling exercise should be performed 10-20 times a day on average, and the patient must hold this position for 10 seconds and then repeat the same process.

• Ball Exercise: Similarly to chin-to-ceiling, this exercise should also be performed between 10 to 20 times a day. The patient should maintain this position for 10 seconds. Then, return to the normal position and start again.

• Cheek swishing: You can do cheek swishing literally anytime when you're brushing your teeth, washing your mouth, or even drinking. Make sure to swish around your cheeks for 5 to 10 minutes, and just like the other exercises we mentioned, you should perform cheek swishing 10 to 20 times a day.
