About your concern
Understanding a double chin
A double chin describes fullness beneath the chin that softens the outline between the lower face and neck. It can involve fat, loose skin, facial structure or a combination of these.
Genetics and weight changes can affect fat distribution, while ageing may reduce skin firmness. The shape and projection of the chin also influence how the area looks.
Identifying what contributes to the fullness is important. An approach intended for fat will not address every concern involving skin laxity.
Recommendations
Recommended treatments for a double chin
Chin Fat Freezing
Our CRYO21 chin treatment may be considered where localised fat beneath the chin is the main concern. Suitability depends on the area and the amount and type of tissue present.
Endopulse
Endopulse may be considered where reduced firmness and changes in contour contribute to the appearance. Your practitioner will explain whether the skin and underlying tissues are suitable for this approach.
Your questions
Double chin FAQs
Can I have a double chin if I am slim?
Yes. Genetics, facial structure and where your body stores fat all influence the area. A double chin is not always linked to being overweight.
How can I tell whether it is fat or loose skin?
They can look similar and often occur together. An examination is more useful than judging from a photograph because the texture, thickness and movement of the tissues help distinguish them.
Are a double chin and jowls the same thing?
No. A double chin sits beneath the chin, while jowls affect the sides of the jawline. A plan may need to consider both if they occur together.
Will chin exercises remove a double chin?
Exercises cannot reliably target fat loss from a specific area. They also do not remove excess skin or change the underlying shape of the chin.
