Improve your jawline and get rid of chin and neck sagging.

The chin is a big area of concern for many people. Whether it’s a little pudgy, too loose or if you have a generally fat chin, it can look worse at certain angles. It may make you appear larger or older than you are in headshots.

Fullness beneath the chin can affect facial balance and jawline definition, even in individuals who maintain a healthy lifestyle. A double chin may develop gradually with age, weight changes, or genetics.

Double Chin FAQs

Even individuals at a healthy weight may develop fullness beneath the chin. Submental fullness may develop due to:

  • Genetics
  • Weight gain
  • Aging
  • Skin laxity
  • Natural fat distribution

The best treatment depends on whether fullness is caused primarily by fat, loose skin, or both.

Specifically, the little area right under the chin may be a small pocket, or it may extend back and down the neck and to the sides, along the jawline. You may not have a sharp jawline and simply want to improve that. Often, fat or loose skin can extend down into the neck area as well.

The chin/neck area is a place where some people hold fat preferentially, just like some people hold fat in their belly, hips, or thighs.

Destroyed fat cells do not return, though future weight gain may affect results.

Recovery varies and depends on the treatment selected.

Yes. Some treatments improve both fat reduction and skin tightening.
