Struggling with double chin

A double chin, or submental fullness, results from the accumulation of fat beneath the chin and the sagging of skin in the area. It can be influenced by factors such as genetics, aging, and weight gain. Fortunately, several treatment options are available to help reduce a double chin and restore a more defined jawline.

Causes

What causes double chin?

Double chin can be caused by a combination of factors. Genetics plays a major role — if your family members have a tendency to store fat in the chin area, you might be more likely to develop it too. Weight gain is another common factor, but even people who are not overweight can have a double chin due to skin laxity or fat distribution. Ageing is also a key contributor, as the skin loses elasticity over time, making it sag or droop. Poor posture and weak neck muscles may also worsen the appearance over time.

How soon will I see results from double chin treatments?
Results vary depending on the treatment. With non-invasive options like HIFU or radiofrequency, most people start seeing visible improvement in 4–6 weeks, with continued tightening over the next few months. Injectable options like fat dissolvers usually show results after 2–3 sessions, spaced a few weeks apart. Consistency and following aftercare make a big difference.
Will the double chin come back after treatment?
If the fat is permanently dissolved or the skin is tightened, the results can be long-lasting — as long as you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. However, significant weight gain or aging can lead to recurrence. That's why it's helpful to combine professional treatment with basic lifestyle care like posture correction, facial exercises, and good nutrition.
