Double chin, also known as submental fat, is a common condition. Submental fat forms an excess layer of fat that collects below the chin when skin laxity leads to loose skin. Though some people associate a double chin with extra weight, a double chin is actually more than a weight issue.
Everyone is capable of developing a double chin, even a healthy, fit and small individual. Therefore, simply losing weight won’t necessarily make the double chin go away.
Causes
The appearance of a double chin can be attributed to several factors:
Weight gain
Skin laxity
Genetics
Normal sign of age: over time, skin loses elasticity and begins to sag, causing the skin to droop and for the chin to look heavier.
Side effects of a medical condition
By maintaining a proper posture, adjusting diet and implementing neck exercises, one can reduce the appearance of a double chin. However, to completely remove the submental fat and achieve an aesthetic look, one may require a non-invasive procedure.
