What is a double chin?

While many of us would prefer to see a contoured profile when we look in the mirror, several people worldwide suffer with a double chin; often referred to as submental fullness.

What are the causes of a double chin?

There are multiple factors which contribute towards the appearance of a double chin. The most common factor being the effects of ageing, as the skin loses elasticity and causes excess skin to sag.

Some people are more prone to developing submental fullness than others, which is often down to genetics. However, weight gain can also increase fat production in this area which is particularly difficult to remove despite exercise and dieting.

Additionally, if a person has poor posture, then the muscles in the neck and chin can become weakened, causing a double chin to develop over time.

What are the symptoms of a double chin?

A double chin occurs when there is excess fat volume under the chin and neck area which gathers around the neck to create a wrinkle. A double chin can make the face to appear droopy, causing a person’s face to look tired, old and loose.

In extreme cases, there is a complete lack of definition between the jawline and neck, causing many individuals to feel insecure about their appearance.
