Excess chin fat, also known as submental fat, refers to fat deposits that can develop beneath the chin or around the neck. This is a common area where some people naturally store fat, which may or may not change with weight management or exercise.
A number of factors may contribute to fat deposits under the chin, including:
Genetics: Some people are more predisposed to storing fat in this area.
Ageing: Natural changes in skin and tissue over time can affect the appearance of the chin and neck.
Weight and Posture: Fluctuations in weight and posture habits may also play a role.
Healthy lifestyle measures such as balanced nutrition and regular physical activity can help support overall body fat management. However, these measures may not always lead to noticeable changes under the chin. In some cases, surgical options such as liposuction may be discussed.
