What is a Double Chin?

A double chin is an extra layer of fat that develops beneath the chin and neck. A double chin is a common concern as it affects your facial contours and can be difficult to eliminate through diet and exercise alone.

What Causes a Double Chin? 

A double chin, medically known as submental fat, is an extra layer of fat that forms beneath the chin and neck. Various factors contribute to its development. 

  • Genetics play a key role, as some people are predisposed to accumulating fat under their chin. Also, the structure of your body may play a part in whether you have a double chin or not. 
  • Age is another factor, as skin loses its elasticity over time, leading to sagging that resembles a double chin. 
  • Weight fluctuations and posture can also contribute to the appearance of a double chin.

How to Get Rid of a Double Chin

While lifestyle changes such as a balanced diet and regular exercise can help in reducing overall body fat, they might not always target the fat under the chin effectively. Neck and chin exercises might tone the area, but they don’t always eliminate the fat. If these methods aren’t giving you the results you want, Vaser liposuction could be a solution to consider. This procedure is specifically designed to target stubborn fat areas like double chins.

About Chin & Neck Liposuction

Neck & chin Vaser liposuction is a cosmetic procedure designed to target and remove stubborn fat around the chin area. It’s also sometimes referred to as turkey neck liposuction.  This technique uses advanced ultrasound technology to liquefy fat before its removal, offering a less invasive alternative to traditional liposuction, with a generally quicker recovery time.
