Double Chin

A double chin, or submental fat, can affect your facial profile and confidence. At the best Medical Spa in Calgary, Arlo Medical Injections, we offer treatments to reduce excess fat under the chin and achieve a more defined jawline. Understanding the causes and available treatments for a double chin can help you choose the best option for your aesthetic goals.

What Is a Double Chin?

A double chin occurs when a layer of fat forms below the chin, creating a fuller appearance and blurring the jawline. This condition can affect individuals of all ages and body types, and while it is often associated with weight gain, other factors can also contribute to its development.

What Causes a Double Chin?

  • Genetics: Your genetic makeup can play a significant role in where your body stores fat, including under the chin. If family members have a double chin, you may be more likely to develop one as well.
  • Weight Gain: Excess body fat can accumulate in various areas, including under the chin, leading to the appearance of a double chin.
  • Aging: As we age, the skin loses elasticity and the muscles may weaken, causing the skin to sag and create a double chin even without significant weight gain.
  • Poor Posture: Slouching or poor posture can weaken the muscles in the neck and chin area, contributing to the formation of a double chin over time.

Available Treatments for a Double Chin

At Arlo Medical Injections, we offer several effective treatments to reduce the appearance of a double chin:

  • Kybella Injections: Kybella is an injectable treatment that destroys fat cells under the chin, resulting in a more contoured jawline. This non-surgical option provides gradual results over multiple sessions.
  • CoolSculpting: CoolSculpting uses controlled cooling to freeze and eliminate fat cells beneath the skin. This non-invasive treatment can help reduce submental fat and improve the profile of the chin and neck.
  • Liposuction: For more significant fat reduction, liposuction can be performed to remove excess fat under the chin. This surgical procedure offers immediate and dramatic results.
  • Ultherapy: Ultherapy uses ultrasound technology to lift and tighten the skin under the chin, reducing the appearance of a double chin and enhancing the jawline.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I have a double chin but I'm skinny?

A double chin can appear even if you are skinny due to factors like genetics, which may predispose you to store fat in that area. Additionally, ageing can lead to loss of skin elasticity and muscle tone, causing sagging. Poor posture can also contribute by weakening neck and chin muscles.

Is a double chin just fat?

A double chin is primarily caused by excess fat under the chin, but other factors such as loose skin and weak muscles can contribute. Ageing and genetics also play roles in its appearance.

Can chewing gum reduce double chin?

Chewing gum can help strengthen the muscles in the jaw and neck area, potentially toning the region and reducing the appearance of a double chin. However, it is not a guaranteed solution for fat reduction.

Will my double chin go if I lose weight?

Losing weight can help reduce a double chin if it is caused by excess fat. However, factors like skin elasticity and muscle tone also play a role, so weight loss alone may not completely eliminate a double chin. Combining weight loss with exercises targeting the neck and chin can yield better results.
