Common Causes of a Double Chin
Genetics: For many people, a double chin runs in the family. If your relatives tend to carry extra fat in the chin or neck area, you may be genetically predisposed to develop one as well, even if you’re fit and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Aging: As we age, our skin loses elasticity and begins to sag. This natural loss of collagen can make the jawline appear less defined, creating the look of a double chin even without significant fat accumulation.
Weight Fluctuations: Gaining weight can cause fat cells to accumulate in different parts of the body, including under the chin. Even after weight loss, some individuals notice stubborn fat that doesn’t respond to healthy eating or exercise.
Poor Posture: A common problem these days, constantly looking down at your phone or computer can weaken the muscles in your neck and jaw over time. This can cause the surrounding skin to lose firmness, making a double chin more noticeable.
How to Get Rid of a Double Chin
While exercise and a balanced diet can help reduce overall body fat, targeted fat loss isn’t possible through lifestyle changes alone. Fortunately, non-surgical treatments like Belkyra® (also known as Kybella®) offer an effective way to contour the chin area. This injectable treatment breaks down and absorbs unwanted fat under the chin.
Most patients see visible improvement after a few sessions, with little to no downtime. Once those fat cells are gone, they don’t return, leaving behind a slimmer, more defined profile.
