It can be frustrating having a double chin. The excess fat can make you feel self-conscious. It may affect the way your shirts fit or cause overlapping on your collar. It is not a trait easily hidden and may cause you to look older or heavier than you are. The Dermatology Laser & Vein Center offers multiple different double chin treatment options. Our team at The Dermatology, Laser & Vein Center can discuss what treatments will suit you best. With the proper choice of a double chin treatment, you can have a more refined and youthful appearance.
What Causes Submental Fullness?
1) Genetics
Genetics make some people more prone to double chins than others.
2) Aging
We all hope to age with grace. Unfortunately, a common effect of aging is increased fat or skin prominence underneath the chin area.
3) Weight Fluctuations
Stubborn pockets of fat are common after weight loss. Considering that, it makes sense that weight loss commonly makes a double chin more pronounced. After tackling such an important health goal, it can be frustrating to be left with a double chin.
Weight gain is a very common cause of a double chin. Often, chin fat is one of the earlier signs of weight gain. You do not have to be extremely overweight to have one. If you are ready to address your double chin, we offer several treatment options, one of the most popular being Kybella®.
