Submental Fullness (Double Chin)

Submental fullness -- commonly called a double chin -- is excess fat beneath the chin that blurs the jawline. It can persist despite diet and exercise.

Signs

Fullness or a soft pad of tissue beneath the chin, loss of jawline definition, and a heavier-looking profile.

Causes

Genetics, weight gain, aging, and skin laxity. Many patients with submental fullness are otherwise at a healthy weight.

Assessment

We assess submental fat amount, skin laxity, jawline contour, and your profile goals.

Treatment

Kybella (deoxycholic acid injection) dissolves fat under the chin over a series of sessions. CoolSculpting and surgical options are also available.

Questions

Most patients need 2 to 4 sessions spaced about 6 weeks apart for optimal results.
