why do we get double chin?

A double chin can be a source of frustration and insecurity for many people. But what causes this common cosmetic concern? There are a number of factors that can contribute to the development of a double chin, including genetics, aging, weight gain, and even posture.

  • As we age, the skin loses its elasticity, causing it to sag and droop, and fat deposits can accumulate in the submental area, leading to a “double chin” appearance.
  • Similarly, weight gain and obesity can also lead to an accumulation of fat in the chin and neck area. And, even something as simple as slouching or spending long periods of time looking down at a phone or computer screen can contribute to the development of a double chin.
  • While a double chin can affect anyone, there are certain risk factors, such as genetics and age, that can make it more likely.
  • However, with the right treatment, it’s possible to achieve a more defined chin and neckline, regardless of the cause of your double chin.

So, if you’re ready to say goodbye to your double chin and hello to a more confident you, book a consultation today and let us help you find the best solution for you!

Surgical Vs. Non-surgical double chin reduction

When it comes to reducing the appearance of a double chin, there are two main options: surgical and non-surgical. Each has its own unique benefits and drawbacks, and choosing the right option depends on your specific needs and goals.

  • Surgical options, such as neck lift surgery, can provide more dramatic and long-lasting results, but they also come with a longer recovery time, more risks, and higher costs.
  • Non-surgical options, on the other hand, are typically less invasive, have shorter recovery times, and are more affordable. These treatments, such as Belkyra fat dissolving injections, CoolSculpting with the CoolMini applicator, and Fotona TightLaser, are designed to target unwanted fat and tighten the skin, resulting in a more defined chin and neckline.

Whether you’re looking for a quick, non-invasive solution or a more comprehensive treatment, our team of experts at Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre will work with you to determine the best option for your specific needs and goals. So, why choose between surgical and non-surgical when you can have the best of both worlds? Book a consultation today and let us help you find the right solution for you!

The Riddle of Submental Fat

Submental fat is a term that refers specifically to excess fatty tissue under the chin. Submental fat often begins to form as the body ages, especially if you have a family history of double chins. Slower metabolism causes extra fat to accumulate beneath the chin, and aging causes the skin to relax and droop, worsening the appearance of a double chin. Weight gain and loss can also be an issue, especially when they are significant. In comparison to weight changes in other parts of the body, diet and exercise frequently have no effect on submental fat reduction. Following weight loss, sagging extra skin can add to the appearance of a double chin. Both Kybella and Ultherapy procedures efficiently address this problem area, although each employs a unique technique for reshaping the bottom of the chin.

Double Chin Treatment FAQs

Double chin is mainly caused by genetics and aging, as our skin loses its elasticity over time. It can also be caused by being overweight, especially when an excessive amount of fat accumulates in the area beneath the chin. Other factors contributing to double chin include gravity, bad posture, weight gain, smoking and certain medical conditions like hypothyroidism.
There are several invasive and non-invasion double-chin correction procedures. These procedures’ main goal is to help reduce a double chin by removing excess fat or tightening the skin around the area. Additionally, exercises are designed specifically for strengthening facial muscles, which may also help lessen the appearance of a double chin over time.
Yes! A healthy diet full of protein and natural fats will help you maintain weight while avoiding excess fat deposits in your neck and jawline area. Regularly performing exercises targeting facial muscles, such as puckering your lips and pushing out your tongue, is helpful too.
For non-invasive treatments such as Belkyra and Coolmini, the most frequent side effects are redness or itching in the treated areas. However, these should resolve themselves within a few days after treatment has been completed. Invasive surgical procedures, such as liposuction, do carry more risk.
Depending on what method is chosen for treating a double chin, results can vary greatly from person to person; some may see results right away, while others may need multiple treatments before they begin to see any improvement in their appearance or profile shape due to their individual body type and lifestyle habits contributing factors influencing their body’s response to treatment methods used.
Preventative measures may include maintaining a healthy diet full of protein and natural fats while avoiding gaining excess weight around the neck area through portion control; additionally, regular exercise helps keep our facial muscles toned up, which takes away from the sagging that gives us those dreaded “double chins”!

Double Chin Treatment Guide

Belkyra

In the body, deoxycholic acid is a substance that occurs naturally and aids in the absorption of dietary fat. Fat cell dissolution is made possible by bile acid, which is produced in the liver and has the ability to dissolve fat cells. It begins to break down and absorb fat as soon as it is injected into the targeted area (below the chin), preventing it from accumulating further in that area. A healthcare professional should be involved in the administration of Kybella injections due to the fact that the deoxycholic acid contained in the product has the potential to kill other cells.

Ultherapy

Ulthera delivers focused ultrasound energy to the deep layers of the skin without surgery or invasive injections. We frequently recommend Ultherapy as a non-surgical and non-invasive method for lifting and tightening skin on the neck, brows, and under the chin. In contrast to lasers, ultrasound therapy avoids the skin’s surface and instead delivers ultrasound energy to the deep structural tissues of the skin. As a result of a natural regenerative response, the skin becomes tighter and more lifted as collagen increases. The effects of the treatment build up over a period of two to three months and continue to improve for up to six months after the treatment. 

PDO Threads

PDO (Polydioxanone) Thread Lifts are another excellent procedure for reducing the appearance of a double chin. Thread lifts are minimally invasive surgery that provides a slight but noticeable reduction in skin laxity with minimum downtime.

Fotona Tightlase

Fotona with L-Runner is an excellent treatment for double chins because it uses two different mechanisms to work on the problem. The Extra-long pulse ND-Yag laser offers excellent skin tightening by inducing collagen production, the deep heat produced.The Fotona treatment is comfortable and requires no downtime; a session will last 30 minutes; we recommend planning for a series of four sessions spaced two weeks apart. The session cost ranges between $300 and $600, depending on the severity of the case.

Coolsculpting CoolMini

This is a non-invasive technique that targets fat beneath the chin by the special applicator, CoolMini. The CoolMini is the smallest coolsculpting applicator to treat the double chin. FDA approved coolsculpting as an effective and safe treatment for submental fat; since then, millions of patients have received this treatment. The Cool mini applicator produces a vacuum to bring in the fat tissue inside the applicator cup, then gradually reduces the temperature. Eventually, Cool mini freezes the fatty double chin area. Your body eventually eliminates these fat cells permanently. Initially, you will experience a cold feeling during treatment, but this will pass. You can do anything quiet during therapy, such as work on your computer or read a book. We will massage the affected region for a few minutes. After your session, you should be able to resume your usual activities right away.
