Description

A lump or sag under the jaw is commonly known as a double chin. Medically, excess fat under the chin is known as submental fullness. A double chin, or submental fullness, can be caused by weight change, aging, or even genetics. When it comes to skin aging, the neck is one of the first places to show age, and, for some people, fat is more likely to collect under the chin. This extra fat and loose skin can affect their overall jaw and facial profile. For some people, a double chin can contribute to a negative self-perception or affect mental well-being. The appearance of double chin is often psychologically dissatisfying to patients and as such, they seek consultation of cosmetic surgeon to adjust their submental profile to a more aesthetically pleasing one. There are some exercises that you can do to tone up the jawline; however, these would not help in getting rid of the double chin completely. Double chin reduction surgery can remove extra fat and smooth out the skin, leaving you with a more desirable and beautiful profile.
