DOUBLE CHIN

Non-surgical treatment for submental fullness—regardless of weight.

A “double chin” can develop due to genetics, stubborn submental fat, weaker chin projection, and age-related skin laxity—often amplified by posture (“tech neck”) or weight changes. Importantly, submental fullness is not always related to body weight; many people at a healthy weight experience it due to inherited anatomy or fat distribution.

Our injection-focused approach targets the specific contributors to under-chin fullness—fat, structure, and skin support—to refine the chin–neck angle and improve profile definition while keeping results natural and balanced.

Not sure where to begin?

Every treatment begins with the right conversation. We’ll help you choose the most appropriate next step based on your goals, timeline, and comfort level.

AM I A CANDIDATE

You may be a good candidate if you notice persistent fullness beneath the chin that does not respond to weight changes, or if the area appears disproportionate to the rest of your face. Suitable candidates typically have localized submental fat, good overall health, and realistic expectations about gradual, progressive improvement.

During your consultation, we assess whether your concern is driven by fat, skin laxity, chin structure, or a combination. This allows us to determine the safest and most effective treatment plan tailored to your anatomy and goals.

POSSIBILITIES

A double chin can soften jawline definition and create heaviness beneath the lower face. With the right approach, it’s possible to:

  • Reduce submental fullness
  • Sharpen the chin–neck angle
  • Improve jawline contour and profile balance
  • Create a lighter, more refined lower-face silhouette

Even modest improvements often have a meaningful impact on facial balance and confidence, particularly when viewed in profile.

TREATMENT OPTIONS

Ultherapy® (Micro-Focused Ultrasound)

Ultherapy tightens deeper support structures of the under-chin and neck. While it does not remove fat, it significantly improves skin laxity, which often contributes to the appearance of fullness and blurred contour.

Dermal Fillers (Chin & Jawline Contouring)

Strategic placement of filler in the chin or jawline can enhance facial balance, strengthen projection, and improve the visual definition of the jawline—especially when fullness is compounded by a recessed chin.

Laser & Light Therapies (Adjunctive)

Laser and light treatments are not used to reduce fat but may be recommended to improve skin texture, tone, and clarity of the lower face and neck, complementing contouring treatments.

Combination Planning

Many patients achieve optimal results through a combined approach—such as fat reduction with Belkyra®, structural refinement with chin or jawline filler, and skin tightening with Ultherapy®. Treatment sequencing is customized to your anatomy, goals, and downtime preferences to ensure natural-looking results.
