Excess weight carried underneath the chin, typically between the chin and neck. Often associated with weight gain or losing skin elasticity due to aging.
What is it?
A double chin, clinically referred to as submental fat, is a common issue that arises when a fat layer develops beneath your chin. Often linked with weight increase, a double chin can in fact come from a number of causes – hereditary factors, advancing age, or even poor posture that diminishes the strength of the neck and chin muscles. Over time, the skin can lose its suppleness and fail to bounce back, leading to the manifestation of a double chin regardless of weight.
The good news? Clarkston Dermatology can help reduce the appearance of your double chin safely and effectively.
How is it treated?
To reduce your double chin, we can employ minimally invasive treatments such as injectable deoxycholic acid, which eradicates fat cells. For certain patients we may also recommend laser treatments, liposuction, or even a surgical neck lift. If you'd like to say "so long" to your double chin, schedule a consultation at one of our Oxford or Clarkston, Michigan offices today.
