What is it?

A double chin, otherwise referred to as submental fat, is when a layer of fat develops just beneath the chin and jawline. It's often linked with weight gain or sagging skin due to aging, though it can also be hereditary. This issue affects people of all ages, including both men and women, and can be caused by various factors such as excess weight, genetics, aging and posture.

Making lifestyle modifications such as enhancing your diet and incorporating regular exercise can help in reducing the excess fat in this area (and also boost your overall health!). However, if this stubborn fat deposit refuses to budge, Beavercreek Dermatology can help in restoring your jawline with proven and effective treatments. If you are prepared to redefine your jawline, schedule your consultation online or call our clinic.
