Your Concern
Double Chin
About submental fat
A double chin, also known as submental fat, is a common occurrence that happens when a layer of fat forms below your chin. A double chin is often associated with weight gain, but you don’t have to have excess weight to have one. Genetics or looser skin resulting from aging may also cause a double chin.
One of the most difficult areas of the face to remove fat from is the chin area. The area under your chin is called the submental area. Fat that resides in this region is known as submental fat.
Submental fat deposits can lead to the formation of a double chin. Double chins are difficult to get rid of, even with a healthy diet and exercise routine.Â
