Double chin, also known as submandibular fat accumulation, refers to the buildup of fat under the chin. Environmental factors, genetic factors, aging, and weight gain generally lead to fat accumulation or loss of elasticity in the area under the chin, making the individual appear older than they actually are.
The most commonly observed form is the accumulation of fat under the chin, popularly known as a double chin. This excess fat under the chin causes the facial oval to distort, making the face appear larger and the person look heavier.
Which Treatments Are Effective in Reducing a Double Chin?
One of the successful treatments for correcting the double chin appearance, also known as a double jawline, is a procedure that reduces fat cells by freezing them. Another treatment involves injecting fat-dissolving deoxycholic acid, phosphatidylcholine, or lipase enzyme into the area through the mesotherapy technique.
With these methods, the targeted area is reduced over a few sessions without the need for any surgery, achieving the desired appearance.
