Concern
Double Chin
A 'double chin' — fullness beneath the chin — is very common and not always related to weight. Genetics and skin laxity can both contribute.
We assess the area carefully and recommend treatments to improve definition and firmness along the chin and jawline.
Causes
What Causes Double Chin?
Submental fullness can be caused by genetics, weight, ageing and reduced skin elasticity, which allows the area beneath the chin to look fuller or less defined.
