Those who are affected by a double chin are not always happy about its appearance, feeling that it gives the perception of having gained weight.
The appearance of a double chin is a common concern that can affect anyone at any time. The increased exposure of skin below the chin and around the neck is characteristic of this concern, which can give the lower face a heavy look. Those who are affected by a double chin are not always happy about its appearance, feeling that it gives the perception of having gained weight.
It is true that excess / stubborn fat beneath the chin can be one reason for a double chin. This can occur when genetics, ageing or weight gain contribute to a build-up of submental fat that settles in this area of the face.
Ageing can also play a different role, whereby it causes loose or sagging skin. Due to the loss of volume and elasticity, the skin appears stretched and can then start to hang below the chin and jaw. Loose skin under the chin can also create an area that acts like a pocket. Descending fatty tissue may settle in this empty space, which can add to the concern as it draws the skin further down.
For some people, a double chin results from having a weak chin or jaw. This condition is genetic and sees the chin naturally sitting closer to the neck, causing the fat and skin to be more noticeable.
The Facebible has a treatment available that is dedicated to reshaping the structure of the chin. Chin sculpting works with the natural structure of the jaw, using dermal fillers to add volume where it is needed. By filling out a weak chin it can mean less skin is exposed and the appearance of a double chin is reduced.
To lessen the effects of sagging skin and / or excess fat, Clearlift skin tightening or fat dissolving injections can help to redefine the contouring of the lower face.
