Double chin can be caused by many factors:

  • Genetics: A family history of weak skin elasticity or extra fat storage can make it harder to get rid of a double chin. 
     
     
  • Weight: Gaining weight can cause fat to accumulate in the face and chin area. 
     
     
  • Age: As people age, their skin becomes less elastic. 
     
     
  • Posture: Posture can contribute to the appearance of a double chin. 
     
     
There are a few ways to reduce the appearance of a double chin, including: 
 
 
    • Exercise: Exercises like the lion's roar and cheek swishing can help tone your chin. 
       
       
  • Healthy eating: Eating smart and making healthy food choices can help with weight loss. 
     
     
  • Chewing gum: Chewing gum can help you feel more satisfied after a meal and reduce the number of calories you consume. 
     
     
There are also surgical and injectable treatments for double chins. 
 
Treatment varies for each individual and their goals and can include:
 
1. Injectables like Kybella
2. Fillers along the Jaw line to improve definition
3. Liposuction 
4. Surgical excision of the excess fat and skin
5. A combination of liposuction and surgery
