Conditions
Double Chin
A double chin, medically termed submental fullness, is a common cosmetic concern characterized by the accumulation of excess fat beneath the chin, resulting in the appearance of a second chin or a less defined jawline. While factors such as aging, genetics, weight gain, and lifestyle habits can contribute to the development of a double chin, innovative treatments offer effective solutions for reducing submental fullness and achieving a more sculpted and youthful neck profile.
Causes
Acne arises from the interplay of several factors:
- Genetics: Genetic predispositions can influence the distribution of fat deposits and the structure of the chin and neck area, making some individuals more prone to developing a double chin.
- Weight Gain: Excess weight or fluctuations in body weight can lead to the accumulation of fat deposits in various areas of the body, including beneath the chin.
- Aging: As we age, the skin's elasticity decreases, and the muscles and ligaments supporting the chin and neck area may weaken, contributing to the appearance of a double chin.
- Posture: Poor posture or habitual slouching can weaken the muscles of the neck and contribute to the formation of a double chin over time.
- Lifestyle Factors: Factors such as diet, exercise, smoking, and alcohol consumption can impact body composition and contribute to the development of submental fullness.
Treatment Approach
Innovative treatments such as Lemmon Bottle, Deco or Aqualyx Injections offer effective solutions for reducing submental fullness and achieving a more sculpted jawline without the need for invasive surgery. Lypolitic Injection, also known as phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholate (PCDC) injection, involves the targeted injection of a specialised solution into the submental fat layer beneath the chin. This solution, containing phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholate, works to break down and dissolve excess fat cells, leading to a noticeable reduction in submental fullness and a more defined jawline.
