Double chin
Having a double chin can make you look heavier and less attractive, no matter how good you look. Even thin celebrities can struggle with it.
What is Double Chin
Double chin, also known as submental fat, is caused by excess fat under the chin and can be worsened by aging skin. This can distort facial profile, shorten the appearance of the neck, and impact self-esteem.
Causes
1. Poor Posture
Poor posture is a common cause of double chins. Sitting with a hunched back, constantly craning the neck forward, and using a high pillow can all contribute to the problem. Looking down at devices for extended periods also puts individuals at risk, as it squeezes the fat below the chin and can lead to the development of a double chin.
2. Poor Eating Habits
Your eating habits can lead to a double chin. If you don’t chew your food enough, your chin muscles can become weak and lose their elasticity.
3. Receding Chin
A weak chin causes the skin and tissue under the chin to move inward towards the body, forming a pile-up.
4. Fat on the Platysma Muscle
A primary cause of double chins is excess body fat. This fat is prone to storing in areas such as the chin, which can result in a double chin. This is often a sign of being overweight.
5. Loosen muscle and aged skin
As we age, our muscles and skin lose their firmness, causing gravity to create a double chin. Facial muscles, such as the ones for expression, around the mouth, and in the cheeks, contribute to this effect. Looser facial muscles can’t support or move the chin muscles properly, which leads to sagging chin muscles and a double chin.
Treatment
This treatment reshapes the chin and improves jawline appearance using hyaluronic acid injections instead of surgery.
