What makes the profile look heavier even when fat is not the only factor
A double chin, or submental fullness, may be caused by localized fat, skin laxity, posture, chin anatomy or weight changes. The assessment aims to identify which component predominates, because a double chin caused mainly by volume is not approached in the same way as one caused by laxity or poor jawline definition.
Treatments for Double Chin
Why do I have a double chin and how can it be improved?
- Genetic factors: Some people develop a double chin because of genetics regardless of body weight. Treatments such as PBSerum enzymes or radiofrequency with Accent Prime may help reduce localized fat in this area and improve firmness.
- Weight gain: Excess submental fat may be associated with weight gain. mesotherapy may be used to address localized fatty deposits and improve chin contour.
- Aging: Over time, the skin loses elasticity and laxity can become more visible under the chin. Treatments such as Sculptra or Radiesse may be used to stimulate collagen production and improve skin firmness.

Does a double chin get worse over time?
Without treatment, a double chin may become more noticeable over time because of changes in fat distribution or loss of skin elasticity with aging. Options such as radiofrequency with Accent Prime or PBSerum enzymes may help manage volume and firmness when correctly indicated.
What types of double chin are there?
What results can I expect from the treatments offered?
Results vary according to the type of treatment and each patient’s individual characteristics. In general, the goals are a visible reduction in submental volume when fat is present and an improvement in skin firmness when laxity contributes. Treatments such as PBSerum enzymes and mesotherapy produce progressive changes, while radiofrequency with Accent Prime can help firm the skin. At our Aesthetic Medical Clinic, we create an individualized plan according to the components present in each case.
