What Causes a Double Chin?

There are myriad reasons this area is such a trouble spot for some. Your chin and neck structure—specifically, the size of your chin bone, length of your jawbone, and position of your Adam’s apple—play a role, as does weight gain and the effects of aging on skin and muscle laxity.

“The two sheets of [platysma] muscle that support the neck can part from each other under the chin and be a significant component of a double chin,” the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

Submental fullness, as doctors call it, can also be inherited. “A double chin can commonly be a genetic trait, especially if you’re thin. Sometimes it’s accompanied by a small chin as well.”

What are the most effective treatments to get rid of chin fat?

If you’re thinking of trying to work off your chin fat with double chin exercises, most doctors say you probably won’t see the results you want.

“There’s no such thing as losing weight in a certain spot, aka spot reduction. The human body likes to lose weight in an even manner, for the most part. So unfortunately, exercises that you might be doing specifically to the chin and neck region will do nothing to lessen the amount of fat in that area. If you’re on a rigorous exercise program involving all areas of the body, with both cardio and weights, there’s a good chance that the fat in the area under the chin will lessen. That being said, if you’re sick and tired of exercising and have not seen much improvement, I would recommend a consultation to determine if injectables or laser treatment could help.”

Double chin exercises can also cause the platysma muscle to become more visible and contribute to the bands that often form in the front of the neck.

Fortunately for those who want to get rid of a double chin, there are many procedures, including nonsurgical treatments, that target this trouble zone.
