What Can Cause a Double Chin?
A double chin is simply extra fat underneath the chin. How those unwanted layers of fat develop can vary from person to person. Sometimes, it’s a condition that develops as you age or due to your diet, and other times, it’s simply due to genetics. For many people, a double chin is often caused by factors that we have no control over.
Age
As we age, our skin slowly loses its elasticity. This can result in sagging skin underneath your chin which can lead to the development of a double chin.
Diet and Weight
A poor diet can lead to weight gain, and for some of us, weight can pack on in places like underneath our chin. Fluctuations in your weight can also cause extra skin to develop in that area contributing to the appearance of a double chin.
Genetics
While this may not seem very fair, if a double chin runs in your family, you may be more likely to develop one. Genetics are simply something that we cannot do anything about. However, there may still be hope to treat your double chin, even if it is due to genetics.
Treatment Choices for a Double Chin
If you struggle with a double chin, you have undoubtedly searched for solutions, and in your search, you have probably found a multitude of proposed solutions from surgery to exercises meant to target the under-chin area. We’ll discuss some of these treatment options in more depth in this section.
Over the Counter Products
Over-the-counter products like skin masks and moisturizers are available that are designed to tighten skin. Some people believe that these may help to tighten the skin underneath your chin if your double chin is caused by skin that has lost its elasticity. However, these products are often expensive and the results can vary greatly.
Exercises
When you search for “double chin treatments” online, you will find a slew of exercises designed to specifically target the under-chin area. While some of these exercises may help to build muscle in that area, there is no real way to target fat loss from any one specific area of your body.
Surgery
As with most cosmetic conditions, there are surgeries available to treat your double chin. These can include choices such as liposuction. While surgery can be effective, it also comes with more risks and requires recovery time, not to mention it can be quite expensive. If you have tried everything else and have not found a solution to your double chin, it may be worth looking into cosmetic surgery.
