Many people struggle with a double chin even if they are not overweight. Genetics, ageing and stubborn fat deposits under the chin can make the neck look heavy or less defined. The good news is—today we have safe surgical and non-surgical treatments that can help contour the jawline and improve facial definition.
🔍 Why Does a Double Chin Happen?
A double chin (also called submental fat) can appear due to:
Genetics
Ageing
Weight gain
Hormonal changes
Loss of skin elasticity
Poor posture
Even young individuals with a slim body may sometimes develop a double chin purely due to hereditary factors.
