A double chin, also known as submental fullness, is the accumulation of fat beneath the chin that creates a fuller or sagging appearance. It may be caused by fat retention, loose skin, or a combination of both. While completely normal, many people seek to reduce it for a more defined, sculpted look. Fortunately, today’s advanced aesthetic treatments make it possible to do so without surgery.
Kybella is highly effective for fat reduction, while Ultherapy and RF microneedling are excellent for tightening and improving jawline definition.
Most patients need two to six sessions, spaced at least one month apart, depending on the amount of submental fullness.
Kybella may cause swelling, bruising, or tenderness for several days. Ultherapy and RF microneedling involve minimal downtime.
Kybella results are permanent as the fat cells are destroyed. Skin-tightening results may require maintenance over time.
Visible improvements typically begin within four to six weeks, with full results developing gradually over several months.
