A double chin is caused by fat under the chin, loose skin, or the shape of your chin and jaw. Genes decide where you store fat, so slim people can have one too. Aging, weight gain and posture can make it more visible.

A double chin is a layer of fat, loose skin, or both, that sits under the chin and softens the line between your jaw and neck. It is very common, and it can affect slim people too. Genes decide where your body stores fat, so some people hold it under the chin first.
Aging plays a part as skin loses firmness and starts to sag. A small or set-back chin can also make the area under it look fuller. Weight gain and posture, like looking down at a phone, add to the look.

Treatments can be combined
Is it painful? | Mild, depending on the treatment. Injections can sting or burn for a few minutes. Numbing is used where needed. |
|---|---|
Is there any downtime? | Depends on the treatment. Fat-dissolving injections cause swelling and tenderness under the chin for a few days, sometimes up to a week. Skin tightening usually has little or none. |
How many sessions needed? | Depends on the treatment. Fat-dissolving injections usually need 2–4 sessions, 3–4 weeks apart. Filler is often one session. |
When can I see the result? | Fat reduction starts to show in 3–4 weeks. Skin tightening builds over 2–6 months. |
How long does the procedure take? | Most sessions take 20–60 minutes, depending on the treatment. |
Double Chin Removal Injections
Small injections into the fat under the chin break down fat cells, which the body then clears. Most people need 2–4 sessions.
Choosing a Fat-Dissolving Formula
The clinic offers Lemon Bottle, Aqualyx and PB Serum. The doctor picks the formula based on how much fat there is and how your skin looks.
Morpheus8 Pro for Loose Skin
Fine needles deliver heat under the skin to firm the area under the chin. It suits a double chin that is mostly loose skin, or skin that needs tightening after fat loss.
Thermage FLX for Chin and Neck Tightening
Radiofrequency heat tightens skin under the jaw and on the neck without needles. It usually needs one session with little downtime.
Jawline Contouring
Filler at the chin and jaw gives a stronger outline, so the area under the chin looks less full. It suits people whose chin shape adds to the double chin look.

Doctor Consultation and Assessment
A doctor looks at your chin and neck from the front and side. The doctor gently checks whether the fullness is fat, loose skin or chin shape. You will talk about your goals and medical history.
Your Treatment Plan
You get a plan based on the cause: injections, skin tightening, filler or a mix. The doctor explains the number of sessions, what each feels like and the likely swelling.
Preparation and Comfort
The area is cleansed and marked. Numbing cream or ice is used where needed to keep you comfortable.
The Treatment Session
The injections or device are applied with care under the chin and along the jaw. Most sessions take 20–60 minutes.
Follow-Up and Maintenance
A follow-up visit checks your progress and plans the next session if needed. Keeping a stable weight helps the result last.

Fat-dissolving injections are the main non-surgical option for a double chin caused by fat. Skin tightening helps when the cause is loose skin, and filler helps when the chin is small. Learn more about non-surgical double chin removal at the clinic.
Yes, for a small to moderate amount of fat under the chin. The injections break down fat cells, and the body clears them over a few weeks. Most people need 2–4 sessions.
It depends on how much fat there is. Double chin liposuction is surgery that removes more fat in one go, with longer recovery. Fat-dissolving injections need no surgery and suit smaller amounts of fat over a few sessions. The clinic does not offer liposuction.
Kybella is a brand of double chin injection made from deoxycholic acid, a substance that breaks down fat. Other fat-dissolving formulas work in a similar way but use different blends. The clinic offers Lemon Bottle, Aqualyx and PB Serum, and the doctor will explain which suits you.
It can, if you gain weight. Fat cells that have been treated do not return, but the ones left behind can grow bigger. Aging can also loosen the skin again over time. A stable weight and occasional skin tightening help keep the result.
Weight loss can help, but you cannot choose where the body loses fat first. Chin exercises do not burn fat under the chin.
Then double chin tightening works better than fat-dissolving injections. Morpheus8 Pro or Thermage FLX can firm loose skin under the jaw. Removing fat from loose skin can make it look looser, so the doctor checks this first.
Most people notice a change 3–4 weeks after their first injection session. The full result shows a few weeks after the last session. Skin tightening takes longer, around 2–6 months.
Most people feel mild stinging or burning for a few minutes. Swelling, tenderness and some bruising under the chin are normal for a few days, sometimes up to a week. Cold packs help.
