Excess weight carried underneath the chin, typically between the chin and neck. Often associated with weight gain or losing skin elasticity due to aging.
What is it?
A double chin, clinically referred to as submental fat, is a common issue that arises when a fat layer develops beneath your chin. It's commonly linked with weight gain, but you don't necessarily have to be overweight to develop one. Various elements can contribute to its emergence - heredity, aging or even poor posture that weakens the neck and chin muscles. The skin might lose its elastisity flexibility and fail to bounce back, leading to the appearance of a double chin regardless of weight.
