Double Chin
Fullness or heaviness beneath the chin, a softer jawline, or reduced definition in the lower face. Many patients notice it in photographs or from the side, even when overall body weight has not changed.
About this skin condition
How it affects daily life
Submental fullness affects facial balance and profile. Many patients feel self-conscious about photographs or certain angles and describe a disconnect between how they feel and how their face appears. While not physically uncomfortable, it has a real impact on confidence.
What is actually happening
A double chin is typically related to genetics, skin laxity, or localized fat beneath the chin rather than a functional concern. It affects facial proportion and the clarity of the lower face and jawline.
How we address it
At One Clinic MD, treatment is physician-guided and tailored to the underlying cause. Morpheus 8 radiofrequency microneedling tightens skin and stimulates collagen for improved firmness and contour. For localized fat beneath the chin, Belkyra may be recommended to gradually reduce submental fullness. Dermal fillers may also be used strategically to enhance chin and jawline structure.
When to seek a consultation
We recommend a consultation for any concerns related to fullness or loss of definition under the chin. A clinical assessment allows us to evaluate fat distribution, skin laxity, and facial structure and build a personalized plan.
