Double Chin

            A double chin, also known as submental fullness, develops when excess fat or loose skin collects beneath the chin. This can result from genetics, aging, weight fluctuations, or poor posture that weakens neck muscles over time.

Double Chin

While harmless, a double chin canaffect facial harmony and make the lower face appear heavier or less defined. In some cases, skin laxity may worsen the appearance, creating sagging or folds around the jawline.

At AlyneMD, our experts assess the underlying cause—fat accumulation, skin laxity, or both—to design a personalized approach that restores a firmer, more contoured profile.
