Double chin is a common issue that affects both men and women. It occurs when a layer of fat forms below the chin, giving the appearance of a second chin. While there are various factors contributing to the development of a double chin — genetics, age, and weight gain, the good news is that Cienna Aesthetics offers a variety of treatments that effectively reduce and eliminate the appearance of a double chin.

What causes a double chin?

The accumulation of excess fat under the chin or in the submental area often leads to a double chin. While commonly linked to weight gain or the process of ageing, it’s important to note that a double chin can affect anyone, and some of the factors include:

As we age, our skin gradually loses its elasticity, resulting in certain changes. With the passage of time, these effects become more noticeable, but understanding the underlying causes helps us better appreciate the intricacies of our body’s ageing process. This can be attributed to two primary factors:

  1. A decrease in metabolism leads to the accumulation of fat cells around the chin, causing changes in its appearance.
  2. The natural loss of collagen contributes to skin laxity in the neck and under the chin area.

Asians often have a smaller or receded chin, which can make a double chin more noticeable when there is an accumulation of submental fat. Even small pockets of fat can make the appearance of a double chin more prominent due to the smaller or receded chin. 

If your family has a history of double chins or sagging skin, you may be more prone to developing one yourself.

Prolonged periods of sitting or standing in one position can impact the muscles in the chin and neck, potentially resulting in weakened muscle tone. This, in turn, may contribute to the development of sagging skin and eventually a double chin.

The formation of a double chin is influenced by one’s diet. Consuming foods that are high in fat and calories can lead to weight gain, ultimately resulting in the appearance of a double chin. Conversely, insufficient protein intake can also contribute to the development of a double chin. This is because protein plays a crucial role in building and maintaining muscle tissue. Inadequate protein levels can cause the muscles in the chin and neck area to become weak and saggy.

Reducing double chin naturally

The good news is you can reduce your double chin right at home by undertaking diet and lifestyle changes and exercising the muscles around your double chin.

Facial exercises will not get rid of your double chin, per se, but they can help strengthen existing face and neck muscles and skin in the area, leading to a more defined chin.

You can use massaging tools to stimulate collagen production, burn fat, and promote blood circulation.

Some facial exercises to try:

  • Slow neck rolls and rotations
  • 10-second-interval of stretching out your tongue
  • Chewing gum repeatedly to stave off extra fat and strengthen jaw muscles
  • Chin presses, either with or without a resistance ball.
  • Extending and keeping your lower jaw in a forward position
  • Tilting your head back and puckering your lips

If your extra chin is caused by weight gain, healthy eating can help you get rid of it.

Opting for omega-3-rich products instead of processed foods can have positive effects on both your facial skin and overall health. Maintaining a well-balanced diet and ensuring sufficient protein intake is crucial in preventing the development of a double chin.

Making changes in your lifestyle can improve the appearance of your double chin. For instance, avoiding excessive sun exposure can reduce collagen loss and its effects on the skin.

Poor posture contributes to a double chin. When you slouch, your chin tends to protrude forward, increasing the likelihood of developing a second chin. If you have a noticeable double chin caused by slouching or hunching, adopting a more upright posture can provide immediate improvement in its appearance.

Multiple factors can lead to poor posture, such as prolonged periods of sitting, carrying excess weight, and even wearing high heels.

Non-surgical Double Chin Removal in Singapore

A healthy diet, regular exercise, and lifestyle changes are helpful in getting rid of a double chin, but these do not lead to permanent results.

If you want a defined chin and jawline, you will still need in-clinic treatments that are designed to get rid of stubborn submental fat cells (double chin fat), tighten loose skin and contour a ‘weak’ jawline.

Here are medical aesthetic treatments that can target stubborn submental fat and eliminate a double chin.

1. HIFU (HIGH-INTENSITY FOCUSED ULTRASOUND)

HIFU is a natural alternative to surgical facelifts.

Using ultrasound energy that penetrates deep into the skin to produce elastin and collagen, HIFU promotes added skin lift and contour and supports the body’s normal healing process for a youthful, natural appearance.

In just one session, HIFU can visibly address signs of skin ageing, including sagging skin, smile lines, frown lines, forehead wrinkles, loose skin, and face fat.

2. Chin Fillers

While some people have thinner jawlines from birth, others may experience volume loss and bone support over time, leading to a ‘weak’ ‘-looking chin.

Chin fillers can give you natural results by enhancing chin projection, lengthening a short chin, and smoothing a cleft chin. Made of hyaluronic acid, chin fillers are an excellent option to remove a double chin or elevate a recessed chin.

They can also create a more sculpted appearance, hiding any imperfections brought on by drooping skin or fat and adding volume to the facial tissues.

3. Jawline Fillers

With the help of jawline filler injections, your face will look younger with the reduction of wrinkles and fine lines. These dermal fillers provide thin, sagging skin with form, volume, and definition.

In turn, this adjusts your facial proportions so your face does not look too long, fulfilling the golden ratio again.

4. Botulinum Toxin

Another method for altering your face’s contour without surgery is Botulinum Toxin injections.

When injected beneath the skin, it lessens facial muscle activation and creates a modest lifting effect that can last up to four months.
