How Can You Get Rid of That Double Chin?
If you’re bothered by a double chin when you look in the mirror, you’re far from alone.
According to the most recent consumer survey from the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, 70% of consumers say they are bothered by excess fat under the chin or neck. Submental fullness, commonly called a double chin, affects both men and women of all backgrounds and ages.
A double chin may be caused by many factors such as:
- Weight gain
- Genetics
- Individual anatomy
- Airway positioning
At Cayce Medical Spa in Columbia, MO, we offer advanced solutions to help you reduce or eliminate a double chin and achieve a more sculpted jawline.
Can Weight Loss Help with a Double Chin?
For some people, weight loss can help minimize a double chin and lead to a more defined jaw line. Consistent lifestyle habits make all the difference:
- Regular exercise (start with walking 10–15 minutes daily and increase as your fitness improves)
- Healthy diet with balanced proteins, carbs and fats
- Avoiding extreme calorie restriction
- Support from a fitness trainer or workout buddy
Sustainable habits support both your health and skin toning goals.
