What is a Double Chin?
A double chin forms due to the accumulation of excess fat and loose skin on the neck right under the chin, which causes the appearance of a second area of fullness called a double chin.

Best Treatment Options for Double Chin
Fortunately, there is a new way to get rid of a double chin without surgery. Kybella™ is an FDA-approved injectable drug that permanently melts away the appearance of a double chin. If you opt for a surgical procedure, you can receive a facelift, neck lift, or liposuction for a more dramatic result that redefines your look and removes sagging skin.
Surgical Treatments
Face Lift: A facelift is a highly effective surgical procedure that will eliminate unwanted fat cells and excess skin around the neck, chin, and face. A facelift is an ideal treatment to reduce dietary fat accumulation, and saggy skin caused by age and increased skin laxity. This will result in a more defined, youthful appearance.
FaceTite: FaceTite is an effective minimally-invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency to target fat and tighten underlying tissue, resulting in a slimmer and more youthful jawline without lengthy downtime.
Liposuction: Liposuction uses a small tube and a small incision to suck out excess neck fat and submental fat beneath the skin. This procedure will leave you with a more sculpted, contoured look. Liposuction does not help with skin laxity very much.
Non-Surgical Treatments & At-Home Remedies: Products & Devices
- Kybella: Kybella™ is an FDA-approved injectable treatment drug that permanently eliminates the targeted fat cells and melts away the appearance of a double chin using deoxycholic acid. It involves a series of small injections that destroy fat cells and tighten the neck. Once destroyed, the cells can no longer store fat. Most patients require 3-4 Kybella treatments for optimal results.
- CoolSculpting Mini: CoolSculpting Mini is a body sculpting device that uses Cryolipolysis to freeze and eliminate fat cells. Once the cells freeze, they are broken down naturally and metabolized, similar to Kybella. Patients typically need 3-5 treatment sessions for optimal results.
- Weight Loss/Exercise: If a double chin appears due to weight gain, you can always incorporate a healthy diet and exercise regimen to eliminate a double chin. Weight loss and exercise can also enhance and prolong the results of any cosmetic treatment to eliminate a full chin.
