Dense fat type
Characterised by thick, stubborn pockets of fat. These are full, heavy areas. They develop when excess weight or genetics cause cells to gather.

Understanding the condition
What is a Double Chin?
This is a common physical condition. It occurs when excess fat cells accumulate beneath the lower jaw. That is why this tissue build-up leads to the formation of a soft, heavy profile and obscured facial contours.
It often appears on your upper neck and beneath your chin. Therefore, you must consult our medical professionals for a bespoke assessment tailored to your exact body type.
There are different types of this condition, such as:
Skin laxity type
This type involves loose, soft tissue. This occurs when natural age progression weakens structural support. Consequently, this leads to a sagged, heavy lower face.
Root factors
What Causes a Double Chin?
Weight Fluctuations
Excess body weight often leads to fat accumulation under the chin, resulting in a heavier facial profile.
Genetics
Your DNA dictates exactly where your body stores excess fat cells. Some individuals possess a natural predisposition to submental fat.
Natural Age Progression
As we get older, our skin loses its natural elasticity. This structural loss contributes to loose tissue and a heavier lower face.
Poor Posture
A constant downward gaze or slouch can weaken neck muscles. Over time, this habit exacerbates the visibility of submental folds.
