Excess weight carried underneath the chin, typically between the chin and neck. Often associated with weight gain or losing skin elasticity due to aging.
What is it?
A double chin, clinically recognized as submental fat, is a prevalent issue that arises when a layer of fat accumulates beneath your chin. It's often linked to weight gain, but you don't necessarily need to be overweight to develop one. Other contributing factors include genetics, aging, or even improper posture that weakens the neck and chin muscles. Skin may lose its elasticity, leading to the formation of a double chin.
