Submental Fullness (Double Chin)
Submental fullness — commonly called a double chin — is excess fat beneath the chin that blurs the jawline. It can persist despite diet and exercise.

What You May Notice
Fullness or a soft pad of tissue beneath the chin, loss of jawline definition, and a heavier-looking profile.
Causes & Contributing Factors
Genetics, weight gain, aging, and skin laxity. Many patients with submental fullness are otherwise at a healthy weight.
How We Assess
We assess submental fat amount, skin laxity, jawline contour, and your profile goals.
Treatment Options
Kybella (deoxycholic acid injection) dissolves fat under the chin over a series of sessions. CoolSculpting and surgical options are also available.
When to See a Provider
This is a cosmetic concern. Schedule a consultation when you are ready.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many Kybella sessions are needed?
Most patients need 2 to 4 sessions spaced about 6 weeks apart for optimal results.
Is the fat removal permanent?
Yes. Once fat cells are destroyed, they do not return. Maintaining a stable weight preserves results.
What is the downtime?
Expect swelling under the chin for several days. Most patients return to normal activity within 2 to 3 days.
