Common Concerns

Double Chin

Redefine your profile.

It's the stubborn pocket of fat that diet and exercise often can't touch. Whether it's genetics or aging, a double chin can make you look heavier and older than you actually are.

Is it fat, loose skin, or bone structure? Dr. Jiang determines the root cause.

The Science

Why It's So Stubborn

Submental fat is biologically different from other body fat.

Genetics

If your parents had a double chin, you are genetically predisposed to store fat here, regardless of your gym routine.

Aging & Gravity

As facial muscles weaken and skin loses elasticity, the fat pads descend and settle under the jaw.

Weight Fluctuations

Gaining weight expands existing fat cells, but losing weight often leaves this specific pocket behind.

Skeletal Structure

A receding chin or small jawbone provides less structural support for the skin/fat, causing it to sag earlier.

🌏

The Asian Chin Structure

Many Asian patients have 'Microgenia' (a naturally smaller or receding chin). This skeletal structure means there is less bone to 'tent out' the skin and muscle. Even a small amount of fat can look like a double chin. In these cases, reducing fat isn't enough; we often need to project the chin with fillers to create a true V-line.

FAQ

Fat Loss Q&A

No. Both CoolSculpting and Belkyra permanently destroy fat cells. Once they are gone, they cannot grow back. However, remaining fat cells can expand if you gain significant weight.
This is a common concern. If you have poor skin elasticity, removing fat might leave 'empty' loose skin. In this case, we recommend combining fat reduction with Ultherapy to tighten the skin.
Belkyra causes an inflammatory reaction to break down fat. Significant swelling (often looking like a 'bullfrog') is normal and expected for 3-5 days. CoolSculpting has much less swelling.
Unfortunately, 'spot reduction' through exercise is impossible. You cannot target submental fat by doing neck exercises. Medical intervention is usually required for this specific pocket.
By projecting a weak chin forward, we elongate the jawline. This physically stretches the skin under the chin tighter, instantly improving the appearance of fullness.
