Fullness beneath the chin can soften the jawline and change the appearance of your facial profile. At Averah, Double Chin Treatment begins with understanding whether the concern comes from fat, skin laxity, facial structure or a combination before creating a personalised contouring plan.

01
What it is
Double Chin Treatment is a personalised approach to reducing or improving fullness beneath the chin, medically known as submental fullness.
The appearance may be related to excess submental fat, skin laxity, chin structure or several factors together. FDA prescribing information for injectable deoxycholic acid specifically advises clinicians to assess other causes of submental fullness and to consider skin laxity before treatment.
02
What can Double Chin Treatment address?
The treatment approach depends on what is contributing to the appearance beneath the chin.
Localised fat beneath the chin may be considered for selected non-surgical or surgical fat-reduction treatments. Injectable deoxycholic acid is approved in the US for moderate-to-severe fullness associated with submental fat in adults.
Reducing selected under-chin fullness may improve the visible transition between the jawline and neck.
Selected contouring approaches may improve excess fullness that affects the appearance of the lower facial profile.
Submental fullness can influence the angle and visual relationship between the chin and neck.
Sometimes limited chin projection contributes to the appearance of a double chin, even when excess fat is not the only concern.
When fullness occurs together with loose skin, reducing fat alone may not create the desired contour and another tightening or surgical approach may need consideration.
WHO MAY NEED FURTHER ASSESSMENT
Some factors require careful assessment before Double Chin Treatment.
Significant loose or hanging neck skin
Prominent neck muscle bands
Previous surgery or aesthetic treatment beneath the chin
Infection or inflammation in the treatment area
Neck swelling that may have another medical cause
03
What to expect
Chin & neck assessment
Submental fullness, skin firmness, chin projection and jawline definition are evaluated from the front and side profile.
Personalised treatment planning
Depending on the cause, management may focus on reducing selected submental fat, improving skin support or addressing structural facial balance.
Contour & progress review
Improvement develops according to the treatment used. With injectable deoxycholic acid, reduction occurs gradually rather than immediately and repeated sessions may be required.

Physician note
A double chin is not always just excess fat.
Skin laxity, chin projection and underlying neck anatomy can all influence the profile. Identifying the main cause helps avoid unnecessary fat reduction and creates a more balanced treatment strategy.

Questions
A double chin can be influenced by localised submental fat, genetics, skin laxity, ageing and facial structure. In some patients, limited chin projection can also make under-chin fullness appear more noticeable.
Yes. Submental fullness can occur across different body types and may be influenced by genetics and facial anatomy as well as fat distribution.
Injectable deoxycholic acid can reduce selected submental fat. In the US, KYBELLA is indicated for moderate-to-severe fullness associated with submental fat in adults.
Deoxycholic acid disrupts fat cells within the treated submental tissue, after which the disrupted fat is gradually cleared.
There is no single number for everyone. FDA labelling permits up to six deoxycholic-acid treatments at intervals of at least one month, although the actual number depends on individual assessment and response.
Not necessarily. If skin laxity is a major contributor, reducing fat alone may produce an unsatisfactory result, so skin-tightening or another approach may need consideration.
Swelling, bruising, pain, numbness, redness and firmness are common after deoxycholic-acid injections.
Yes. Deoxycholic-acid injections can rarely cause temporary nerve injury affecting the smile, difficulty swallowing, tissue injury or other complications, which is why detailed anatomical knowledge and correct injection technique are important.
Yes. When there is substantial fat, significant loose skin or more complex neck anatomy, liposuction or surgical neck contouring may be considered instead of—or alongside—non-surgical options.

PERSONALISED DOUBLE CHIN CARE
Better definition starts with identifying what sits beneath the chin.
Two patients can have a similar-looking double chin for completely different reasons. One may primarily have submental fat, while another may have skin laxity, limited chin projection or a combination.
At Averah, treatment planning focuses on your submental fat, skin firmness, chin projection, jawline and overall profile before selecting the most appropriate contouring strategy.
