Double Chin

A double chin, also known as submental fullness, refers to the layer of fat that forms below the chin, creating the appearance of a second chin. It is commonly associated with weight gain but can also be influenced by genetics and the natural aging process, which reduces skin elasticity.

This condition may become more prominent with time as skin loses firmness and fat redistributes. Even individuals of normal body weight can experience a double chin due to hereditary factors or structural characteristics like a weak chin or jawline. While primarily a cosmetic concern, it can affect self-image and confidence.
