Double chin or jowls – what to do about it?

The reason for today’s blog article lies in the recent increase in our client inquiries. Our clients are both women and men of different ages who are trying to find a solution to their double chin problem in order to support their beauty and well-being. We often hear that weight has been lost or the problem is hereditary, and getting rid of a double chin is a dream that has been in their minds for a long time.

What causes a double chin?

The causes of a double chin are diverse and can affect people of all ages and body types. Based on our long-term experience, a double chin is one of the biggest aesthetic problems for many women and men. A double chin, or chin lump in popular parlance, can occur in different people, regardless of their body shape and weight. Contrary to the popular belief that a chin lump is a problem for curvy people, this problem is actually familiar to slim people of all ages. Today, a double chin is treatable and solvable, and in this blog we will discuss modern approaches to solving the problem of a double chin.

Some of the main causes of a double chin are:

👉 Genetic predisposition: A natural tendency to develop a double chin

👉 Posture: Poor posture can cause the muscles around the neck and chin to weaken and the skin to become loose, which can lead to fat accumulation in the chin area.

👉 Body fat distribution: Weight gain or extreme dieting can cause fat to redistribute throughout the body, including the chin area.

👉 Late pregnancy and fluid retention: Fluid retention during the last months of pregnancy can cause a temporary double chin that can persist after delivery.

👉 Aging: As we age, collagen production decreases, which leads to sagging skin and can lead to a double chin.

Exercise and diet

Various exercises can help strengthen and tighten the muscles in the neck, chin, and jaw. Unfortunately, they do not necessarily reduce fat and loose skin. Muscle and fat are different tissues, so while you can train specific areas to increase muscle mass, it may not result in the desired reduction of fat deposits or skin tightening.

If a double chin is caused by weight gain, a healthy diet and regular exercise can help reduce a double chin, but it is not always a guaranteed solution to the problem of a double chin. However, diet and exercise are important supporting elements and should be on your list of priorities.

Effective solutions to the problem of a double chin

Fat cell freezing

This method uses cooling technology to freeze fat cells under the skin without damaging the skin surface. The freezing essentially destroys the fat cells, and the body eliminates them through the metabolic process. Multiple sessions are required to achieve the desired results (depending on the size of the area).

Facial massages

Massage for the face, and especially the double chin area, is beneficial for improving skin circulation, relieving muscle tension, and increasing skin elasticity. Combined with other measures, they help improve or prevent the appearance of a double chin. Plastic facial massage – Melior Clinics

HIFU

Ultrasound fat reduction treatment uses ultrasound energy to safely destroy fat cells under the skin at a depth of 4.5 millimeters. In addition to the above, this treatment has another advantage – as a result of the procedure, you will also get a tightening result on the skin. The heat generated during the treatment stimulates your own collagen fibers, causing them to contract and regenerate, which further tightens the chin area. Ultrasound fat reduction is an excellent choice for those with moderate sagging under the chin. HIFU Smas-Lifting – Melior Clinics

Lipolitics

Lipolitics are an injectable treatment method that acts locally as a fat-dissolving agent. Lipolytics are substances that promote the breakdown and removal of fat from the body. Lipolytics increase the breakdown of fat cells (lipolysis) or reduce the deposition of fat cells. Lipolytics can be either natural compounds or synthetically produced substances that use the body’s own biochemical processes to regulate fat metabolism. Lipolitic Dr. Lipo V – Melior Clinics 

Fillers

Clients who do not have a double chin, but whose chin blends smoothly into the neck, have received a solution from us with fillers. Fillers do not remove fat, but are often used to contour and define the chin and jawline. This is especially popular with clients who want to give their face more structure. The results are natural and subtle, so if you are looking for a dramatic effect, this may be the method for you. Fillers Revolax Sub Q – Melior Clinics

Collagen stimulation

To improve the appearance of a double chin, especially in cases of sagging skin, we use collagen stimulation methods, such as Radiesse and threads. Both methods stimulate collagen production, which improves the structure and strength of the skin. During the procedures, we achieve a lifting and tightening effect, which significantly improves the appearance of a double chin. Radiesse – Melior Clinics
