Double Chin

A double chin is a layer of subcutaneous fat around the neck that sags down and creates a wrinkle, making the owner appear to have a second chin.

What causes Double Chin?

• Genetics - There is a chance that your double chin could be caused by hereditary factors. Just like the color of your eyes or hair, your double chin could be a result of your genetics. Take a look at the other members of your family and see if they also have double chins. If many of your family members have double chins then chances are that your condition is caused by genetics.  

• Age - If you're like many people then your double chin can also be a simple consequence of aging. Skin loosening and muscle loss are normal effects of aging. You were probably not unaware of it, but your chin has some muscles too. When these muscles begin to slacken, your risk of developing a double chin increases. The situation is worsened when your skin loses its tautness and elasticity.

• Excess Weight - Perhaps the most common cause of a double chin is simply excess weight or excess body fat. If you are overweight or obese, it's only natural to expect that you will develop a double chin as well. However, just because you are not extremely overweight doesn't mean you are completely safe from a double chin. When you continue to eat a fatty diet and lead a lifestyle that lacks exercise, your face or chin could be one of the first areas where your body will store fat. If your excess weight is the cause of your double chin, you can get rid of it by getting rid of your extra weight.
