Double Chin Reduction: The one thing that everybody notices about us is our face. Now, apart from our eyes, nose and lips, there’s something that adds definition to our face. Wonder what it is?

If you think, our hairlines act as border between our face and our head. That’s something all of us know, and the moment there’s even the slightest of change in the way our hairline looks, we begin to get concerned. However, there’s another facial feature that we mostly never take into consideration, until it ‘doubles’. Yes, we are talking about our chins.

All of us wish to age gracefully with time, but we might encounter a few unwanted changes along the way. We’ve all had this one question on our mind “how will we look when we get old?” Few of those changes could be, wrinkles, a belly, or, even a double chin.

A double chin for a few people can be genetic, which is basically out of anyone’s control. We try many tricks to camouflage a double chin by wearing scarves and turtlenecks. But, these are temporary fixes. What does one do when these fixes get exhausted? We turn to a doctor for a permanent fix and advice.

What’s a double chin?

Weight issues contribute to a double chin. A double chin grows over time, as our skin loses its elasticity and collagen, causing the skin to become saggy around the chin and neck.

Stubborn fat around the chin and the neck can be hard to get rid of and hide at all times, which leads people to opt for a double chin reduction.

Did you know that poor diet, sun exposure, and smoking can also cause a double chin?
