Double Chin Removal in Singapore

Double chin, also known as submental fat, is a common condition that occurs when a layer of fat forms below your chin. People with a double chin have an excess layer of fatty tissue under their lower jaw and this can affect individuals of all ages, genders and even BMI – you don’t have to be overweight to get a double chin.

If you have double chin problems and are looking for a non-surgical permanent solution, we have a number of treatment options for you:

What Causes a Double Chin?

There are many factors that may cause double chin to form. The most common factor is weight gain which increases fat accumulation under the chin too. Aside from that, ageing, prolonged sun exposure, lifestyle and diet, genetics, facial structure, and poor posture can all contribute to the formation of a double chin.

Ageing

Ageing is the number one cause of double chin. As you age, your metabolism slows down and your skin loses collagen at the rate of 1-2% every year.

This will result in the accumulation of double chin fat and the development of sagging loose skin around your neck and under-chin, causing prominent double chin.

Genetic

Another common cause of double chin is genetic. Asians tend to have smaller or receded chin, which makes double chin more obvious when there is accumulation of submental fat.

Individuals with a family history of skin with double chins are more likely to develop one too.

Lifestyle & Diet

Lifestyle choices such as spending extended periods of time sitting or standing in one position can cause the muscles in the chin and neck area to weaken. This can lead to sagging skin and eventually a double chin.

Diet also plays a role in double chin formation. Eating foods that are high in fat and calories can cause weight gain, which can lead to a double chin. Conversely, not getting enough protein can also contribute to the development of a double chin. This is because protein helps to build and maintain muscle tissue. Without enough protein, the muscles in the chin and neck area can become weak and saggy.

Facial Structure

One reason someone might have a double chin is due to their facial structure. Certain facial shapes are more prone to double chin, particularly those with a shorter distance from the bottom of the chin to the neck. If you have this type of facial structure, you may notice that you start to develop a double chin even when you are at a healthy weight.

Also, if you have a naturally round or full face, you may be more likely to develop a double chin. This is because there is simply more tissue in the area, which can lead to sagging and creasing.

Poor Posture

Another culprit of a double chin is poor posture. When you slouch, your chin tends to protrude forward, making it more likely that you’ll develop a second chin.

Poor posture can be caused by a variety of factors, including sitting for long periods of time, carrying excess weight, and even wearing high heels. If you want to avoid a double chin, it’s important to maintain good posture.

What Are The Risks Of Having A Double Chin?

Having a double chin can be aesthetically unappealing, but did you know that it can also lead to health risks?

One of the main risks of having a double chin is that it can cause difficulty breathing. The extra fat around the neck can compress the airway, making it difficult to take deep breaths. This can lead to sleep apnea, which is a serious condition that can cause fatigue and other health problems.

A double chin can also cause pain in the neck and jaw. The extra weight can put pressure on the joints, leading to pain and discomfort. In severe cases, it can even lead to arthritis.

Another risk of having a double chin is that it can make you look older than you actually are. This is because the skin around your chin can become saggy and wrinkled. If you’re concerned about the way your double chin makes you look, there are natural and cosmetic treatments available that can help.

What Can I Do To Prevent A Double Chin?

A double chin can be both unsightly and difficult to get rid of. There are many causes of a double chin, including genetics, age, weight gain, and posture. Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to prevent or reduce the appearance of a double chin.

For starters, maintain a healthy weight. If you are overweight, losing even a few pounds can help to reduce the appearance of a double chin. Secondly, practice good posture. Slouching can contribute to the formation of a double chin, so stand up straight and hold your head high.

Finally, try some facial exercises designed specifically to target the muscles around the chin and jawline. Regularly performing these exercises can help to tone and tighten the skin, making a double chin less noticeable.

How To Get Rid Of a Double Chin Without Surgery?

There are a number of ways to get rid of a double chin, and which one is best for you will depend on the cause of your double chin. If your double chin is due to weight gain, facial structure, and poor posture, then losing weight will be the best way to get rid of it. You can do this through a combination of diet and exercise, and there are a number of different diets and exercise programs that can help you to lose weight.

If your double chin is due to genetics or age, then there are a number of different procedures that can be used to get rid of it. Try applying topical treatments like retinol cream or firming serum to help tighten the skin under your chin.
