A double chin can come from fat, loose skin or both. Fat-related fullness may respond to fat-dissolving injections or SMA:LT, loose skin to Ultherapy or Thermage, and larger amounts to liposuction or a neck lift.
Fat, skin or both?
We first check whether the fullness is mostly fat, mostly loose skin, or a mix, because each needs a different approach.
Options
- Fat-dissolving injection for small fat pockets
- SMA:LT, with settings for the tissue under the chin
- Ultherapy Prime or Shurink for under-chin sagging
- Liposuction or a neck lift for larger changes

Will weight loss fix a double chin?
It can help if fat is the cause, but loose skin or genetics may still need treatment.
