There are many treatments to get rid of a double chin, including a diet change, exercise and even surgery. We use a series of revolutionary non-surgical treatments to get rid of a double chin here at PHI Clinic London.
 

Endolift
 

Endolift is a high-tech treatment which combines skin tightening with fat removal. It is extremely well suited to treating a double chin, as it is able to reduce the fatty pocket while simultaneously tightening the jawline. It has minimal or no downtime.

Endolift treatment at PHI Clinic is offered by our highly experienced Endolift practitioners, and medical director Dr Tapan Patel. 

Emface

Emface to target both fat and muscle tissues beneath the chin. This dual-action mechanism results in a more sculpted and youthful appearance, addressing both the volume and laxity concerns associated with a double chin.

Dermal filler

By injecting dermal fillers into the affected area, our specialist team of doctors and nurses can restore definition to your chin and jawline. The best part is that fillers are temporary and non-surgical. Jawline and chin fillers have the power to enhance and define the structure of the lower face, reducing the appearance of a double chin. 

At our London clinic, we use Juvéderm dermal fillers that contain hyaluronic acid, a  hydrating substance that occurs naturally in your body. By injecting these fillers, we can effectively replenish lost volume and give your skin a lift exactly where it's needed. 

Genetics. Fat distribution can be hereditary, up to a point. Your genes can influence how and where your body stores fat, including the area under your jaw. 

Posture. Poor posture can contribute to the development of a double chin, as it weakens the muscles in the neck, jaw and chin area. A typical example of poor posture is being hunched over a phone or computer, which can lead to 'tech neck'. As the muscles weaken, the surrounding skin loses its elasticity and can sag or droop. This causes a stubborn pocket of fat below the chin to appear.

Diet. When you regularly consume more calories than you burn, the excess is stored as fat all over the body, including the area under the neck. The foods that typically cause weight gain have a dual impact on submental fat. Not only does a diet high in sugar, processed foods, and unhealthy fats provide excess calories, it can also lead to the breakdown of collagen in the skin. The resulting skin laxity, coupled with weight gain, can worsen the appearance of a double chin.

Age. As we age, collagen and elastin synthesis in the skin naturally reduces, which leads to skin laxity. This sagging can contribute to a double chin as it creates the appearance of a fat pocket at the jawline. A double chin is therefore a sign of ageing, just like lines and wrinkles.
