What causes fullness under the chin?
Fullness under the chin, sometimes referred to as “double chin,” is a common, yet under-treated, facial aesthetic concern that can impact a broad range of adults, including both women and men. Causes may include:
- Aging: it may naturally develop as you age
- Genetics: simply said, it may be part of your DNA
- Weight changes: it may be a result of gaining weight
Sometimes, no matter how much you diet or exercise, the fullness in this area may not go away, and may make you feel like you look older and heavier than you actually are.
If you’re bothered by it, you’re not alone
