A double chin (submental fullness) is excess fat accumulated under the chin and along the jawline. It's one of the most common aesthetic concerns and can affect people of all ages and body types.
Primary causes include: Genetics (predisposition to storing fat in this area), weight gain, aging and loss of skin elasticity, poor posture, and loose facial skin. Some people are genetically predisposed to double chins regardless of their overall weight.
Why it matters: A double chin can make the face appear heavier, blur the jawline definition, and age the appearance. It's often one of the first signs of aging and weight gain many people notice.
The good news: Unlike surgery, modern non-surgical treatments like Kybella and CoolSculpting offer permanent fat reduction without downtime. These options permanently destroy fat cells in the submental area.
We offer multiple proven treatments to eliminate submental fat and redefine your jawline. Each approach works differently, and our physicians will recommend the best option for your anatomy and goals.
FDA-approved injectable that permanently destroys fat cells under the chin. Deoxycholic acid breaks down fat cells which are then naturally eliminated by your body. Results develop over 4-8 weeks, and most patients need 2-4 treatment sessions.

Learn More →Kybella is ideal. Multiple sessions over months allow for customized results. You control the pace and can adjust density at each treatment.
CoolSculpting is perfect. A single session requires 25-30 minutes with no needles. Gradual results over 8-12 weeks feel more natural to others.
Combine treatments: CoolSculpting or Kybella for fat plus Botox for platysmal bands. This comprehensive approach addresses multiple concerns simultaneously.
Sequential treatments work best. Start with fat reduction (Kybella or CoolSculpting), then add Botox at 2-week intervals for optimal muscle relaxation and jawline sculpting.
