A double chin, medically known as submental fat, is a common concern that affects individuals regardless of age or body type. Whether it’s due to genetics, aging, or weight fluctuations, many seek effective double chin removal options to reduce or eliminate excess chin fat and achieve a more defined jawline. This guide explores both non-surgical and surgical options available at Wave Plastic Surgery to help you make an informed decision.
What Causes a Double Chin?
A double chin isn’t always caused by weight gain. Genetics, aging, posture, and weight fluctuations can all contribute to developing submental fullness.
Non-Surgical Double Chin Treatments
An injectable treatment that dissolves fat under the chin using deoxycholic acid.
Other non-surgical options include Ultherapy and FaceTite, which help tighten the skin and improve jawline definition without surgery. Learn more on our non-surgical treatment page or explore FaceTite for contouring and tightening.
You can treat a double chin non-surgically through a variety of techniques, including fat-freezing, fat-dissolving injections, and skin tightening devices. These double chin reducing treatments are ideal for individuals seeking results with minimal to no downtime.
Double Chin Surgery Options: Liposuction, Neck Lift & Facelift
When natural methods and non-invasive procedures aren’t enough, double chin surgery may be the most effective option for achieving dramatic, long-lasting results. Here are three of the most popular surgical approaches:
Removes excess fat under the chin through a small incision. Liposuction is ideal for individuals with good skin elasticity who want targeted fat removal without excess skin tightening.
A neck lift tightens underlying muscles and removes sagging skin, offering a smooth, youthful jawline. This procedure is often recommended for patients with loose skin or aging-related laxity.

- Facial exercises that target jaw and neck muscles
