A double chin, also known as submental fat, is something many people deal with, regardless of age or body type. While excess weight is a common contributor, genetics, aging, and even posture can also play a role. If you’re looking to define your jawline and eliminate that persistent fat beneath the chin, understanding the causes and exploring effective treatment options can help you achieve the results you want.
One of the biggest reasons for a double chin is facial fat accumulation. When we gain weight, fat can deposit in multiple areas, including under the chin. However, even those at a healthy weight may develop a double chin simply due to their body’s unique fat distribution.
If your family members have a tendency to carry fat under the chin or have looser skin, you might have a hereditary tendency to develop a double chin as well. Some people naturally store fat in this area regardless of lifestyle or diet.
With aging, the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin slows down, causing looser skin. This natural loss of elasticity can make the area under the chin sag, even if there’s not a significant amount of fat. This is why some people develop a double chin later in life despite maintaining a stable weight.
Spending hours looking down at screens or having having improper posture over time can lead to muscle weakness in the neck and chin region. Over time, this muscle weakening allows the skin to sag, making a double chin more noticeable.
A smaller or recessed chin can make fat accumulation under the jawline more prominent. The way your jaw and chin are structured impacts how fat is distributed in the area, sometimes making a double chin appear more noticeable than it would on someone with a stronger jawline.
Although shedding excess weight may lower overall body fat, targeted chin fat reduction is not always possible through diet and exercise alone. When stubborn fat under the chin won’t budge, truSculpt® iD offers a powerful, non-surgical double chin treatment for contouring and refining the jawline.
truSculpt® iD is an FDA-approved, non-invasive body contouring treatment that uses monopolar radiofrequency (RF) energy to permanently destroy fat cells. Unlike surgical options like liposuction, truSculpt® iD doesn’t require incisions, anesthesia, or downtime. It also has the added benefit of tightening the skin while eliminating fat, making it an ideal solution for jawline contouring.
truSculpt® iD works by delivering controlled RF energy deep into the fat layer under the chin. This heat-based technology raises the temperature of fat cells, triggering apoptosis (cell death). Once the fat cells are destroyed, the body gradually eliminates them through the lymphatic system over several weeks.
At the same time, the RF energy also stimulates collagen production, which improves skin elasticity and firmness, helping to create a more sculpted and youthful look.
Before the procedure, a consultation is scheduled to assess whether truSculpt® iD is the right choice for you. A specialist will evaluate factors such as the amount of submental fat and skin laxity to determine the most effective approach.
Here’s what happens during the session:
Most people describe the sensation as a warm, relaxing experience similar to a hot stone massage. There’s no need for anesthesia or numbing agents.
One of the biggest benefits of truSculpt® iD is zero downtime. You can go back to work, exercise, or resume daily activities immediately after the treatment. Some mild redness or tenderness may be present for a few hours, but these effects fade quickly.
Since truSculpt® iD also boosts collagen production, the skin appears firmer and tighter along with fat reduction, creating a naturally contoured jawline.
Liposuction and other surgical procedures require anesthesia, incisions, and recovery time. truSculpt® iD is completely non-invasive, meaning you can get the treatment and go about your day right after.
Many fat-reduction treatments focus solely on eliminating fat without addressing skin laxity. truSculpt® iD does both—eliminating fat while improving skin firmness, which is crucial for achieving a well-defined jawline.
The procedure is fast, taking just 15 minutes, and feels like a warm massage rather than an invasive procedure.
Once fat cells are destroyed, they do not return. As long as a healthy lifestyle is maintained, the results can be long-lasting.
truSculpt® iD is ideal for individuals who:
A double chin isn’t always related to weight gain—factors like genetics, aging, and posture can all contribute. While some lifestyle changes may help, stubborn submental fat often requires a targeted approach.
For those looking for a non-invasive, effective, and comfortable way to eliminate a double chin, truSculpt® iD delivers. With no surgery, no downtime, and noticeable results, it’s an excellent solution for achieving a slimmer, more sculpted jawline.
