Facial Structure
Some aspects, such as facial features, are uncontrollable and can contribute to double chins. For example, people with weak jawlines and recessive chins are especially prone to double chins. This is due to the skin being strained over a smaller region.
Furthermore, because it is less tightly pulled across the face, a double chin can be produced by a slight increase in body fat or a decline in skin elasticity. This is likely the cause of specific skinny individuals who has double chins.
Invasive techniques are also used to treat double chins. For example, lipolysis (liposculpture) melts fat away and shapes the skin using laser heat or liposuction. When treating a double chin with lipolysis, a topical anesthetic is typically all that is required.
Lipolysis only addresses fat. It doesn’t get rid of extra skin or make the skin more elastic. Swelling, bruising, discomfort, and pain are possible lipolysis side effects.
