Causes
Genetics
+
Genetic predisposition plays a significant role in the distribution of fat throughout the body, including the submental area.
Weight Gain
+
Excess weight or obesity can lead to the accumulation of fat deposits in various areas of the body, including the chin and neck.
Aging
+
As we age, our skin loses elasticity and collagen, leading to sagging and laxity in the chin and neck area.
Poor Posture
+
Maintaining poor posture over time can weaken the muscles in the neck and contribute to the appearance of a double chin.
Submental Fat
+
Some individuals may naturally store more fat under the chin due to factors such as hormonal changes or metabolic conditions.
