What Causes a Double Chin?

A double chin, or submental fat, can develop due to:

• Genetics (family history of fat accumulation under the chin)
• Aging (loss of skin elasticity and collagen)
• Poor posture (leading to weakened muscles and sagging skin)
• Weight gain (excess fat stored in the lower face and neck)

Even individuals with a healthy weight can struggle with a double chin that’s resistant to diet and exercise.

Best Double Chin Treatments at Gangnam YAAN Skin Clinic

1. Fat Dissolving Injections (Lipolysis / Kybella-Type Treatments)

Our customized fat dissolving injections use safe, KFDA-approved deoxycholic acid-based solutions to break down and eliminate stubborn fat under the chin. This non-surgical treatment is ideal for sculpting a slimmer, more contoured jawline.

2. High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)

Treatments like Shurink or Ultherapy use focused ultrasound energy to tighten and lift the skin in the chin and jawline area. HIFU stimulates collagen production and gives a natural lifting effect with no downtime.

3. RF Microneedling (Scarlet RF or INTRAcel)

Radiofrequency microneedling not only helps with skin tightening, but also melts fat and improves the appearance of a sagging chin over multiple sessions.

4. Thread Lifting (PDO Threads for Jawline)

For moderate sagging and skin laxity, thread lifting provides an instant mechanical lift while stimulating long-term collagen remodeling. It’s a popular option for reshaping the chin and jaw without surgery.

5. Jawline Botox (Masseter Reduction)

Botox injections into the jaw muscle can slim and contour the lower face, enhancing the definition of the jawline and complementing other double chin treatments.
