Double Chin

The Dreaded Double Chin

The double chin, also referred to as submental fat, is a condition with an excessive fat pocketed tissue underneath the chin. Double chins generally form as a result of weight gain, but there are other factors at play as well. In fact, an otherwise fit or average weight person may develop a double chin due to age or posture, or even from genetic predisposition.

What causes a double chin?

With age, the skin and fat tissues may lose their elasticity and structure, which can cause the appearance of a double chin due to drooping.

Posture can even contribute to the formation of a double chin. If your posture is poor, your neck and facial muscles may weaken over time, causing the skin in these areas to droop and lose their elasticity.

There are also genetic factors, as some may be more predisposed to developing this condition.

What treatments are available for the Double Chin or Submental Fat?

At Brandish Clinic, our primary treatments for double chin are Kybella injections and Protege Radio Frequency treatment.

Protege Radio Frequency

Protege Radio Frequency is a cutting-edge treatment to stimulate collagen production in the skin tissues. As we age, our skin and surrounding tissues tend to slow their production of collagen, an important structural protein. This technology uses radio frequency waves to heat the skin to an optimal temperature, which encourages collagen production. With repeated treatments your skin can re-enrich itself with adequate collagen, rejuvenating its elasticity and firmness. By using this treatment in the submental areas, the skin can be firmed and tightened. This works synergistically with Kybella injection to reduce double chin appearance, while tightening the tissue underneath, thereby restoring the chin’s youthful contours.

Kybella

Kybella is a cosmetic injection used to directly target areas for fat reduction. As you can imagine, it makes for a great double chin treatment, since it can be injected directly into the submental fat layer to reduce its volume and effectively reduce a double chin back to normal! It utilizes a special fat-dissolving formula, making it a great non-surgical way to remove fat.

What should I expect with the treatment?

To start, you and Dr. Brandish will develop an individualized treatment plan to determine which double chin treatment may be most effective for your individual case. Treatment expectations will depend heavily on the type of treatment used.

Double Chin Summary

Double chin is an extremely common condition in which the skin and fat areas beneath the chin create the appearance of a second chin. This usually happens as a result of weight gain, where a layer of fat forms beneath the chin (also called submental fat). Other factors contribute to this condition too, such as age-related skin/fat tissues integrity loss, posture, and genetic factors as well. At Brandish Clinic, we employ some of the most high-tech treatments available to help restore the chin’s youthful contours and do away with double chin. Kybella works wonders as a double chin treatment as it allows clinicians to directly target and dissolve submental fat. Protege Radio Frequency also serves as a powerful way to increase collagen production in the skin using radio frequency weaves to heat the tissues underneath the chin, which results in long-term skin tightening.

PATIENT REVIEWS

—Gladys E.

I originally started seeing a different beauty doctor in San Diego, but I was not satisfied with my results. I also didn't like the fact that he didn't give much input andI stop going there. Then I found Dr. Brandish's office and I gave it a try. My first visit with Dr. Brandish was very pleasant, she asked what I was looking for and she gave me her opinion on that would work best. I was very happy with my results with dysport fillers. I have been coming to Dr. Brandish Clinic for five years. I highly recommend Dr. Brandish Clinic.

—Ciara L.

I have been going to Brandish clinic for a few years. She always does an excellent job and knows just how to make me feel and look better. She never over does my treatments and makes me look natural. She always works with me to make me my best self. I would and do highly recommend Brandish Clinic for Botox for any facial rejuvenation you may interested in. Check out her specials on her website.

—Sean O.

What a wonderful and relaxing experience for Botox. Men who want to stay more youthful looking need to see Dr. Brandish, she is a true artist. Very relaxing office and she is an expert at discussing treatment options. This is my third visit and I plan on seeing her for my regular follow up visits as well.

—Terri B.

I have been going to Dr. Brandish for over a year and completely trust her. She listens to what I want and I always love the results. Her prices are competitive. I wouldn't risk going to anyone else. I was initially referred by a friend and learned later of so many more of my friends that go to her. They all look amazing ! You won't be disappointed. I recommend Dr. Brandish with confidence !

—Candy F.

I love love love this clinic. Dr. Brandish is a perfectionist and I always leave feeling youthful and very happy with my results. I've had Botox and fillers with other doctors and she has had to fix the mistakes. I only go to her as of 2017. Also, when I walk in, I'm always greeted with a smile and professional attitude from her receptionist Brenda.
