Double Chin
Many people feel self-conscious about a double chin, the common term for fat around the neck and under the chin. Fullness in this area can detract from your facial profile and create an undefined jawline. Fortunately, the Langdon Center offers several treatment options to help get rid of a double chin.
What is Submental Fat?

Losing fat in the neck area is particularly difficult through simple weight loss, making it a challenging concern to overcome. A double chin may also develop or worsen with age as skin laxity contributes to jowls and a sagging neck and jawline.
