Since it only takes a small amount of fat to change the way someone\u2019s neck looks, this is a problem area for many people. Whether you have inherited it or acquired it over time, the pesky layer of chin fat that we refer to as a double chin is in one of the most prominent places on your body, the\u00a0<\/span>face<\/span><\/strong><\/a>. Luckily, there are ways to reduce the volume of your chin fat through surgical and non-surgical procedures.<\/span><\/p>\n

Haute Beauty:\u00a0Can double chins be permanent?<\/h3>\n

Double chins often are permanent in that once they show up, it rarely goes away on its own even with vigorous diet and exercise. Fortunately, there are a variety of options to address this that can range from non-surgical to surgical.<\/span><\/p>\n

HB: Is it true that chewing gum can reduce a double chin?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Chewing gum works out the muscles of chewing, which are typically found above your jawline. It is not going to do too much for your neck\/chin area.<\/span><\/p>\n

HB: What are at-home options to reduce the size of a double chin?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Outside of diet and general calorie-burning exercise, there isn\u2019t much someone can do at home to help their double chin.<\/span><\/p>\n

HB: What are surgical treatment options to remove a double chin?<\/span><\/h3>\n

It depends on what is causing the problem. Sometimes it is just fat only. Sometimes it is loose skin. Sometimes it is both. You must address the source of the problem.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Treatments that target fat can include things like Coolscultping, Kybella, and neck liposuction.\u00a0<\/span>Neck liposuction<\/span><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is a procedure that involves removing fat in the neck area. A good candidate for neck liposuction is someone who has fat in their neck above the muscles. If the fat is under the muscles, a different surgery may be required.<\/span><\/p>\n
