Double Chin
Free Consultation
In a world filled with online images of flawlessly contoured chins and sculpted jawlines, the presence of a double-chin can make anyone feel insecure about their appearance. Excess fat under the chin, also called “submental fullness,” can make us appear older and heavier than we actually are. For men, it can make facial features appear softer, and less masculine. For women, a double chin can diminish our confidence in wearing neckline revealing fashions. There are currently two predominant, non-surgical methods to decrease submental fullness, slim your chin, and make you love your profile again!
A double chin can be an unfortunate genetic trait, as well as one acquired through weight gain. When genetics are in play, it is almost impossible to ditch a double chin, even with diet and exercise. When submental fullness occurs due to weight gain, someone can find it difficult to lose this last bit of facial fat even when they have resumed a healthy lifestyle and lost weight. At one time, only surgical intervention, such as liposuction, could address a double chin. But there are now two highly effective, safe, and completely non-surgical options available to those who would prefer to avoid the cost and downtime of surgery. Both are offered at Skin Artisans!
Kybella® is the first and only injectable treatment that is FDA-approved to decrease submental fullness. The active ingredient in Kybella® is synthetic deoxycholic acid. This is a naturally occurring molecule in our bodies that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When Kybella® is injected into the fat beneath your chin, it destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness and improvements to the contours of your chin and jawline over time. Although multiple treatments may be needed depending on the initial amount of fat present under your chin, results are permanent.
It’s important to note that a double chin differs from what many people call a turkey neck, or loose, excess skin under the chin and jawline. For Kybella® to be effective, fat must be present. Thin, crepey, and sagging skin under your chin or jawline is best treated with plastic surgery.
Our team of Injection Specialists are also uniquely skilled in helping you gain a more defined jawline and slimmer chin. Each has been injecting Kybella® for at least five years or more, and once your results have set in, can further enhance the angles and sharpness of your jawline with the use of cosmetic injectables if needed.
Kybella® is extremely effective in helping you ditch your double chin. To determine which option is best suited for you, we recommend scheduling a complimentary consultation with both an Advanced Practice Esthetician and Injection Specialist. Before long, you’ll be on your way to tossing turtlenecks aside and proudly showing off your new profile!

Whether due to acne scarring, wrinkles, or enlarged pores, having uneven skin can be frustrating. When skin is smooth, light bounces evenly across its surface, imparting a bright, radiant complexion. When our skin’s surface is uneven, light refracts off its surface, causing shadows and dullness. Collagen damage or loss is the leading cause of most…
