What is submental fullness?
Submental fullness, sometimes referred to as “double chin,” is a common yet under-treated facial aesthetic condition. It can impact a broad range of adults, including both men and women, and can be influenced by several factors such as aging, genetics and weight gain, and is often resistant to diet and exercise alone.
If you’re bothered by submental fullness, you’re not alone. According to a 2014 survey conducted by the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS), 68% of people said they’re bothered by under-the-chin fullness, or double chin and many people are just as bothered by under-the-chin fullness as they are by lines and wrinkles around and under their eyes.
