DOUBLE CHIN TREATMENT IN MORPETH
Submental Fat (Double Chin)
Fullness beneath the chin, often referred to as a double chin, can affect the definition of the jawline and the profile of the lower face. It may be influenced by localised fat, genetics, ageing or changes in skin elasticity, and can occur at different body weights.
The most suitable treatment depends on what is contributing to the area. Where localised fat is the main concern, fat-dissolving injections may be an option. Where mild skin laxity affects the appearance beneath the chin, a skin-tightening treatment may be worth considering.
A considered approach to submental fat
At SG Aesthetics, Sarah Gilmour assesses the area beneath the chin, taking into account your facial anatomy, skin condition and desired outcome. This helps determine whether a non-surgical treatment may be appropriate and what degree of improvement is realistic.
Recommended Treatments
Fat-Dissolving Injections (DesoFace®)
Fat-dissolving injections are designed to target localised fat beneath the chin. In suitable patients, treatment may help reduce fullness and improve the definition of the lower face. The number of treatments required and the degree of improvement will vary. A consultation is essential to assess suitability and discuss potential side effects and risks.
HIFU
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) delivers focused energy beneath the skin to stimulate collagen remodelling. Where mild skin laxity contributes to fullness beneath the chin, it may help improve firmness and the appearance of the lower face. HIFU does not directly dissolve fat, and its suitability depends on the cause of the concern.
Sarah will explain the potential benefits, limitations and risks of each option during your consultation, helping you understand which approach may be appropriate for you.
