Double Chin

Does your online search history include phrases like ‘how to get rid of double chin?’ or ‘why do I have a double chin?’ You’re in good company, as many people struggle with this common problem. Here’s what you need to know about the causes of a double chin, double chin treatment options, and double chin removal in Sydney.

The effects of a double chin on your appearance

Why do people get upset about having a double chin? The reasons vary, but they all cause anxiety about attractiveness and lowered self-esteem or self-confidence.

For many people, a double chin is equated with the ageing process, making them feel older than they are. This is especially true if the double chin begins before middle age.

Some people don’t like having a double chin because it gives their jawline a weak appearance. While it used to be only men for whom a strong jaw mattered, a firm jaw is also desirable for women nowadays. Still, other people feel overweight when they have a double chin, even if the rest of their body is slim. They may become embarrassed about having their photo taken and go to lengths to avoid having their double chin on display for all to see.

Double chin causes

Multiple things can cause a double chin. Getting a double chin in your 20s, 30s, or 40s, for example, can happen if you are genetically predisposed to this anatomy. If one of your parents developed a double chin at an early age, you might as well. Of course, old ageing can also cause the chin to sag over time. This is partly due to the fact the skin loses elasticity as we age.

Weight gain and weight loss can also contribute to a double chin, either through extra fat accumulating there or sagging skin. Pregnancy and hormonal changes are other causes of a double chin.

How to get rid of a double chin

If you have been researching how to reduce or eliminate your double chin, you’ve probably encountered a variety of methods, some of which work and others don’t. In most cases, chin straps and double chin exercises aren’t enough to reverse the process, especially if you have a stubborn fat pocket there.

Surgery can remove a double chin, usually through a lift combined with liposuction if fat is present. However, this is costly and potentially hazardous. You must undergo general anaesthesia for this procedure, and you’re left with a long, painful recovery time, during which your activities are restricted.

Fortunately, there are safe, non-invasive options available to you at Elite Body Contouring. We offer several different non-surgical treatments for a double chin, depending on your unique situation and what’s causing your double chin. A free consultation can help us determine which method, or combination of methods, is right for you.

ULTRAcel HIFU non-surgical facelift

This treatment tightens and defines the skin around the face and neck. It also helps to stimulate collagen production, which restores some elasticity to the skin to improve its texture and prevent sagging. The end result is smoother, younger-looking skin.

PowerShape RF face skin tightening

Radio frequency (RF) technology is used to create smoother, healthier, and more youthful-looking skin. A terrific alternative to surgery, this pain-free treatment is clinically proven to firm, lift, and tighten the skin around the face and neck.

ULTRAcel HIFU chin sculpt

Designed to combat double chins, ULTRAcel HIFU chin sculpt reduces fat while sculpting the neck and jawline. You get firmer, tighter, more lifted skin, and there’s no downtime post-treatment.

CoolShaping cryolipolysis chin freeze

This method is ideal for destroying stubborn fat cells underneath the chin. If you have lost weight but have some fat remaining that gives you a pronounced double chin, CoolShaping may be the right treatment for you.
