Skin laxity and fat accumulation along the jawline, chin and neck results in sagging jowls and a double chin as we age. This gives the face a droopy, elongated look.
Double Chin & Jowl Concern
As we get older, the lower half of the face is prone to skin loosening and excess fat accumulation, leading to the development of jowls and double chin. As the facial structure descends with age, bands and cords become visible along the neck.
Jowls combined with double chin give the lower face a heavy elongated look. It adds years to one’s appearance and detracts from the cheekbones.
What is Double Chin & Jowl?
Jowls form as the skin around the jawline loses elasticity due to reduced collagen. Sagging occurs along the jaw creating droopy folds around the corners of the mouth.
Weight gain, genetics, aging and normal fat pad movement over time can cause excess fat deposit around the chin and upper neck as well. This creates a double chin profile that obscures the natural jawline.
What Causes a Double Chin?
Several factors contribute to the development of a double chin:
Aging
As we age, collagen and elastin production declines, causing the skin to sag.
Genetics
Inherited traits, such as a weaker jawline or predisposition to fat storage under the chin.
Weight
Weight gain can lead to fat deposits beneath the chin.
Posture
Poor posture weakens the neck muscles, leading to a sagging effect.
What Are The Double Chin & Jowl Treatments?
Skin tightening treatments offer effective options to lift, smooth and tighten the lower face. By stimulating collagen and addressing volume loss, a more youthful, contoured appearance can be restored for the face, including along the jaw, chin and neck.
Ultherapy
