A defined jawline is a sign of youth and confidence, but for many people, a stubborn double chin can take away from that sleek, contoured look. The frustrating part? Even with a healthy diet and regular exercise, the area under the chin is one of the hardest places to slim down naturally.
The good news is that advancements in cosmetic treatments mean you don’t have to live with a double chin if you don’t want to. From liposuction to ThermiTight and lifting threads, there are several ways to achieve a more sculpted, youthful neckline.
Before diving into solutions, it’s important to understand why double chins develop in the first place. Some people assume it’s just about weight gain, but in reality, multiple factors contribute to fat accumulation in this area:
✅ Genetics – If your family members tend to store fat under their chin, you may be more prone to it, regardless of your weight.
✅ Aging – Over time, skin loses elasticity, and underlying structures weaken, causing sagging.
✅ Weight Fluctuations – Gaining and losing weight repeatedly can lead to loose skin under the chin.
✅ Poor Posture – Looking down at your phone or computer all day can weaken neck muscles and contribute to sagging.
Now that we know the causes, let’s look at how to get rid of it.
For those who want instant and dramatic results, chin liposuction is one of the most effective ways to eliminate a double chin. This minimally invasive procedure removes excess fat from under the chin and along the jawline, giving you a permanently slimmer profile.
✔ Great for: People with stubborn fat under the chin but good skin elasticity
✔ Recovery: Minimal downtime; swelling and bruising subside within a few weeks
✔ Results: Permanent fat removal with long-lasting contouring
At Acadia Women’s Health, our in-office surgical suites provide a safe, private, and convenient experience for chin liposuction.
If skin laxity (looseness) is part of the problem, ThermiTight is a game-changer. This minimally invasive treatment uses radiofrequency energy to tighten skin and stimulate collagen production, helping the jawline look firmer and more youthful.
✔ Great for: Those with mild to moderate skin sagging who don’t want surgery
✔ Recovery: Minimal downtime with mild swelling
✔ Results: Gradual tightening over 3–6 months with long-lasting improvements
ThermiTight is an excellent option for patients who want a more defined jawline without the need for incisions or extensive recovery time.
For patients looking for an instant lift without surgery, PDO lifting threads are a quick and effective solution. This procedure involves inserting dissolvable sutures under the skin to lift and support sagging tissue.
✔ Great for: Mild sagging with loss of definition along the jawline
✔ Recovery: Minimal downtime with some mild swelling and bruising
✔ Results: Instant lifting effect that continues to improve as collagen builds over time
PDO threads provide a natural-looking lift while also stimulating collagen, helping the skin stay firmer over time.
With so many options available, it’s important to choose the right treatment for your unique needs, goals, and skin condition.
