What causes a double chin? An overview
A double chin means fullness under the chin, sometimes combined with loose skin or the natural shape of the neck. It can soften the profile even at a stable weight.
A medical assessment helps distinguish localized fat from skin laxity and anatomical features, so the approach can be tailored to your profile.
