Also called submental fat, double chin is a common condition where a layer of fat accumulates below the chin. Although associated with being overweight, a double chin is not always linked to weight gain. With age, the skin tends to lose its strength, structure, and elasticity because the body produces lesser amounts of collagen – the skin health protein. Weight fluctuations, uneven fat distribution, natural stretching and pulling of the skin, and facial cartilage deterioration can all contribute to a double chin. Sun exposure and smoking add to the problem, while genetics can also play a role in fat accumulation below the chin.
This is where we come in with Kybella, Destin Medical Spa’s solution to this particular fat accumulation.
