Q: What is a double chin and how can it be treated?

A double chin can be caused by genetics, obesity, and aging. The most effective solution requires identifying whether it's accumulated fat or sagging skin. If it's a fatty deposit, liposuction is recommended to permanently remove the fat cells. However, if it's skin laxity, treatments like Ulthera or HIFU can be more effective in defining the jawline. In some cases, a combination therapy may be recommended for a more defined and youthful appearance.
