Concern guide
Fullness beneath the chin can be influenced by localised fat, skin laxity, genetics and the shape of the lower face.
Understanding
A double chin describes fullness beneath the jaw, often called submental fullness. It can be present at any body weight and may reflect a combination of localised fat, looser skin, genetics and the underlying shape of the chin and neck.
The right approach depends on what is creating the fullness. A consultation should distinguish a pinchable pocket of fat from skin laxity or structural features before any treatment is recommended.
Compare your options
A consultation is the starting point: the most appropriate option depends on what is creating the concern, your goals and your medical history.

Aqualyx is an injectable option for a small, localised pocket of fat beneath the chin. It allows the practitioner to work precisely around the submental area, subject to an in-person assessment.
Why consider itMost relevant for a small, well-defined fat pocket when you are comfortable with injections.
From £99
For suitable pinchable fat beneath the chin, a small applicator uses controlled cooling to target the area without needles. It is intended for localised fat rather than loose skin.
Why consider itA needle-free option when the fullness is mainly a pinchable pocket of fat.
From £99
Lemon Bottle is offered as a targeted injectable approach for a small chin or jawline area. Suitability and the likely number of sessions depend on the amount and position of the fullness.
Why consider itAnother injectable route for a small, localised area beneath the chin.
From £99
When skin laxity contributes more than fat, HIFU may be discussed as a tightening option for the lower face and under-chin area. It is not a substitute for fat reduction when the fullness is mainly fatty tissue.
Why consider itMost relevant where looser skin contributes to the appearance of a double chin.
Before you decide
These treatments are designed for contouring rather than overall weight loss. Results develop gradually and vary by person, and more than one session may be advised. Injectables, controlled cooling and focused ultrasound have different suitability criteria, side effects and recovery profiles, so your practitioner should discuss the relevant risks and alternatives before treatment.
Common questions
Fullness beneath the chin can result from localised fat, looser skin, genetics, weight change or the structure of the chin and neck. More than one factor may be involved.
Yes. Genetics, natural fat distribution, skin laxity and lower-face structure can all affect the area, regardless of overall body weight.
There is no single best option for everyone. A practitioner needs to assess whether the main issue is localised fat, skin laxity or another feature before comparing suitable treatments.
No. The treatments shown here are intended to contour a localised area and are not a substitute for weight-management care.
