Concern Double Chin

What is a Double Chin?

Fat deposits or loose skin on the neck and chin can create a double chin. Aesthetically unpleasing and even embarrassing, the double chin can affect both men and women of all ages. A double chin is not necessarily related to obesity. It can appear in a person with a normal healthy weight. The abnormal development of adipocytes (a type of cellulite) in this area of the body is responsible for the fatty accumulation that causes the double chin. This accumulation generally causes the skin to become soft and saggy, sometimes with an "orange peel" appearance, bumpy and dimpled.
