SUBMENTAL FAT

AKA: DOUBLE CHIN

Fullness under the chin can impact how a person feels about themselves and, for both women and men, can lead to feelings of negative self-impression. More than 67 per cent of people are bothered by the fat or fullness under their chin, similar to the percentage of patients who are bothered by lines and wrinkles.
