Double Chin Removal in Singapore
A double chin, also known medically as submental fat, is the accumulation of excess fatty tissue beneath the chin and jawline, creating the appearance of a second chin. The good news is that there are non-invasive methods available to reduce the appearance of this unsightly bulge permanently without surgery.
Beyond the aesthetic concerns, a persistent double chin can sometimes indicate underlying health issues. It may contribute to difficulties in breathing, cause discomfort or pain in the neck area, and can often make individuals look older than they feel. If you are concerned about your submental fat, exploring options to remove double chin in Singapore could offer more than just cosmetic benefits.

What Causes Double Chin?
The term double chin describes the excess fat under the neck and below the jawline that makes it appear as though you have a second chin. There are many factors that contribute to the formation of double chins, from natural ageing, prolonged sun exposure, lifestyle and diet, genetics or even facial anatomy.
Ageing
Ageing is a primary cause of a double chin! As you grow older, your skin loses collagen at the rate of 1-2% each year. Your metabolism also slows down gradually, and this leads to the accumulation of double chin fat and the development of sagging skin around your neck and under-chin, causing a more prominent double chin.
Genetics
Genetics is a common cause of double chin. One can inherit traits that cause fat to accumulate in the under-chin. Also, Asians may have a smaller or receded chin, which can make the appearance of a double chin more noticeable even with a smaller amount of submental fat.
Poor Posture
Constant slouching and hunching can weaken the connecting muscles in the neck and chin. These weakened muscles offer less support for skin in those areas, potentially contributing to the appearance of a double chin.
Diet & Lifestyle
A high-calorie diet containing unhealthy fats can lead to weight gain over time, often resulting in an increased accumulation of facial fat, including the formation of a double chin.
Lifestyle habits that involve prolonged sun exposure and increased sun damage can also lead to a loss of collagen in the skin. Sagging skin on the under-chin and neck can further accentuate the appearance of a double chin.
How Does Double Chin Removal Treatment Work?
We typically target three key areas of concern to effectively reduce the appearance of double chins. If you’re looking to remove double chin, understanding these target areas is crucial.
Melting of submental fat deposited under the chin
Submental fat refers to the layer of fat located directly beneath the chin. Various non-surgical treatments can target and address this fat. For example, High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) can deliver focused ultrasound energy to heat and reduce fat cells in this area. Similarly, certain injectable treatments can also be used to dissolve submental fat.
Tightening of sagging skin around the neck and under-chin
As we age or due to other factors, the skin around the neck and under the chin can lose elasticity and begin to sag, contributing to the appearance of a double chin. Treatments like Oligio and HIFU may work to stimulate collagen production, which helps to tighten and lift the skin in these areas, improving the definition of the jawline and reducing the appearance of a double chin.
Enhancing weak jawline and chin structure
A weak or less defined jawline can make the appearance of even a small amount of submental fat more pronounced, contributing to the look of a double chin. Dermal fillers, specifically chin fillers, can be strategically injected to add volume and definition to the chin and jawline, creating a more sculpted appearance and reducing the visual impact of a double chin.
Non-Surgical Double Chin Removal Treatments Available
Double chin removal can be achieved with non-surgical in-clinic procedures available at BECOME Aesthetics Clinic in Singapore.
HIFU
HIFU, or High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound, is an effective non-surgical treatment for double chin removal that can provide similar results to a surgical facelift.
HIFU works by delivering ultrasound energy deep into various skin layers, from superficial dermis down to the SMAS layer (superficial musculoaponeurotic system). This process heats the skin tissue, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin for a natural lifting effect. It is also helpful in melting stubborn double chin fats.
Chin Filler
Chin Filler is a common aesthetic treatment used to reduce signs of ageing caused by volume loss and can also help to improve the appearance of a double chin by augmenting the chin and jawline. Visible results are often immediate after the procedure.
It involves injecting Hyaluronic Acid to the chin area to hydrate the skin and add volume to specific areas of the face.
By adding volume to the chin, chin fillers can help to accentuate and balance facial features, creating a more defined jawline and reducing the prominence of a double chin, while also stimulating collagen production for a more youthful appearance.
Oligio
Oligio Skin Tightening uses radiofrequency (RF) heat to effectively target sagging skin, wrinkles, and fine lines by stimulating collagen production and improving skin elasticity.
This treatment is particularly beneficial for addressing loose skin that contributes to the appearance of a double chin. Oligio is also known for its pain-reducing features, which combine pre-cooling and vibration technology to ensure a safe and comfortable experience during double chin reduction procedures.
9D Perfect V Facelift
The 9D Perfect V Facelift is a multi-step treatment designed to lift and tighten the skin, improve facial contours, and reduce the appearance of a double chin. This procedure targets multiple layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production, potentially resulting in a more defined jawline and a smoother, more youthful appearance. It offers a comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation and can be an effective option to remove double chin and address related concerns.
Wonderface
Wonderface is a non-invasive facial sculpting treatment that uses micro-electrical pulses to stimulate facial muscle contractions—essentially giving your face a ‘workout’, particularly around the double chin area. This results in jawline enhancement and a more contoured facial appearance, with natural-looking results.
