How I Can Help You Say Goodbye to Your Double Chin: Insights from Dr. Sandeep Bhasin
Dr. Sandeep Bhasin as the CEO of Care Well Medical Centre, it’s my job to help people feel better about themselves and recover their confidence. A double chin, also called submental fat, is something that a lot of my patients worry about. If you want to get rid of your double chin and get a more defined profile, I can help you, no matter what caused it—genes, weight gain, or getting older.
Understanding the Double Chin Dilemma
A double chin occurs when a layer of fat accumulates beneath the chin, leading to a noticeable bulge. While weight gain is a common culprit, factors such as genetics and skin laxity can also contribute to its development. Understanding the root cause is essential in determining the most effective approach for addressing this concern.
Exploring Non-Surgical Solutions
Exercise Your Way to a Defined Jawline
Some workouts that focus on the chin area may not have strong scientific support, but personal evidence suggests that they might be helpful. Making workouts a daily habit can help tone and strengthen the skin and muscles around your chin and neck. You can try these exercises:
- Straight Jaw Jut: Tilt your head back, push your lower jaw forward, and hold for a count of 10.
- Ball Exercise: Place a ball under your chin and press down against it, repeating several times daily.
- Pucker Up: Pucker your lips as if kissing the ceiling to stretch the area beneath your chin.
- Tongue Stretch: Stick your tongue out as far as possible, lift it upward toward your nose, and hold for 10 seconds.
- Neck Stretch: Press your tongue against the roof of your mouth while tilting your head back.
- Bottom Jaw Jut: Turn your head to the right, slide your bottom jaw forward, hold, and release.
Healthy Lifestyle Habits for a Leaner Profile
Lifestyle changes that are good for you can often help get rid of a double chin, especially if weight gain is the cause. Here are some suggestions for a healthy diet and way of life:
- Increase your intake of fruits and vegetables.
- Opt for whole grains over refined grains.
- Minimize processed foods in your diet.
- Incorporate lean protein sources, such as poultry and fish.
- Choose healthy fats like olive oil, avocados, and nuts.
- Include low-fat dairy products in moderation.
- Stay within your daily calorie needs to support weight management.
Maintaining a healthy diet and engaging in regular physical exercise can help you lose weight and define your chin even more.
Exploring Medical Interventions
Advanced Treatments for Lasting Results
If non-surgical ways don’t work or if genetics play a big role in having a double chin, medical help may be explored. At Care Well Medical Centre, we have cutting-edge procedures that can get rid of stubborn fat and improve the shape of your face. Here are some options:
- Lipolysis: This procedure, also known as liposculpture, utilizes techniques such as liposuction or laser therapy to melt away excess fat beneath the chin. While it can effectively reduce fat, it does not address skin laxity.
- Mesotherapy: A minimally invasive technique involving injections of fat-dissolving compounds, mesotherapy can help break down fat cells in the chin area. Deoxycholic acid injections, such as Kybella, are among the approved options for this purpose.

Unfortunately, double chins often stick around once they make an appearance. Even with rigorous diet and exercise, they tend to linger. But fear not, there are various options, from non-surgical to surgical, to address this common concern.
Chewing gum can keep your jaw muscles strong, which might give your chin a slight lift. However, it won’t zap away the fat in your double chin.
Spot reduction of fat isn’t a thing, so focus on overall health. Load up on fruits and veggies instead of processed foods, and maintain a regular exercise routine comprising aerobics, strength training, and other activities.
If your double chin stems from excess fat, shedding pounds can help. But remember, you can’t specifically target submental fat through diet or exercise alone.
Try the chin-to-ceiling exercise: Stand or sit up straight, tilt your head back, and look at the ceiling. Gently push your lower jaw forward toward the ceiling. Do this 10-20 times a day to activate the neck and jaw muscles.
Studies show that movements for the chin may help people with temporomandibular disorders, which cause long-term pain in the muscles, bones, and nerves of the jaw, feel better.
Consider non-surgical treatments like injections of deoxycholic acid. This acid destroys fat cells in your chin, leading to fat reduction. Quick and easy, with results typically visible within a few weeks.
