What causes it
Submental fat is genetically predisposed — many people have a double chin regardless of their overall body weight or fitness level. The area is notoriously resistant to diet and exercise because fat cells in this region respond primarily to genetics, not caloric deficit.
Best approaches
Kybella permanently destroys submental fat cells with 2–4 injection sessions. EvolvX combines radiofrequency fat reduction with skin tightening. Sectum skin tightening firms residual skin laxity after fat reduction. The right choice depends on the amount of fat and the degree of skin laxity present.

FAQ: Double Chin
Is Kybella permanent?
Yes. Deoxycholic acid permanently destroys fat cells, which cannot regenerate. As long as you maintain a stable weight, results are permanent.
How much swelling should I expect with Kybella?
Significant swelling for 1–2 weeks is normal and expected — it's the inflammatory process that destroys the fat. Plan accordingly before any important events.
