The signs of aging that appear on the face over time are quite obvious. A double chin is one of these signs, and it can make a person look old, out of shape, and tired. And yet, people with a double chin may not necessarily be old. Even people in their early 20s can get develop a double chin. Kybella is a solution for your double chin.
What Causes a Double Chin?
Double chins are usually caused by weight gain. However, there can be a host of other factors that cause double chins. Here are the most commonly known factors:
• Genetics: Double chins may run in the family. You may not be obese but may still have a double chin because of genetics; the tendency to develop a double chin may have been passed down in your family.
• Weight Gain and Loss: Don’t let anyone trick you into believing that losing weight will cause you to automatically lose your double chin. While weight gain is commonly known to cause a double chin, losing weight also leads to its formation. This is due to the sagging skin that forms after major weight loss.
• Age: This is another common factor behind double chins. With age, there is a loss of tautness and elasticity in the skin and muscle tissues. This causes drooping.
• Fat-Cell Concentration: There may be a higher than normal concentration of fat cells in the region below the chin. This causes the area to puff up more than it normally should.
