Patients are often self-conscious about the appearance of a double chin. This is properly termed submental fat. A double chin can often be noted as a key cosmetic concern. Submental fat occurs when fat cells are stored under the chin, it often doesn’t respond to dieting and exercise. While weight gain is a common cause of submental fat, it may also result from genetics or the aging process. 

As an aesthetic practitioner, being able to eliminate submental fat will help you give your patients the appearance that they desire. Kybella, a non-surgical submental fat treatment, makes this possible.
