Double Chin Melbourne

Why Do You Develop A Double Chin?

A double chin results from a combination of factors, primarily age-related sag affecting your lower face and neck, and an expansion of the fat pad underlying your chin, known as your submental fat pad.

Age-related sag is due to loss of structure in your jawline from bone loss, descent of your lower face fat pads, and skin laxity. This means there is less ‘scaffolding’ holding up the structures below, causing your submental fat pad to hang.

With ageing, the submental fat pad also tends to enlarge. While weight gain may contribute, more often than not there is a genetic component to your expanding double chin. In fact, weight loss alone is rarely the answer, and it is impossible to ‘spot train’ away a double chin through diet and exercise.

A little extra softness under the chin is a perfectly normal part of ageing, and for many, it simply reflects the natural changes that come with time.

How Can The Dr Jodie Clinic Help With Your Double Chin Concerns?

At the Dr. Jodie clinic, we offer comprehensive consultations to discuss your double chin and side profile concerns.

Non-surgical treatments are available to help including medical treatments, skin care, skin peels, LED therapy, mono threads, and devices. Laser Genesis is great for skin smoothing and firming, while the Scarlet S Radio Frequency is our most potent way to tighten up that outer skin envelope at the Dr. Jodie clinic. The good news is that liposuction is not your only solution, which is a common misconception.

Please note that any treatment that includes the use of schedule 4 medications cannot legally be advertised online, as directed by our governing body the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), so it is not a feature of our discussion here.

The first step is always consultation with your Dr. Jodie clinician.

What Is Involved In Your Consultation On Your Double Chin At Melbourne’s Dr. Jodie Clinic?

At the Dr. Jodie clinic, your clinician will take the time to carefully assess your face and neck to determine whether non-surgical treatments may be appropriate for you, or whether more invasive surgical options such as liposuction or a lower face and neck lift might be better suited. You can expect open, honest guidance, and if surgery is considered the most suitable path, your clinician will discuss referral options with you.

This consultation will also involve a review of your medical history, lifestyle factors, available recovery time, and budget to ensure any recommendations align with your circumstances.

Based on this assessment, your clinician will develop a personalised treatment plan that outlines your options in clear detail. All processes, potential risks, benefits, and expected costs will be carefully explained, and you will be encouraged to take an active role in the decision-making process. There is always time for you to ask questions and explore the approach that feels right for you.

To help track your journey, progress is documented with standardised clinical photography, taken before and after treatment. This provides a clear, consistent way to review outcomes together.

A Tailored Approach For Your Double Chin Concerns At Melbourne’s Dr. Jodie Clinic

At the Dr. Jodie clinic in Melbourne, your clinician will take the time to carefully assess your lower face, including the jawline structure and any fullness under the chin. Treatment planning is always considered in the context of your whole face, with close attention to your features, proportions, and personal goals. Rather than following trends, your Dr. Jodie clinician will focus on creating a plan tailored to your individual needs and preferences. In some cases, this may involve a staged approach, where more than one treatment is used over time, as different modalities often complement one another to provide a more balanced outcome.
