What Causes Double Chin?
A double chin can occur for three reasons; all are common factors that increase the chances of a sagging chin and increased fat storage.
- Genes: More often than not, many people do inherit a double chin. The genes decide on the facial bone structure as well as the fat deposits. People with round faces tend to have a noticeable double chin. If the cause of a double chin is genetics, then it may be hard for you to get rid of it. One can always maintain a healthy lifestyle and reduce the appearance of a double chin.
- Being Overweight: Those who weigh more, tend to have a double chin. Since the fat gets stored in the usual spots like the stomach, thighs, and arms, the fat eventually starts to fill up under the chin causing a fat double chin. One must also remember that quick fat loss will create a sagging chin, as the fat quickly vanishes leaving the skin under the chin lose and hanging.
- Aging: Growing old means your metabolism slows down. This leads to muscles loss, low elasticity of skin and fragile bones.
