What Is A Double Chin/Stubborn Fat?

Stubborn fat is something that many of us deal with. At MD Skin Lab, we know the importance of understanding our patients, the causes of their stubborn fat/double chin, and their individual body goals.

Fat in your body is a crucial component of our physiology, serving as insulation, an energy reservoir, and a protective barrier for our vital organs. As we know, not all body fat shares the same characteristics. Various fat types exist; some exhibit more resistance to reduction efforts than others. Subcutaneous fat is any fat below the skin, which can sometimes be diminished through dietary and exercise interventions.

Submental fat, commonly called double chin fat, is a frequent concern for many individuals. This condition refers to the accumulation of excess fat beneath the chin and neck area, resulting in a noticeable bulge. What makes submental fat particularly frustrating for many is its stubborn nature. Despite dedicated efforts involving diet and exercise, it can often prove resistant to conventional weight loss methods. This persistence can be discouraging, prompting individuals to seek alternative treatments to address this challenging cosmetic issue effectively.
