A double chin is a phenomenon caused by a layer of subcutaneous fat around the neck that sags down and creates a wrinkle, making the owner appear to have a second chin. It is most common on the elderly and the obese, and is more visible when the bottom jaw is lowered.

Surgery

For about $2-4,500 a cosmetic surgeon will make a small horizontal cut under the chin, then suck out the fat that has collected beneath the skin. Finally, they will make a vertical incision between the layers of the neck and jaw muscle, and sew the edges together, tightening the muscle layer. It is a relatively painless procedure, and requires two small bandages to hide. Bruising is minimal, and usually disappears within about ten days.
