Double Chin

As we age, genetics, weight fluctuations, and natural aging processes can lead to submental fullness — commonly known as a "double chin." This persistent layer of fat beneath the jawline often resists even the most dedicated diet and exercise efforts, creating a fuller profile that can add years to your appearance and blur the elegant contours that frame your face.
At BelleSante by Kristine Romine, MD, we believe your profile should reflect the same strength and clarity as your personality. We offer advanced treatments that restore definition to your jawline and chin, creating harmonious facial contours that showcase your natural beauty.

The BelleSante Perspective
At BelleSante, Kristine Romine, MD and Sara Romine, DNP, FNP-C, assess submental fullness through an architectural lens, considering how your unique facial structure, skin quality, and underlying tissues work together. Rather than simply targeting fat deposits, we carefully study your complete facial anatomy to enhance your natural contours, creating beautifully balanced results.
The BelleSante Difference
Many providers take an overly simplistic approach to neuromodulator treatments, focusing on individual lines without considering the whole picture. This can lead to results that are unnatural or unflattering for a patient’s specific features.
At BelleSante by Kristine Romine, MD, we consider how each facial feature and muscle group works together to create your unique expressions. Dr. Romine and Sara Romine, DNP, FNP-C, carefully observe your natural facial movements and create an injection map specific to your anatomy. We often integrate neuromodulators into our Exclusive Treatments, like The BelleSante Skin Gym, to deliver comprehensive rejuvenation that maximizes the health and beauty of your skin.
Balance and proportion guide our injection philosophy. Instead of over-treating certain areas, we distribute neuromodulators thoughtfully to create symmetry and harmony throughout your face, neck and even beyond. Dr. Romine’s signature micro-droplet technique delivers exceptionally natural results, so you'll leave BelleSante looking like you, only better.

Frequently Asked Questions About Double Chins
What causes a double chin?
A double chin, or submental fullness, can result from genetics, natural aging causing laxity, and weight fluctuations, creating fullness beneath the jawline that often resists diet and exercise. The goal is to restore clean jawline definition, tighten laxity, and reduce fat under the chin, resulting in a more refined profile.
How does Kybella address a double chin?
Kybella (deoxycholic acid) is precisely injected under the chin to digest fat cell membranes. Your body then clears those cells over time, gradually sculpting a more contoured jawline—without surgery or downtime. Because our jawlines become less stable and lose volume as we grow older, we often pair Kybella with high G′ (lifting capacity) hyaluronic acid.
When will I see the results of Kybella?
You can look forward to changes after just a few weeks as swelling settles and the body metabolizes the treated fat cells, with continued refinement in the following months. Results develop gradually for a natural-looking transition.
Will I need multiple Kybella treatment sessions to see the results I’m looking for?
Yes. Because we use lower doses to order minimize swelling, we recommend 2-8 sessions, spaced about a month apart, to achieve optimal results. Our team will determine your precise treatment plan during your consultation.
Is there any downtime with Kybella?
Swelling and mild tenderness can be expected in the days following treatment, but downtime is minimal. Most patients resume routine activities quickly.
Are the results of Kybella permanent?
Destroyed fat cells are permanently removed. Remaining fat cells can still enlarge with weight changes, so it’s important to stick to a healthy lifestyle to maintain your results.
