A rounder and fuller area beneath the chin affects the appearance of the entire lower face, which makes the jawline look less defined. Weight gain is not always the reason for a double chin; sometimes, genetics, ageing, changes in skin elasticity, collagen loss, and fat distribution around the chin and neck can create fullness in this area.
Treating a double chin is not about just reducing fat, and the right approach depends on what is contributing to the appearance. At Citrine Clinic, Dr. Niti Gaur evaluates the fat volume, skin laxity, jawline structure, and overall facial proportions before recommending a suitable treatment plan. Depending on the concern, double chin treatment in Delhi may involve fat-dissolving injections, skin-tightening procedures, ultrasound-based fat reduction, or collagen-stimulating treatments to improve the contour of the chin and jawline.
Double chin treatment in Delhi refers to non-surgical procedures that reduce fullness beneath the chin, improve skin firmness, and create better definition along the jawline. Depending on the cause, treatment may focus on reducing submental fat, tightening loose skin, or addressing both concerns together.
At Citrine Clinic, Dr. Niti Gaur assesses the amount of fat beneath the chin, degree of skin laxity, jawline structure, and the desired outcome before recommending treatment. This allows the treatment to be directed at the actual cause of the concern while maintaining a balanced and natural-looking facial profile.
| Treatment | How It Helps |
| Fat-Dissolving Injections | Targets excess fat beneath the chin by breaking down fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body |
| Radiofrequency Skin Tightening | Helps improve skin firmness and elasticity when loose skin contributes to a fuller appearance beneath the chin |
| Ultrasound-Based Fat Reduction | Uses ultrasound-based technology to target excess fat under the chin and improve the appearance of the jawline |
| Collagen-Stimulating Treatments | Support collagen production to improve skin firmness and help address laxity around the chin and neck |
| Skin-Tightening Procedures | Improve skin elasticity and reduce the loose or sagging appearance that can contribute to a less defined jawline |
The estimated double chin treatment cost in Delhi at Citrine Clinic ranges from ₹40,000 to ₹2,00,000. The final cost depends on the procedure and whether both fat reduction and skin tightening are required.
| Cost | Approximate Price |
| Minimum | ₹40,000 |

Factors Affecting the Total Cost
A carefully planned double chin treatment in Delhi can improve the lower face without making the jawline look unnaturally sharp.
Possible benefits include:
Double chin treatments are generally well tolerated when selected after proper assessment. However, temporary or less common side effects can occur:
Double chin treatment may suit adults with a visible fat pocket, reduced jawline definition, or mild skin looseness below the chin.
It may be considered for:
Inherited under-chin fullnessFat that remains despite weight controlA soft or poorly defined jawlineMild to moderate skin laxityReduced chin and neck separationThe process is planned according to the amount of fat, skin laxity, jawline structure, and treatment selected. The exact steps may vary depending on whether fat reduction, skin tightening, or a combination approach is used.
Consultation and assessment: Dr. Niti Gaur evaluates the fat accumulation beneath the chin, skin elasticity, and neck structure to determine the appropriate treatment approach.
Treatment planning: The treatment is selected according to the amount of submental fat, degree of skin laxity, jawline structure, and desired outcome.
Marking the treatment area: The chin and under-chin area are marked to guide precise treatment and maintain symmetry.
Cleansing and preparation: The treatment area is thoroughly cleaned before the procedure.
Numbing, if required: A numbing cream may be applied to minimise discomfort during the selected procedure.
Targeted treatment: The chosen procedure is performed according to the planned approach, whether it involves fat reduction, skin tightening, or collagen stimulation.
Post-treatment adjustment: Depending on the procedure, the treated area may be massaged or adjusted to promote even treatment and distribution.
Aftercare guidance: Dr. Niti Gaur provides post-treatment instructions and any recommended medications to support recovery and results.
Recovery depends on the method used. Energy-based treatment may cause mild redness or tightness.
| Timeline | What to Expect |
| Right After | Warmth, swelling, tenderness, or tightness |
| 1 to 3 Days | Puffiness or bruising may become visible |
| 4 to 7 Days | Discomfort usually starts settling |
| 2 to 4 Weeks | Swelling reduces and early definition appears |
| 6 to 12 Weeks | The final contour becomes clearer |
You may benefit from treatment if you notice:
A consultation helps determine whether these changes are caused by excess fat, skin laxity, facial anatomy, or a combination of factors, as each requires a different treatment approach.
Fat beneath the chin
A less defined jawline
Mild loose skin below the chin
Fullness in the upper neck
A heavier-looking lower face despite a stable weight
Assessment of Fat and Skin Laxity - The amount of fat beneath the chin and the degree of skin looseness are evaluated together before treatment is selected.Multiple Non-Surgical Options - Depending on the concern, treatment may include fat-dissolving injections, radiofrequency skin tightening, ultrasound-based fat reduction, or collagen-stimulating treatments.Jawline-Focused Treatment Planning - The chin and jawline are assessed as part of the overall facial profile rather than treating the under-chin area in isolation.Personalised Treatment Approach - Treatment is selected according to fat volume, skin laxity, jawline structure, and the individual's desired outcome.Focus on Natural-Looking Contours - The aim is to improve jawline definition and reduce under-chin fullness without unnecessarily altering the natural facial balance.Dermatologist-Led Care - Treatment planning and aesthetic decisions are guided by Dr. Niti Gaur's clinical and aesthetic dermatology expertise.Dr. Niti Gaur is the Founder and Medical Director of Citrine Clinic, with over 20 years of experience in clinical and aesthetic dermatology.

Yes. Treatment aims to reduce under-chin fullness and improve jawline definition while maintaining the natural proportions and overall appearance of the face.
Reducing fat without addressing significant skin laxity may leave loose skin more noticeable. When needed, a skin-tightening approach can be considered alongside fat reduction.
It can be suitable when the concern is localised submental fat. The treatment approach depends on the amount of fat, skin elasticity, and overall chin and jawline structure.
Recovery depends on the procedure used. Non-surgical treatments generally involve minimal downtime, although temporary swelling, redness, tenderness, or bruising may make a short recovery period preferable.
It may help when upper-neck fullness is related to localised fat or skin laxity around the treatment area. More extensive fullness may require a broader assessment and treatment plan.
Double chin treatments target the fat or skin beneath the chin rather than facial muscles. Temporary tightness, tenderness, or numbness may occur during recovery, depending on the procedure.
Some treatments can be repeated if further improvement is needed. The timing and need for additional sessions depend on the treatment used and the response after the initial procedure.
Results can vary according to the amount of submental fat, skin elasticity, jawline structure, individual healing, and the treatment selected. A personalised assessment helps determine realistic outcomes.
