Why you still have a double chin (even if you’re not overweight)

It’s not just fat – and it’s not your fault

If you’ve tried every TikTok “jawline hack” and still can’t get rid of your double chin, you’re not alone. Many people struggle with fullness under the chin even when they’re slim.

A double chin isn’t always about weight – it can be caused by genetics, bone structure, or early skin laxity. The good news? There are safe, effective double chin treatments in Singapore that actually work.

Understanding the real causes

Before treating a double chin, it’s important to understand what’s driving it:

• Fat deposits (submental fullness): localised pockets of fat that resist diet and exercise
• Jaw structure or chin recession: bone shape that creates less definition
• Skin laxity: early sagging with age
• Masseter hypertrophy: bulky jaw muscles that widen the lower face
• Genetics + posture: inherited traits or constant “tech neck” strain

What actually works – based on your concern

If it’s fat:

Onda Body (fat melting technology)

• Fat freeze (cryolipolysis for double chin). Both are safe, non-invasive options to reduce stubborn localised fat.

If it’s muscle:

• Jaw BTX (masseter slimming). This jawline slimming treatment in Singapore reduces bulky jaw muscles, creating a softer V-shape. It can also help with teeth grinding.

If it’s sagging skin or an undefined jawline:

• Ultherapy Prime or EternaLift RF. These non-surgical jawline definition treatments lift and tighten skin naturally – ideal for those not ready for surgical threads.

For gentle daily support:

• Gua Sha for jawline and neck. Helps with puffiness and lymphatic drainage. Best as a home ritual, not a replacement for clinical treatments.

Gua Sha: what it can (and can’t) do

Gua Sha is often promoted online as a miracle fix, but here’s the truth:

• Helps reduce puffiness, improve circulation, and relieve tension
• May create short-term definition with consistent use
• Cannot dissolve fat
• Cannot tighten sagging skin or slim bulky muscles

For visible, lasting results, Gua Sha should be paired with professional treatments.

How to know what you need

Most patients don’t fall neatly into just one category. A combination approach often works best – targeting fat, skin, and muscle together.

At SW1, we designed the V-Line Precision Lift – a doctor-led program combining Lipodissolve, Ultherapy, and EternaLift RF for a tailored, comprehensive jawline lift.

Your treatment plan may start with BTX masseter slimming, followed by skin tightening, then fat reduction – all sequenced to your needs.

What it’s really about

“This isn’t about chasing a trend. It’s about restoring balance to your face, so you look like you – but refreshed, lifted, and confident.”

If you’ve been wondering how to get rid of a double chin in Singapore, the right treatment isn’t one-size-fits-all. A personalised, doctor-led plan is the key to long-lasting results.
