The medical term for a double chin is submental fullness.

What Is Double Chin: 

A double chin is a common term used to describe the appearance of excess fat and loose skin that hangs below the chin, creating the appearance of a second chin. They can be a source of self-consciousness and can make a person appear older or heavier than they actually are. 

What Causes It?

There are several factors that can contribute to the development of a double chin. Genetics play a role in the distribution of fat, and some people are simply more prone to accumulating fat under the chin. Weight gain is also a common cause, as excess fat can accumulate in this area. The natural aging process can also lead to a double chin, as the skin loses elasticity and sags over time. Poor posture can also contribute to the development of a double chin, as it can weaken the muscles in the neck and chin area. Finally, certain medical conditions such as thyroid disorders and hormonal imbalances can contribute to the development of a double chin.
