Double chin and fullness under the jaw
A pocket of fullness under the chin often has little to do with weight, which is why it can be so stubborn.
What you might be noticing.
A soft fold beneath the chin that shows in profile and in photos taken from below. The angle between your chin and neck looks blunted. Losing weight may not change it, and it can appear in people who are otherwise slim.
Why it happens.
Submental fat, the fat under the chin, is partly genetic. Some people carry it from a young age. Skin laxity, a receding chin and posture add to the appearance. Because it is a distinct fat pocket, targeted treatment tends to do more than general weight loss.
How Crystal can help.
Fat Dissolving Injections
Fat dissolving injections break down fat cells in the treated area, which the body then clears gradually.

Chin & Jawline Filler
Adding definition to the chin or jawline with filler can sharpen the profile when a weak chin is part of the picture.
About chin & jawline fillerWhat to expect at your consultation
Crystal checks whether the fullness is fat, skin, or chin structure, since each calls for a different approach. Fat dissolving is usually done as a series of sessions spaced weeks apart, and swelling for a few days after each is normal. She will set expectations clearly before you start.
Common questions.
How many sessions are needed?
It varies with the amount of fat. Many people need more than one session, spaced several weeks apart. Crystal will estimate at your consultation.
Is there downtime?
Expect swelling and tenderness under the chin for a few days. Most people carry on with daily life, though some prefer to plan around a quiet week.
Is the result permanent?
Treated fat cells are cleared by the body and do not return. Significant weight gain can still change the area.

Sagging jawline and jowls
A jawline that used to look crisp can start to blur, with soft pockets forming beside the chin. It is one of the most common things people ask Crystal about.
Forehead lines and frown lines
The lines that appear when you raise your brows or concentrate can start to stay put. Treating them early keeps the result subtle.
