A double chin is a layer of subcutaneous fat around the neck that sags down and creates a wrinkle, making the owner appear to have a second chin.

Treatment
A cosmetic surgeon can remove the fat pad under the chin and shorten the muscles under the jaw to remove the double chin. This procedure involves a small horizontal cut under the double chin to remove the fat beneath the skin. Afterwards, a vertical incision between the layers of the neck and jaw muscle is made.[citation needed] The edges are sewn together to shorten, and therefore tighten, the muscle layer. As with any surgery, complications may arise. Such surgery is a relatively painless and moderately priced procedure.
