About Excess submental fat.

Excess submental fat is an aesthetic condition characterized by the localized accumulation of subcutaneous adipose tissue in the preplatysmal compartment beneath the chin and along the upper neck.

Predominantly affecting adults, it manifests clinically as submental fullness, convexity, or blunting of the cervicomental angle, frequently referred to colloquially as a double chin.

Pathophysiologically, the condition is driven by hypertrophy or hyperplasia of preplatysmal adipocytes and can arise from genetic predisposition, natural aging processes, and weight fluctuations, often persisting independently of generalized body mass or lifestyle modifications.
