DORE DOUBLE CHIN INDEX™

Why did I get a double chin?

The key point is getting a treatment tailored to the cause of the double chin.

A double chin is not simply "caused by gaining weight.”

For some people, it occurs due to excess fat.

It may also be caused by sagging skin, while for others,it can be due to the structure of the jawbone.

Therefore, the treatment method must be completely different depending on the cause of your double chin.

The DORE DOUBLE CHIN INDEX™ is a standard that divides double chins into four main types to help you find the most suitable treatment direction for you.

① Volume Type

"This is when you gain weight easily, while your skin is still firm."

This type is not actually due to sagging skin, but rather a significant accumulation of fat along the jawline and under the chin, making it appear like a double chin.

This is common in most young people whose skin elasticity is generally good.

They usually have a thick layer of fat that can be felt when touching under the chin.

The core of treatment for this type is

to reduce fat.

The best approach is weight management and dieting, but fat in specific areas often remains even after weight loss.

In such cases,

1. fat-dissolving injection
2. ONDA Lifting
3. Ultherapy (fat reduction mode)
4. double chin liposuction

can create a more defined jawline through the back.

The firmer the skin, the better the result.

② Sagging Skin Type

“This is the type where the sagging skin causes your double chin.”

This type appears most commonly around the age of 35.

Fat is not the issue in this case.

It is a condition where the skin sags downwards due to a decrease in collagen and elasticity, appearing like a double chin.

There is a simple self-diagnosis method for this.

When you pinch your chin with your hand,

if it feels thinner than expected, you may suspect a decrease in skin elasticity.

The core of treatment for this type is

to make the skin firm again.

The recommended treatments are

1. RF Lifting (Thermage FLX, XERF, etc.),
2. Skin booster that thickens the skin layer,
3. and Collagen regeneration treatment.

Because simply removing fat may actually make the skin look more saggy.

Therfore, in this type, improving resilience should be the top priority.

③ Retruded Chin Type

"A small jaw shape is the cause for this type."

This is a cause that majority of people are unaware of.

If your chin is set back,

as the space between the neck and chin narrows, it will cause a look of a double chin even if there isn't much fat.

If there is no significant change even if you correct your posture,

you must consider the structure of your jaw.

The core of treatment for this type is

to make your the jaw shape protrude forward.

A typical methods are

1. chin filler
2. chin implant
3. technical surgeries.

When the shape of the jaw is protruded, the jawline is lengthened and the angle between the neck and jaw is enhanced, significantly improving the double chin.

Afterward, combining fat reduction or skin elasticity treatments can yield even more natural results.

④ Combination Type

"This the most commen type."

Majority of people have

1. facial fat,
2. sagging skin
3. and jaw structure with a room of improvement.

In other words,

all these three causes usually exist together.

The core of treatment for this type is

to treat the causes in order, starting with the biggest one.

Generally, you can obtain the most natural results by following order:

① Improving skin elasticity

↓

② Reducing facial fat

↓

③ Correcting jawline

You can obtain the most natural results by approaching it in that order.

If you want a more dramatic improvement, You can also make your jawline more defined with

1. submental corset platysmaplasty and
2. thread lifting.

Tips from DORÉ

What type of double chin is mine?

Key Advise

Double chin is not caused by a single factor.

While there are cases where losing weight alone resolves the issue, there are also instances where skin elasticity needs to be restored, and in some cases, the jaw structure must be corrected as well.

The DORÉ DOUBLE CHIN INDEX™ is a diagnostic criterion designed to first analyze the cause of a double chin and select the appropriate treatment based on that cause.

The more accurately you identify the cause, the less unnecessary procedures, the more natural and satisfying jawline will be there.
