What Causes a Double Chin?
There are several factors at play when it comes to a double chin.

- Age – Skin becomes less elastic as we age and can appear saggy.
- Genetics – Yes, sometimes you can blame your genes. If you have a family history of double chins, your chances of developing one increase.
- Poor posture – Poor posture can cause the muscles in your neck to become weakened.
