Slim & Sculpt • Double Chin & Jowls
That stubborn pocket of fullness under the chin rarely responds to diet or exercise. Our Colorado Springs team reduces submental fat and sharpens the chin-to-neck line, without surgery, scarring, or significant downtime.
A double chin is one of the most common lower-face concerns and one of the most stubborn, because for many people it has very little to do with overall body weight.
Submental fat, the pocket beneath the chin, is largely genetic. For a lot of patients the area acts as a designated fat depot that holds on regardless of how fit you are, so even at a healthy weight that fullness can persist indefinitely. No amount of dieting or exercise reliably removes it, which is why it takes targeted treatment.
Loose skin can play a role too, especially after significant weight loss, and softening jowls can blur the jawline further. If your main concern is a soft or sagging jawline rather than fullness under the chin, our Jawline & Jowls page covers the skin-tightening side in more detail.
The good news is that the submental area responds very well to today’s treatments. Whether the goal is removing the fat, tightening the skin, or both, Dr. Dunham and his team will build the right approach, or combination, for your anatomy.

With age, facial fat pads shift downward and settle along the lower face and under the chin, adding to the fullness.

Lower face concerns aren’t one-size-fits-all — and neither is the approach to treating them. Based on your anatomy, the degree of laxity or volume, and what you’re hoping to achieve, Dr. Dunham and his team will recommend the option — or combination of options — that makes the most sense for you.

Why Patients Choose Us
#1 Provider in Colorado for Many of Your Favorite Treatments
Every patients care team includes a dedicated physician and trained team.
We only recommend treatments that make sense for your body and goals.
It can be either, but for most people it is primarily submental fat, a genetically determined pocket beneath the chin that resists diet and exercise. Some patients also have loose skin, especially after weight loss. Dr. Dunham and his team will identify which is driving your concern at your consultation, because it determines whether fat reduction, skin tightening, or a combination is the right approach.
Yes. Treatments like CoolSculpting and FaceTite reduce submental fat without a surgical procedure. CoolSculpting freezes and eliminates the fat with zero downtime, while FaceTite removes fat and tightens skin at the same time through a tiny entry point. Dr. Dunham and his team will recommend the right option based on how much fat and laxity you have.
For fullness alone, CoolSculpting is an excellent no-downtime option. For fat combined with some skin laxity, FaceTite delivers the most complete single-session result. Morpheus8Burst addresses loose skin and helps maintain results. Most patients do best with one primary treatment, sometimes paired with a tightening treatment for a sharper finish.
It depends on the treatment. CoolSculpting has zero downtime. FaceTite involves about 5 to 7 days of recovery with a compression garment. Morpheus8Burst involves 2 to 5 days of redness and mild swelling. We will walk you through exactly what to expect before you commit.
Costs vary depending on which treatment or combination is right for you. We offer flexible financing options — apply in minutes and split your investment into manageable monthly payments. The most accurate pricing comes from your in-person consultation where Dr. Dunham and his team will evaluate your anatomy and build a specific plan with transparent costs.
Dr. Dunham and his team will evaluate your chin and neck and build a personalized plan, fat reduction, skin tightening, or both, designed around the sharper profile you are after. Real results rarely come from a single treatment. Dr. Dunham and his team often combine and stack multiple treatments into one strategic plan built around your goals — because we’re focused on your results, not a sales pitch.
