Thank you for your question.
The answer is no. You will not lose your double chin if you don't have any procedure done to change the shape or size (volume) of your chin. But your weight loss may change how your face looks in general.
Will weight loss alone solve my double chin? Weight loss would help, but you may well need that removal from a procedure such as liposculpture. Robert M Dryden, MD
When you lose weight, the fatty component might get better, but the hanging skin may not. It all depends on how overweight you are now and how much weight you are going to lose!
