I have a double chin where the "second chin" is a hard mass (Photo)

Question

The mass is not like a lump, but feels more like a muscle. I've always had it even when young and when in optimal shape. Have you seen this before and is surgery the only option?

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

Unfortunately, the photo you provided is very dark, so it's difficult to see the issue with your double chin.  If you feel there is a hard mass in your neck, I would recommend seeing an ENT surgeon to have the mass evaluated.

John Zannis, MD · Answer

I agree with seeing an ENT for evaluation.  It could be a congenital cyst.  A better picture might help, but a physical exam and possibly imaging will be needed.
