What procedure am I a good candidate for? My double chin disappears when I put my tongue on the roof my mouth.

July 10, 2023

I am a healthy weight (BMI 21) but my jawline isn't as sculpted as I would like it to be. I know a lot of chin/jawline procedures target, fat, but one thing I noticed is when I put my tongue on the roof of my mouth, my double chin disappears. Could it be that I have a different anatomical issue (like muscular) or can it still be fat? I am asking because I don't want to pursue a treatment that targets fat if this is not the primary issue and won't give me the results that I am looking for.
