double chins

Submental fat pockets

Double chins are the folds of flesh that form beneath the chin when fat accumulates there or skin loses elasticity with age.

The singular double chin describes this feature on one person: He's self-conscious about his double chin.

The term implies unflattering excess, making it mildly pejorative when applied to others.
