neck fat

Submental tissue accumulation

Neck fat is excess adipose tissue that accumulates around the neck, often visible as a thickening beneath the chin or at the back of the neck.

It may result from weight gain, aging, or genetics.

The term appears in discussions of weight loss, cosmetic procedures, and body image: She's self-conscious about her neck fat.
