Eliminate Your Double Chin| There are Solutions!


How does one define a double chin? A double chin is excess skin under your jaw that sags because there is surplus fat in the subcutaneous layer of the skin that causes the skin to look like an additional chin – hence the term double chin. Most of the time, a double chin is apparent on elderly people or significantly obese individuals, and looks more pronounced when the person is speaking since the jaw is being lowered, making the skin fold over on itself. Fortunately, proper skin care can help eliminate or reduce double chins.


Some people believe they have a double chin when in reality they are aging gracefully. You should look carefully at yourself and get the opinion of a doctor if you actually have a double chin, or if you just think you should still look like a teenager with a tight toned body. It is possible that you have fluid below the chin area (not fat), which is another problem altogether. If it is fluid, then a massotherapist may be able to get rid of fluid retention through a series of sessions.


Using cosmetic surgery procedures can eliminate your double chin for you. Cosmetic surgeons enter the lower chin area by creating a small opening under your jaw. The surgeon will then proceed to remove the subcutaneous fat that has accumulated via vacuum. The next step is to make the muscles tighter in the area of the neck and jaw. Under the hands of a skilled surgeon, the surgery should be painless and result in minimal bruising which will most likely disappear within days of the procedure. The surgery sites can easily be covered with bandages. In fact, you might be able to go out in public after the wounds have healed sooner than you might imagine.


If you prefer non-invasive techniques, there are a several effective skin care products available to tighten and firm.  SkinEnergizer’s Skin Tight is a highly effective body firming lotion that tightens loose skin that forms creating the double chin.  Skin Tight contains Emu oil, active ingredient Hyaluronic Acid, Aloe Vera, Shea Butter, and Green Tea.  Hyaluronic Acid acts to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and firms sagging, loose skin - while Emu Oil’s transdermal features carry active ingredients, moisturizers and anti-oxidants deep into dermal layers.   Aloe Vera and Shea Butter soothe and moisturize while Green Tea – a natural anti-oxidant – deeps cleans and rejuvenates.


All efforts, however, should be supplemented with exercise. Yes, there are specific jaw and neck exercises which you can do to tone your muscles in that area and even burn fat. You may want to examine the calories you consume daily to see if you are gaining weight by consumption and not burning enough through exercise. People who have sedentary occupations more likely to develop weight problems, and perhaps eventually a double chin too.  Taking periodic “mini” exercise and stretching breaks helps.  You should also look at your relatives, especially those older than you to see if having a double chin runs in your family somehow. There is truth to the claim that tendency to have a double chin can be inherited.
