Double Chin-How to get rid of it

Double Chin-How to get rid of it

Double chin is caused by accumulation of excess fat beneath your chin. It is generally considered as a sign of being overweight. Excess weight may be a leading cause, but it may not the only cause. Advancing age, genetics or even bad posture could lead to the formation of double chin. If you have developed a double chin, you don’t have to worry that it may be permanent. There are many effective ways to get rid of it.

Exercise

As double chin is caused by accumulation of fat, chin exercise may help reducing it by tightening the jaw muscles and tissues. Simple exercises such as looking up at the ceiling and extending the lower jaw, puckering your lips as if you were kissing the ceiling, pressing down on a soft ball held below your chin, pouting by extending your lower lip as far as you can and rolling your head from side to side and extending your lower jaw can tighten your chin and jaw muscles.

As with any exercise, check with your doctor before starting them, especially if you already have neck problems.

Diet

If you have gained weight and have developed a double chin as a result of it, weight loss measures such as diet and exercise can help you get rid of it. Eating a healthy diet filled with fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, healthy fats and low-fat dairy products, and avoiding processed foods can help you lose weight and your double chin.

Treatments offered for double chin

If your double chin does not respond to exercise and diet, there are procedures available to remove the layer of fat. The procedures include:

Lipolysis

During this procedure fat is removed by liposuction or dissolved using laser. The process will not remove excess skin or increase its elasticity. You will have swelling, bruising and pain after the procedure, but they can be managed with medication.

Mesotherapy

This is a minimally invasive procedure. Injections of fat-dissolving substances such as enzymes, vitamin, hormones and plant extracts are used to remove fat, tighten loose skin and contour skin. A series of injections are given in a sitting. You will require a series of sittings to complete the procedure. It is an outpatient procedure and you can return to normal activities immediately.

Conservative methods such as diet and exercise will take time to give results. Eat right and exercise regularly. Manage chronic illnesses if you have any. If your double chin persists in spite of your best efforts, consult our expert cosmetic surgeon to check out if a procedure is suitable for you and whether it will help you get rid of your double chin.
