The common procedure for losing the double chin is liposuction. This aims to redraw the line of the chin and lower jaw. One of the complications of this operation, however, is a rake-like scar that can be seen particularly when the person leans their head back. Also, before putting your money into this expensive and radical operation, you can try to practice specific exercises which can be as effective in redrawing your lower jaw and your chin.
What are the reasons for a double chin?
There are several factors that can contribute to the formation of a double chin. This is mainly due to weight gain, an inactive lifestyle, but also, as we age, the skin loses its elasticity which leads to sagging of the skin. In addition, muscles that are not exercised frequently lose their elasticity, especially platysma, the muscle that descends from your jaw down your neck. In addition, losing a large amount of weight can stretch the skin around the neck area (there are natural ways to tighten the skin after weight loss).
Daily exercises on the double chin help to tighten, tighten and rebuild the platysma muscle as well as other muscles that surround it. After practicing these exercises for a while, these muscles will rebuild, and you will need less time to maintain them, because it is easier to maintain a muscle than to rebuild it.
Anti double chin exercises
Here are some exercises that will help you get rid of your double chin. Remember that it will be necessary to do them regularly for the best results.
-1- Open your mouth:
An effective exercise is to open your mouth as wide as possible and stick your tongue out as far as you can, trying to touch your chin with your tongue. Hold for 10 seconds and repeat 10 times. When you do this exercise, you will feel like your chin and neck muscles are tightening.
-2- Head in a vacuum:
Lie on a bed or a sofa, with your head hanging on the edge. Lift your chin toward your chest. Hold the contraction for a count of 10, then let your head go down slowly. Repeat 10 times, then relax.
-3- Elevation of the chin:
This exercise helps to strengthen and tighten the muscles of your face and neck. Standing, back and neck straight. Raise your chin to the ceiling and pinch your lips as if you were exaggerating kisses and hold for a count of 10. Repeat 10 times.
-4- Roll your head:
Stand up straight, your spine straight. Turn your head to the side so that your chin is parallel to your shoulder. Turn your gaze as far as possible towards this side. Roll your head slowly down, then up on the other side. Repeat 10 times.
-5- Platysma exercise:
This exercise acts on the muscle that descends from your jaw and along the neck, called platysma. Stand with your neck tight. Tighten the tendons in your jaw by uncovering your teeth and turning the corners of your mouth downward, almost as if you are frowning. Hold for 10 seconds, then relax. Repeat the exercise 10 times.
-6- Tennis ball exercise:
Place a tennis ball against your throat and hold it with your chin. Press the ball with your chin, then release it slightly. Repeat the exercise 10 times.
Lose weight
In addition to the above exercises, you should consider losing weight (if you are overweight). When a person is overweight, there is accumulation of fat all over the body, hence the double chin. Double chin exercises will work best if accompanied by a better way of eating. If you are motivated to lose weight, you should read my previous articles on the subject that will help you.
