Effective Ways To Get Rid of Double Chin

The formation of a double chin is largely caused by an extra layer of fatty deposit that accumulates under the chin and around the neck. The visible appearance of excess fat around the chin makes a person look unattractive and fat. 

There are several factors that can lead to the formation of a double chin. Understanding these factors certainly helps to understand your body better and adopt the most effective way to get rid of the double chin.

Factors that can lead to formation of double chin

AGE The skin starts to lose its elasticity as we age. As we hit out 40s, the skin sags and becomes loose. The appearance of the saggy skin may contribute to the formation of double chin. 

DIET While weight gain may not always be the only factor for the formation of double chin, it is definitely a contributing factor. A diet high in calories, highly-processed food, and unhealthy fats may achieve weight gain and eventually, a double chin.

GENETICS Hereditary factors play an important role in determining whether you are likely to form a double chin as you become older. People with a family history of skin laxity and double chin, are more likely to develop one themselves.

POSTURE Adopting a poor posture does not only cause harm to your back, it also contributes to a double chin over time, as the surrounding skin loses its elasticity when the muscles become weaker over time.

Treatment for double chin

One of the most affordable ways to get rid of a double chin is to perform some simple exercises such as neck rotation, improve your posture, and stretch your neck muscles regularly. While there are very little scientific studies on the effects of these exercises, they can help to burn fat in these areas. By doing so, it could be an effective way to get rid of excess fat around the chin.

Botox treatment for saggy neck is an effective treatment to relax the muscles in the neck which pulls the skin downwards, giving you the appearance of saggy, loose skin around the neck. By administering some micro-injections on the neck, it helps to improve lower face sagging, giving you a v-shaped and defined jawline as well.

Other options include a neck thread lift treatment and Ultherapy to visibly lift and tone saggy skin. These non-surgical skin lifting treatments are completely safe with no exposure to surgical risks as you will not undergo general anesthesia for the purpose of the treatment. In addition, Ultherapy is able to deliver consistent heat to the fatty tissue to melt the fats in the chin.

For people who have excess fatty tissue around the neck, liposuction remains an effective way to reduce the appearance of double chin. Although undergoing liposuction is effective, the treatment process carries a high risk because the doctor has to use a probe to breakdown the fatty deposits in the chin. With technological improvements, doctors are now using a non-surgical way to eliminate the fat cells selectively from the body through a fat freeze treatment, without damaging the surrounding healthy tissue.
