The Double Chin Dilemma

A double chin can be a significant source of low self esteem, causing people to become self conscious about their appearance. Double chins are more common in those who are heavier and/or overweight than in those who are healthy and/or an average weight. However, excess weight isn’t the only cause of these pesky pockets of chin fat.  

Poor posture can lead to a ‘weak chin’ causing the skin to loosen due to the muscles weakening, which gives the appearance of a double chin. Natural aging is another main factor, this causes the skin to lose elasticity which causes sagging around the chin area, giving the appearance of a double chin. Genetic factors can also impact the formation of a double chin, like how fat tends to be distributed around your body and how much elasticity is found naturally in your skin. One other cause of double chins are hormonal changes, this is caused by excess estrogen, and or water retention from the thyroid hormone. 

How to Get Rid of a Double Chin?

Some of the most popular cosmetic treatment options for a double chin include dermal fillers, Belkyra injectables and CoolSculpting, these are able to define and slim the jawline, and chin giving you a contoured structural appearance.  

Fillers function by tricking the eye, similarly to wearing red lipstick to make your teeth look whiter. If you have more of a distinction between face to neck, your neck and jawline will look more defined: Filler is what replaces bone, and bone is what gives a more contoured or slimmer look. 

Belkyra functions by using naturally occurring molecules to absorb and eliminate fat cell, which once destroyed can no longer accumulate within the same area.  

CoolSculpting functions by using the science of cryolipolysis which freezes and extracts energy from fat layers to gradually kill them off, once these cells die then can no longer come back. 

Some benefits of double chin treatments include but are not limited to: Increased volume, slimmer jawline, more defined neck, and overall, a more youthful look. 

HOW TO LOSE DOUBLE CHIN?

DOUBLE CHIN TREATMENTS:

1. Chin removal exercise

The best exercises to help with the process of eliminating your double chin include: 

  • Chin to ceiling: The chin to celling exercise requires you to stand or sit with your spine straight and then tilt your head backward, looking up to the ceiling. Gently guide your lower jaw forward, toward the ceiling. Hold this position for 10 seconds. This exercise helps activate neck and jaw muscles and should be performed 10-20 times a day. 
  • Lion’s roar: The lion’s roar exercise requires you to open your mouth wide and stick your tongue out as far as you can. You’ll need to hold this position for 10 seconds. Return to your normal position and restart. This exercise helps you tone your chin and should be performed 10 to 20 times a day.  
  • Cheek swishing: The cheek swishing exercise is one that you often do without realizing it – such as when you’re brushing your teeth. You can use water to help, but you can also perform this exercise with just air. All you need to do is vigorously swish around your cheeks for 5 to 10 minutes. This exercise helps you tone your chin and should be performed 10 to 20 times a day. 
  • Neck stretching: The neck stretching exercise requires you to tilt your head backwards, looking up at the celling. Press your tongue against the roof of your mouth. Hold this position for 10 seconds. This exercise helps you tone your neck, chin and jaw and should be performed 10 to 20 times a day.   
  • Bottom jaw jut: The bottom jaw jut exercise requires you to tilt your head backwards, looking up at the celling. Turn your head to the right while sliding your bottom jaw forward. Hold this position for 10 seconds. Turn your head to the left while sliding your bottom jaw forward. Hold this position for 10 seconds. This exercise helps you tone your neck, chin and jaw and should be performed 10 to 20 times a day.   
  • Ball exercise: The ball exercise requires you to place a 9-to-10-inch ball under your chin. Press your chin down against the ball. Repeat several times daily. 

2. DERMAL FILLERS FOR DOUBLE CHIN

For some patients, the appearance of a double chin is due to skin that’s simply sagging and/or aging, also referred to as a drooping turkey neck. One of the best treatment options if you fall into this category would be Dermal Fillers. The reason dermal fillers are so widely used for double chins is because of their ability to tighten. 

Dermal Fillers work by being injected into the chin and jawlines sagging and/or aging skin to “fill out” the spaces left by the loss of elasticity and collagen making it firmer and more defined.  

Dermal Fillers aren’t permanent however, following treatment you will notice your sagging skin will continue to become firmer and produce more elasticity and collagen for a more youthful, tighter looking defined jaw and chin area.  

The treatment sessions typically take 20-30 minutes. Most patients need between two and four sessions spaced six to eight weeks apart. Most patients will likely see more volume immediately after your chin filler treatment is completed. However, your final results will be apparent within a few weeks, once any swelling has subsided and can last eight months up to two years.  

Potential side effects of Dermal Fillers include:  

  • Swelling 
  • Bruising 
  • Discomfort  
  • Redness 
  • Pain and/or tenderness  
  • Itching 
  • Rash  

These side effects should clear within 7 – 14 days.

3. COOLSCULPTING DOUBLE CHIN REMOVAL

For some patients, the appearance of a double chin is due to extra stubborn weight that is unresponsive to diet and exercise changes. One of the best treatment options if you fall into this category would be CoolSculpting. CoolSculpting is an FDA approved, non invasive cosmetic procedure based on the science of cryolipolysis which is a controlled cooling technology to absorb fat cells.  

CoolSculpting works by using cold temperatures to freeze and eliminate fat cells within the subcutaneous layer of the skin. 

Unlike other treatments, after CoolSculpting the digested targeted fat cells are sent to the lymphatic system to be filtered out as waste over a period of several months. Following treatment, you will start to notice results within one to three months.  

The treatment sessions typically take 30-60 minutes. Patients can have as many treatments as they desire to meet their personal aesthetic goals. However, your final results will be apparent within four months after your last treatment session with results lasting permanently.  

Potential side effects of CoolSculpting include: 

    • Redness  
    • Swelling 
    • Bruising 
    • Bloating  
    • Numbness 
    • Skin sensitivity  
    • Pain and/or tenderness 
    • Stinging, tingling and/or aching  
    • Skin discolouration  

These side effects should clear within 24 – 48 hours.

4. BELKYRA TO REMOVE DOUBLE CHIN

For some patients, the appearance of a double chin is due to extra weight. One of the best treatment options if you fall into this category would be Belkyra injectables.  Belkyra is FDA and Health Canada approved as the first and only injectable treatment with the ability to target and eliminate the fat cells under the chin safely and effectively. 

Belkyra works by naturally breaking down and absorbing dietary fat, through its active ingredient deoxycholic acid which is a naturally occurring molecule found in the body, known for aiding in the breakdown and absorption of extra dietary fat. 

Unlike most cosmetic treatments, follow up treatment sessions aren’t necessary once you have reached your desired goal. Following treatment, you will start to notice results within four to six weeks.  

The treatment sessions typically take 15-30 minutes. Most patients will likely need two to four treatment sessions spaces four weeks apart. However, your final results will be apparent within six to eight weeks with results lasting permanently.  

Potential side effects of Belkyra include: 

  • Swelling 
  • Bruising 
  • Itchiness  
  • Tenderness 
  • Numbness 
  • Discomfort  
  • Redness 

These side effects should clear within three days.

HOW TO GET RID OF NECK FAT?

Neck fat can be an understandably very frustrating physical appearance issue for a lot of people. Many people typically assume this is due to an unhealthy lifestyle, and diet as it is one of the first areas commonly related to weight gain, and it’s generally one of the hardest places to lose the extra fat when you try to lose weight which is already difficult enough. 

Not only does neck fat make one feel self conscious, but it also has many negative health effects. One of these being sleep apnea, which impairs breathing and disrupts normal sleeping patterns.  

To help aid in the reduction of neck fat, there are exercises, posture techniques, lifestyle changes, and cosmetic treatment options that can help tone and reduce neck fat. 

TIPS TO HELP REDUCE THE APPEARANCE OF 'TURKEY NECK':

1. Reduce Calorie IntakeOne of the number one reasons behind neck fat is obesity and overeating, and the main way to combat this is to reduce calorie intake. Some easy ways to reduce calorie intake to help aid in decreasing body fat include: 

  • Switching out high calorie foods, such as high-fat meats, baked goods, etc for low calorie, high fiber foods such as lean meats, veggies, fruits, legumes, etc. 
  • Switching out refined grains, such as white rice and white bread for better sources of carbohydrates, such as sweet potatoes and whole grains. 
  • Switching out butter when cooking for olive oil, avocado oil, ect.  

 

2. Keep Proper Hydration – Drinking enough water throughout the day can help keep your metabolism active and you feeling full. Another drink known for boosting metabolism and keeping hydration is green tea, this is due to its antioxidant properties and various minerals it contains.  

3. Exercises – Preforming regular cardiovascular, and weight training exercises are great ways to burn extra calories, and keep your heart, body, and lungs healthy. Weight training is known for focusing on multiple muscle groups at the same which helps burn more calories in a shorter period of time, while cardiovascular exercises are known for keeping your heart rate at a higher rate allowing you to burn more calories while strengthening your heart and lungs at the same time.   

4. Practice Good Posture – Practicing good posture can help with getting rid of excess neck fat. When you slouch and look down at your phone and or computer the muscles in the chin and neck begin to weaken and sag causing the appearance of fullness also know as a double chin, or turkey neck. 

WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE?

Who’s a good candidate for Dermal Fillers?  

The ideal Dermal Filler patient is an adult who is in good physical and mental health and has realistic expectations for what can be accomplish. Dermal Filler products have been medically researched at length on patients of varying skin types and skin shades. Studies prove that Dermal Fillers are safe and effective whatever type or shade of skin you have. However, if you have particularly sensitive skin, the extent of bruising and swelling may be a little more and last a little longer. A good patient should be financially stable (being comfortable enough to pay for treatments) and willing to undergo ongoing sessions in order to maintain their appearance. Since Dermal Fillers are composed of natural ingredients, it absorbs back into the body over time (usually a period of several months to over a year) and must be reapplied in order to stay visible. An ideal candidate understands the need for this and isn’t put off by returning to their clinic for annual, recurring injections to maintain ideal results, however you may experience the need for less treatments.  

Who’s a good candidate for Belkyra? 

The ideal Belkyra patient is an adult who is in good physical and mental health and has realistic expectations for what can be accomplish. The ideal candidate has a double chin that is resistant to exercise and diet and is at a stable weight. Many patients wrongly assume that Belkyra™ is a substitute alternative for weight loss. However, this treatment is most effective for patients who are currently at, or close to, their ideal weight, and are seeking to eliminate stubborn unwanted fat that remains underneath the chin. An ideal candidate also has skin that is in good condition: If you experience mild to moderate skin laxity, then this could be a good treatment for you. However, for patients who have severe laxity or sagging skin under their chin, it’s best to discuss other treatment options as well. 

Who’s a good candidate for CoolSculpting? 

The ideal CoolSculpting patient is an adult who is in good physical and mental health and has realistic expectations for what can be accomplish. The ideal candidate has good skin elasticity and has no other skin issues within the treatment area. The ideal CoolSculpting patient also has an area of fat that is able to be targeted. A good patient should be financially stable (being comfortable enough to pay for treatments) and willing to undergo multiple treatments if necessary to achieve their personal aesthetic goals.
