How to get rid of a double chin? Tencent Medical Code reveals the secret for you!
To remove the double chin,
Netizens are really struggling…
On the road of seeking beauty, there has always been an unsolved mystery: why do some people believe that “massaging the breast can enlarge the breast”, while “massaging the face can make the face thin”?
There are also various “face-lifting” artifacts on the Internet, and there are black question marks all over the face: Are these “artifacts” serious?

Honestly, in terms of appearance, there is not much difference between this “face-lifting” artifact and stockings directly on the head. In terms of effect, not only does it not have any cosmetic effect, but if it is worn for a long time, the skin is not breathable, and it may also cause problems such as skin acne and long closed acne.
There is also the “Japanese-style Xiaoyan Osteopathic” method that has been popular recently, “you can lose face without a knife and no injections”. It is said that the principle is that “there are gaps between the 23 bones of the human face, and the accumulated chewing action and facial expressions will make the gaps larger”. The “Osteopathic” method uses facial massage to shrink the sutures to the best, so as to achieve the effect of thin face.
Many netizens exclaimed in surprise, saying that “the face has really become smaller” after the experience. But does this cosmetic method really work?
First of all, the suture is a pseudo-concept. When the human body develops to a certain extent (girls > 16 years old, boys > 18 years old), the bones have stopped growing, and the so-called “bones suture” naturally Nor will it appear. If the human body really has clearly visible sutures, it is only possible to fracture.
Since the face skeleton hasn’t changed and you feel like your face is “smaller”, be careful. Because the facial massage is too intense, the muscles and soft tissues may be at risk of injury. If you lose your health in pursuit of external beauty, it will not be worth the loss.
In addition to the ones listed above, there are many ways to get rid of double chin on the Internet, most of which are not very reliable. To get rid of the double chin, we must first know-
A double chin is not just for obesity
There are several factors that can cause a double chin: genetics, receding jaws, chronic poor posture, aging skin, and obesity.
1. Inheritance
Some people’s genes are genetically determined to have a rounder face, and the chin is a place where fat is easy to accumulate, which promotes the appearance of a double chin.
2. Chin Retraction
In life, we can observe that some people have pointed chins, which are straight and good-looking, while some people’s chins are retracted or even almost disappeared. In fact, this kind of retraction is a kind of morbid jaw dysplasia. 1].

3. Chronic poor posture
You who are looking down at your phone, yes, you are talking about you who are now leaning forward unconsciously and a turtle neck appears, pay attention!
Positive postures such as bowing your head to play with your phone or stretching your neck forward for a long time will cause tension in the platysma, resulting in a backlog of muscle sagging. If things go on like this, not only double chins will come to your door, but even neck lines will also appear. Will appear.
4. Skin aging and obesity
1) Skin aging will cause loose skin on the face and neck;
2) Obesity can lead to excessive chin fat accumulation;
3) The elasticity of the platysma decreases, it is easy to not hold the soft tissue, and the stretchability becomes poor;
4) Due to the influence of gravity, the aging soft tissue of the face will gradually sag and accumulate to the position of the lower jaw, resulting in submandibular gland prolapse.
The above four factors together cause the chin-neck angle (that is, the junction angle between the chin and the neck) to become blunt, so Duang~ double chin appears.

To get rid of the double chin, try these methods
Weight loss and posture correction are great ways to get rid of a double chin.
1. Diet + Exercise to Lose Fat
Reducing excess face fat through body fat reduction is probably the most healthy and effective method. Speaking of which, the method is actually quite simple, that is, diet + exercise + persistence, whichever link is missing, the effect of fat reduction may not be ideal.
Some people just think about dieting to lose weight without exercising, which may have the opposite effect.
Because the facial muscles are difficult to be stimulated by smaller activities, just dieting to lose weight will cause facial muscle loss. After losing the support of the muscles, the skin of the face will become more loose.
Therefore, the goal of eliminating double chin can be achieved by exercising honestly, exercising the whole body, and gradually reducing body fat.
In addition to exercise, diet should also be controlled, such as eating more satiety, low-calorie foods (such as whole grains, beans, high-protein foods, etc.), less Drink sugar-sweetened beverages, get enough dietary fiber and water, etc.
The rest is up to persistence.
2. Correct posture
Although there is not enough evidence to prove that there is a real “double chin elimination” exercise, there are some exercises that strengthen the sternocleidomastoid and platysma, which can make the face and Loose skin on the neck becomes firmer.
So, what are the correct postures?
(1) Correct sitting posture
The first is to correct our daily sitting posture. Keeping the turtle neck for a long time is also easy to accumulate fat, resulting in double chin and neck lines. The correct sitting posture is to keep the upper body straight, the abdomen slightly tucked, the lower jaw slightly tucked, and the legs together to help keep the neck, chin, and back muscles upright.
(2) platysma exercise
The platysma is a thin, broad muscle that extends from the chin to the pectoralis major.
Slowly lift the chin up to the maximum angle, then make a grinning motion (like expressing disgust, saying “uh”) with the corners of the mouth down, allowing the muscles to continue to stretch. His facial expression was a bit like a frown. Hold for 10 seconds, relax slowly, and do 5 to 10 sets.
(3) Head-up training
Look up to the maximum angle, hold for 10 seconds, and perform 10 sets per day.
At ordinary times, you can also do some neck activities (head down, head up, neck turning left and right) and shoulder activities (shrugging the shoulders, turning the shoulder joint back and forth) to relax the neck muscles and ligaments.
3. Surgical correction
For a short and retracted chin, a prosthetic implant can be used to improve the chin, or the chin bone (that is, the bone of the chin) can be moved forward to correct it.
4. Medical beauty anti-aging
Beauty-loving fairies can also use some anti-aging medical and cosmetic methods to remove double chins, such as:
Laser, radio frequency and other methods improve skin aging;
Injection of botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid to fill deep neck lines;
Facial and neck rhytidectomy to treat excess skin and contract sagging muscles in the neck;
Submental liposuction, to deal with fat deposits and more.
However, the results of surgery are not permanent, natural aging continues, and this type of surgery is not immune to physical pain.
Although the double chin affects the face shape, it is certain that the double chin does not have any substantial harm to the human body, but there is a little more flesh on the chin.
Everyone can exercise healthily, balance diet and nutrition, and do some chin activities in a targeted manner; fairies can also pay more attention to makeup, clothing, and hairstyle, such as drawing big eyes For one thing, put some shadow around your face and wear a cute headscarf to keep others from looking at your double chin.
Of course, there’s nothing wrong with showing off your double chin if you don’t mind.
