The common procedure to reduce a double chin is liposuction . Liposuction is intended to highlight the lower jaw line.

However, one of the complications of double chin liposuction is a trace like scar , especially noticed when the person tilts their head back.

So before you spend money on this drastic and expensive procedure, you can perform double chin loss exercises without liposuction like double chin exercises that can also be effective in highlighting your lower jaw and chin and help tone your neck.

Why does the double chin appear?

There are several factors that can contribute to double chin formation. It is mostly because of excess weight and sedentary lifestyle, but also as we age, the skin loses its elasticity which leads to sagging of the skin . Also muscles that are not used frequently lose their tone, including the cutaneous muscle of the neck that extends down from the jaw along the neck. In addition to losing a large amount of weight you can create loose skin around the neck area .

Daily double chin exercises help to tighten, tone and build the cutaneous muscle of the neck , as well as other muscles around the area. After doing these exercises for a while, you are going to build these muscles, and you will need less time to maintain it, as it is easier to maintain a muscle than it is to build it.
