Disadvantages of double chin
Double chin and triple chin in men and women are attributed to have fatter body structure and genetic plumpness. Despite consistent efforts like dieting, exercising, and even working out, there can be minimal effect on the double chin or the jaw area. This is because the fat once deposited, becomes impossible to get rid of in this particular region.
- Age: as we age past 35, our skin slowly starts to lose collagen and elastin synthesis that leads to sagging of the skin.
- Dietary habits: If you consume more calories than you burn, then the excess calories form the fat pockets under the skin. The sagging skin and the excess calories together form a double or triple chin. These calories could come from sugar, canned or processed foods, and unhealthy fats.
- Genetics: the distribution of fat is hereditary. It is perhaps the determining agent that selects how and where your body carries fat! Similar to ‘love handles’, double chin and triple chin once formed becomes stubborn pockets of fat.
- Posture: in recent years, studies have shown that posture makes a lot of difference in the formation of double chin in women. Muscles in the chin area close to the neck become weak over time. The surrounding skin loses its elasticity and begins to droop or sag.
How to treat double chin?
The only solution to reduce the appearance of a double chin is mainly surgical options. Double-chin is effectively treated with chin liposuction or a neck lift. Chin enhancement surgery is often performed to improve the chin proportion in retrospect to the face and for the good riddance of a double chin. Necklift is a minimally invasive surgery that can reduce the double chin or triple chin as the skin droops in the neck region. A submentoplasty is a surgery that involves a blend of two surgeries liposuction with small incisions hidden under the chin. It can wisely be called a ‘mini neck lift’ as the sagging of the chin is seen on the neck. The best solution for double chin is the combination of neck liposuction and neck-lift performed together by an expert surgeon. This can give the best chin augmentation results and a facelift that can turn the age clock backward!
