Lose Face Fat Fast

<p>A double chin is a subcutaneous fat around the neck that sags down and creates a wrinkle, making the owner appear to have a second chin. It is most common on people who are elderly or obese. A person of average weight can bear a double chin as well, depending on their bone structure and amount of loose skin. It is more visible when the bottom jaw is lowered or the head is tilted down.</p> <p> </p> <p>[edit] Treatment</p> <p>Double chins may be reduced in obese and overweight people by losing weight, but complete removal typically requires surgery.</p> <p> </p> <p>A cosmetic surgeon can remove the fat pad under the chin and shorten the muscles under the jaw to remove the double chin. This procedure involves a small horizontal cut under the double chin to remove the fat beneath the skin. Afterwards, a vertical incision between the layers of the neck and jaw muscle is made. The edges are sewn together to shorten, and therefore tighten, the muscle layer.</p> <p> </p> <p>Compared to some forms of cosmetic surgery, it is a relatively painless and moderately priced procedure; it requires two small bandages to hide. Bruising is usually minimal, and usually disappears within about ten days.</p> <p> </p> <p>That being said, these are all just cover ups and not solutions, the diet and exercise will be a lot more help, also for other areas of your body.</p> <p> </p> <p>Besides getting the usual aerobic exercise (running, biking etc.) and anaerobic exercise (weight lifting), there are also some double chin exercises you can do.  They don’t do wonders, but they sure help.</p> <p>That being said, there are other ways to reduce your double chin. </p> <p> </p> <p>Let’s first have a look at the reasons your double chin exists: </p> <p> </p> <p>Genetic tendency.  There’s not much we can do about that unfortunately… </p> <p>Fat and fluid build-up.  There’s something we can do about that… </p> <p>Lack of exercise.  Idem. </p> <p>Another thing that promotes double chins: excessive tanning: tanning is bad for the elasticity of your skin. </p> <p>The first thing you should ask yourself: are there other places on your body with excess fat (the belly is the first thing that comes to mind).  If you have to answer yes to this question, the solution is relatively simple: you need to loose weight.  You will tighten your double chin if you loose fat, weight loss helps tremendously.  </p> <p> </p> <p>You more or less know loosing fat  involves:</p> <p> </p> <p>Healthy food </p> <p>Regular meals </p> <p>Go easy on alcohol, sugar and fats </p> <p>Lots of exercise </p> <p>Enough sleep (7-8 hours a night) </p> <p>How to get rid of a double chin? I’m not going to give those that are in the same boat as me false hope: although double chins can be reduced by loosing weight and doing facial exercises, complete removal of your double chin requires surgery. Although this cosmetic surgery procedure is moderately priced and not very painful, I don’t think it’s the way to go, I’m not a fan of cosmetic surgery (maybe I’ll be talking different when I get older). Liposuction is not sexy.  </p> <p> </p> <p>Keep your jaws busy: chew some sugar-free chewing gum will keep your jaw muscles working. </p> <p>Exercise the platysma muscle (the muscle that’s responsible for the downward movement of your jaw): pull your bottom lip over your bottom teeth and move your jaw up and down. </p> <p>Another double chin exercise: slap your chin with the back of your hand in a steady rhythm for a couple of minutes. </p> <p>Press your palm on your forehead while resisiting with your head for 10 counts.  Repeat with your hand on the back of your head and on the sides. </p> <p>This is also a good exercise for a double chin: lie down on your back and tilt your head of the floor.  Move your head up and down as if you were saying YES, without touching the floor.  Repeat this a couple of times.  Then move your head to the sides as if you were saying NO, also without touching the ground. </p> <p>Hold your head in a natural position.  Open your mouth as far as you can and stick out your tongue as far as you can.  Repeat. </p> <p>Stretch your jaw muscles by tilting back your head (gently) while keeping your mouth shut. Press your tongue against the roof of your mouth. </p> <p>Tilt back your head and turn it to the left.  Then move your lower jaw forward.  Repeat on the right </p> <p> </p> <p>Product Description</p> <p>Because the muscles don't end at the neck! Our face, constantly exposed, is our calling card. We may have toned bodies and great skin, but once our facial and neck muscles sag; they make us look tired, drained and old. Facial and neck muscles can be exercised just like any other muscle, to strengthen and sculpt it anew. The exercises illustrated in this DVD provide a great foundation for daily workouts that will naturally lift, strengthen and sculpt those muscles, creating a refreshed look that is firm and youthful. The course is comprised of seven segments: Forehead, Eyes, Mouth, Cheeks, Jaw and Neck; a Full Exercise Routine.
