Double Chin Surgery - The Last Resort

Age forces our muscles and skin to loose its natural tautness. This all the more increases the chances of our building up a double chin. This does not mean a double chin cannot be helped, only that it's a common thing to have one. This article will discuss more on the factors leading to double chin, some remedies to it, and finally, when all else fails, double chin surgery.

Let's begin with the obvious fact about fat building up in the body. Fat unburned by physical activity tend to accumulate at certain places in the body, such as the tummy and the chin. This makes having a lot of fiber in one's diet, as well as foods that contain low fat (and fruits and vegetables) the ideal eating plan. If you double chin is big enough as it is, you certainly don't need more fat coming in. A diet will cut down the intake, and exercise will burn what's already there.

Yes, there are exercises that abound on the internet and in health magazines, such as chin slaps and massages, neck forward movements, and chewing with your mouth open and wide to strain the chin muscles. But these, on their own, and without diet and exercises will not remove the fat build up in your double chin. You will, or may, in the end, need double chin surgery if diet and workouts fail.

Double chin surgery is and should be considered the final resort. Double chin surgery is liposuction performed by a surgeon by making small cuts under your chin, and then vacuuming the fat build out through a hose. The edges of the skin cut previously will then be sewn together, but this time without the bulge. The resulting stitches will tighten the skin and the layers of muscles. A painless procedure, relatively, and which requires just about an hour to complete. The swelling and bruising fades in about ten days.

You only have to worry about your medical bills, for a double chin surgery is not cheap. What that investment allows you, however, is a relatively fast and immediate benefit of taking out your double chin, without the fretting of workouts and the discomfort of diets.
