Getting Rid Of The Double Chin:

Once puberty hits a person, the various parts of her body are engaged in a never-ending battle with age. To make things worse, women tend to put on weight quicker than men. Wrinkles, when combined with fat are sure-fire youth busters.

While wrinkles attack the face more than any other part of the body, fat settles in wherever it can. The thighs, tummy, buttocks, calves, jowls, neck, hips and even the arms are common areas where fat gets deposited.

When fat settles in the area between the chin and the neck it results in a double chin. But besides body fat, body anatomy and time are also factors that cause a double chin. Slender-built people too are known to suffer from this condition. For them a double chin is usually the result of a variation in the jaw and throat shape. A less defined angle between the jaw and the throat results on a neck that sags with flab.

There are patients who attempt to correct a double chin with exercises; but fat cannot be reduced with exercises. A more permanent solution is the double chin surgery which makes use of a liposuction technique for getting rid of fat excess fat.

The tumescent liposuction surgery allows the plastic surgeon to make small incisions that are strategically placed in the double chin. Besides scraping off excess fat, this surgery also tightens the neck muscles resulting in a more definite jaw line.
