Let’s Learn About Everything from the Details of a Double Chin to Mewing Exercises!

"Let’s Learn About Everything from the Details of a Double Chin to Mewing Exercises!"

A double chin... is a huge source of stress for me too..

Today, let’s take a look at double chins and even mewing exercises!

Please explain!

A double chin refers to a phenomenon in which excess fat accumulates under the chin

or the skin sags, making the jawline appear divided into two.

Medically, it is called submental fat or

submental fullness,

and it can occur for various reasons, not just due to weight gain!

There are also many cases where someone has a double chin but a slim body...

So many people worry about it!

My face is the only part that gains weightㅠㅠ

Causes and symptoms by type

Fat accumulation:

As weight increases, fat builds up under the chin and creates a double chin.

Reduced skin elasticity:

One of the main causes of a double chin,

and in many cases it is difficult to resolve with dieting alone.

Bone structure:

The shape and position of the jawbone also have an effect.

In the case of a short jaw or a receding "weak chin,"

the fat under the chin can appear more prominent, making the double chin look more pronounced.

Salivary gland enlargement:

If the salivary glands under the chin (submandibular glands) enlarge,

the area around the jaw can look swollen and appear like a double chin.

As with all skin concerns,

there are many different reasons.. so you really need to figure out what the cause is for you!

Can mewing exercises help with a double chin?

Yes, they may help, but it’s hard to say for sure.

Mewing is an oral exercise method aimed at maintaining the correct tongue position. The core of this exercise is to place the entire tongue flat against the roof of the mouth.

Mewing is not a medically proven treatment. Also, it does not produce the same effect for everyone. In particular, for adults whose jawbone growth has already finished, it is difficult to dramatically change facial structure. However, as an exercise that may help alleviate a double chin by increasing the tension in the jaw and neck muscles, it is worth trying.

These days, many people see it on shorts or reels and try it.

The most important thing when following these kinds of exercises is

whether you are doing them correctly.

Please keep that in mind.

Dermatology procedures for a double chin

Fat-dissolving injections

A procedure that injects a mixture of various fat-dissolving substances to break down fat in the double-chin area.

It helps define the facial line and make it look slimmer.

However, the results are not permanent,

and because this is a sensitive area, it should be done after consulting a specialist!

Lifting procedures

Radiofrequency lifting (such as InMode)

Ultrasound lifting (such as Ulthera, Shurink, etc.)

Thread lifting, etc.

Various lifting procedures can be helpful,

but of course, this also depends on your current skin condition!

Skin concerns are often caused not by a single reason, but by a combination of several factors.

The appropriate way to improve the condition may differ depending on which cause has the greatest influence.

Can it be solved with bands or cosmetics that claim to eliminate a double chin?

They can provide temporary effects or play a supportive role!

But because we don’t know what caused the double chin in the first place,

I can’t say that it can be eliminated with those alone..!

As with all skin concerns, skin problems often arise from complex causes.

For example, if I eat oysters and get an upset stomach, it’s norovirus!

It’s not something like that.

And if a double chin gets worse, it doesn’t mean it’s automatically just because you gained weight,

so that doesn’t add upㅠ So you really need to consult a specialist.

Spoiler for the next story

Rosy cheeks,,

Red cheeks on both sides are cute..

But for people who have this concern, it’s actually just stressfulㅠ
