Excelsior! Academy Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Is it possible? Have you done it? What exercises did you do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausmumof3 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I know there are some yoga things to do with toning face muscles etc that are supposed to help with wrinkles. May help to look into that. Do you have much fluid retention at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excelsior! Academy Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 I don't think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiana Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Not really, no. If it's just loose skin, there's not much you can do non-surgically other than make sure to use moisturizer and hope it shrinks. If there's fat involved, overall fat reduction needs to happen. Some people are unlucky enough to have under their chin be the first place they gain weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katy Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 DH's side of the family gets a huge double chin as the very first place they gain weight. They have to get almost too thin everywhere else to have no double chin. I took a yoga class that had facial exercises once. I did them for probably 6 months and saw no difference in my face whatsoever. I remember the one for your chin was called "The Lion" but I don't recall what it was exactly.

Negin Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 There are lots and lots of videos on You Tube, but I'm skeptical. I know many who claim that exercises work and an equal number who say that they don't. I think it's part of weight gain and/or aging. Here are some exercises: • Lie on bed/sofa with head hanging over the edge. Lift chin towards your chest. Hold the contraction for 10 counts and then slowly lower your head to the starting position. Repeat 10 times then relax. • Open mouth as wide as you can and stick tongue out as far as you can, trying to touch chin with tongue. Hold for 10 counts and repeat 10 times. • Place your open hand at the base of your throat, stretched across your collarbone. Holding your hand down, extend your neck up, leading with your chin and stretch with your bottom jaw, only, towards the ceiling. Do NOT swallow, but rather reach with your bottom lip towards the ceiling “looking†like a gulping fish. Make 10 “gulpsâ€, switch hands and repeat. • Stand with back and neck straight. Raise chin toward ceiling and purse lips in an exaggerated kissing position and hold for a count of 10 seconds. Repeat 10 times. • Stand with neck erect. Tighten the tendons in your jaw by pulling lips up over teeth and turning the corners of mouth downward, almost as if you were frowning. Hold for 10 seconds, then relax. Repeat the exercise 10 times. • Tongue to Nose Although I'm skeptical, I would give them a try for several months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Just to give you an idea...... I weigh 101 lbs and have a double chin. Even when I weighed 95 I still had a double chin. If you see a picture of only my head/face you'd think I was chubby. You'd have no idea that a thin stick body was attached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this sounds really pretentious/shallow/whatever, but I want to say that I wish I weighed what you weigh! I have zero discipline and am an atrocious emotional eater. I wish I could wave a wand and seldom feel hunger/emotional hunger. I know that we all have our challenges and problems, but I wanted to vent.

They make sense, but when you think about what someone would look like doing them it is quite comical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kroe1 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I think the only exercise that works is lifting the pen to write out the check for the plastic surgeon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fdrinca Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Not toning, but... I became very vain about my double chin in photos, so I googled "how to take flattering pictures" or something of the like. One of the top tips is to push the back of your tongue to the roof of your mouth. If you do it correctly, you can feel your tongue muscle lift your double chin up. Apparently *all* of the Hollywood stars do it :coolgleamA: . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
