Chin lift after illness or sudden weight loss
If you are a little old, for example under 35, then in this case you first need to turn on the body’s own restorative forces.
And only after, if there is no effect, you can seek help from a cosmetologist. To begin with, let's create a positive psychological attitude to actively fight for our beauty. You need to understand that the path to restoring your own beauty is not easy and long, but the result will be lasting.
First of all, follow a routine, eat a balanced diet, and sleep at least 7-8 hours a day.
Do special exercises for the muscles of the face and chin.
You can contact a cosmetologist, but only to perform stimulating procedures:
- mesotherapy;
- thermolifting;
- ozone therapy;
- FaceTite.
Procedures need to be chosen specifically for their stimulating properties. An experienced cosmetologist will select them taking into account your skin type and age.
Chin exercises
On the Internet and in women's magazines there are a large number of exercises for the neck and chin, including:
- tilting and turning the head;
- movements of the lower jaw;
- lip movements;
- tongue movements.
All exercises are very useful and quite effective if done intensively and regularly.
Facial yoga has become very popular these days. A simple exercise quite effectively solves the problem of lifting the chin.
· "Movable chin"
We push our chin forward as far as possible. Hold this position for a few seconds. Tuck your chin in, pressing it toward your sternum, but without bending your back. Keep it in this position for a while. Move your chin left and right. In each extreme position you need to fix your chin for a certain time.
The entire exercise cycle must be repeated several times.
This exercise is great not only for a sagging chin, but also for a flabby neck, sagging cheeks and a double chin.
Fighting a sagging chin at home
To tone the skin of the chin, you can use quite affordable products that can be found in every person’s refrigerator.
· Ice cubes
Freeze mineral water or chamomile decoction. In the morning, wipe your face, neck, and skin in the décolleté area. The skin will be toned and the chin will be noticeably tightened.
· Masks:
1. Potato mask. The most affordable and effective mask is a mask made from mashed potatoes and honey. Everything is mixed in equal quantities and applied to the chin. Cover the top with gauze. The mask should be left on for 30 minutes. Then the skin is washed with running water.
2. Rice mask with a lifting effect. Mix two tablespoons of rice, 1 tablespoon of sour cream and half a tablespoon of honey thoroughly. Rice needs to be ground until it turns into flour.
Apply this mixture to the face and chin area, leave for 10 minutes and rinse gently
General recommendations for a chin lift
The problem of a chin lift needs to be approached comprehensively.
- Avoid using greasy neck creams. Give preference to products with retinol and vitamin C, which can renew the skin at the cellular level. Buy only high-quality cosmetics. The skin of the neck is the first to react to age-related changes and low-quality products.
- At least twice a week, make masks and compresses for the skin of the face and neck.
- Lubricate your skin with cosmetic oils.
- Keep your skin clean and don't allow any deposits to clog your pores.
- Do neck exercises regularly.
- Whenever possible, rinse your neck and chin with cool water.
You can also tighten your chin using modern hardware technologies, as well as plastic surgery. However, this is already heavy artillery for women at an advanced age and with big problems.
In any case, the problem is easier to prevent than to fix. Therefore, get a chin lift when the first signs of age-related changes appear.
Thoughts on “who is to blame?” and “what should I do?”
There are several options.
- Poor quality threads.
- Sterilization conditions have been violated. If the threads have been overheated, the spikes become brittle.
- Dense subcutaneous fat layer in the chin area. Heavy. Although, it seems not. According to the doctor, medium density.
- And also, from some sources (
according to research by British scientists), the chin is poorly held by the threads. And the neck is not tightened at all.
An investigation is ongoing. Time will tell... Then I will definitely add to the article. So... there will definitely be a continuation...
Reasons for changes in the condition of the chin
Mechanical facial cleansing - what is it Description of the procedure, contraindications, reviews
We all want tightened skin, and have already tried so many cosmetics, but first we need to eliminate the causes that cause sagging skin on the chin, neck and décolleté.
A neat oval face and a beautiful décolleté area are one of the signs that determine a woman’s age
What is the source of deterioration of the skin condition:
• Incorrect application of foundation, tonic, masks (not along massage lines). How to properly apply masks to your face, read the article;
• Bad habits such as alcohol and smoking;
• Dramatic weight loss;
• Frequent visits to the solarium or exposure to direct sunlight;
• Natural age-related changes.
• If you constantly support your chin with your hand while sitting at the computer;
• Incorrect sleeping position or uncomfortable pillow, reading while lying down;
• Constant lack of sleep;
• Lack of vitamins C and E in the body;
• Work in dark, stuffy rooms (which causes a lack of oxygen).
It would be a good idea to think about whether it might be worth changing your daily habits a little so that the chin and neck, the lifting of which makes us look very younger, are irresistible.
Proper care and cleansing of facial skin using facial skin care products, such as micellar water or makeup remover milk, is also very important.
Homemade lifting masks for double chin can really save you from this unpleasant cosmetic defect. But on one condition: they must become a habit. Their effect can be enhanced by salon procedures, massage, and special exercises.
Double chin massage
The effectiveness of combining facial gymnastics with special massage has been experimentally proven. The double chin goes away in just two weeks. The combination of procedures improves blood flow, normalizes metabolism, as a result of which fat cells begin to break down. So, how to do a self-massage of the chin?
Self-massage promotes various positive changes
First of all, you should apply a special massage cream, a decoction of honey or rose water to your chin. Make smoothing movements in the direction from the center of the chin to the ears, increasing the pace. Next, you should gently tap the surface of the skin with your fingertips along the same massage lines.
First the cream is applied
Another effective way to get rid of a hated fold is regular pinching. It removes double chin in just seven days. Just imagine that you have dough in your hands. “Knead” it directly onto the skin. You can end the session by tapping your fingers.
Pinching can also achieve results.

Why does a double chin appear?
The epidermis in the area under the chin is very thin and sensitive. Therefore, subcutaneous fat begins to accumulate in this area as skin tone decreases. Although this disadvantage often affects the appearance of slender girls. This problem can easily be caused by a slouched posture, lowering of the lower jaw during work, when talking or at other times.
Fat tends to accumulate quite quickly in the area under the chin.
Pay attention to how often you slouch and look at your feet. Do you try to keep your head level when sitting? Do you look down when talking to someone? Do you move your chin back when laughing? With this you form a stable fold of fat and skin, contracting the neck muscles
Therefore, even without being overweight, you can get such a defect in the neck area.
Poor body posture leads to fat accumulation under the chin
This leads to the first recommendation: keep your head straight. Make sure that your back remains straight and your eyes are directed forward, make it a habit.
You need to understand that the maximum result can only be obtained from a combination of therapeutic exercises and preventive measures.
Among the reasons leading to the formation of a double chin are the following:
- incorrect back position when sitting. Poor posture and a slouched body position do not add to your attractiveness. And an unsightly crease in the neck due to incorrect head position is an unpleasant bonus;
- lowering the chin during dialogue and bending, leading to contraction of the neck muscles.
During communication, you should keep your head level and not lower your gaze. All this will demonstrate to the interlocutor your self-confidence and positive attitude. And if you don’t forget to smile, you can change people’s attitude towards you for the better and, of course, avoid such a problem; Don't lower your chin when talking - uncomfortable head position during rest. When the head support is not balanced in height, this entails the formation of a crease in the neck, as well as the manifestation of pain, swelling and other unpleasant symptoms;
- drooping of the head during various activities.
As a preventive measure, if there is no problem, you should start exercising at the age of twenty-five. First of all, this will tone the facial and neck muscles, forming a beautiful facial contour, and will also eliminate tension in the cervical region, which will make movements smoother.
Better exercise
As we said earlier, prevention is recommended to begin at the age of twenty-five. However, such gymnastics will certainly help at any age.

Non-surgical chin lift with threads
Reinforcement with mesothreads is currently considered the most effective prevention of severe ptosis of the lower third of the face.
Expert comment:
First
It is very important to place the mesothread bundles at the correct angle! The result directly depends on this
Second
.
Mesothreads always
placed by a doctor together with an assistant, since the facial tissues should always stretch during the placement of threads. The direction of stretching before installation is shown by the doctor, based on the individual characteristics of the face.
Third
.
Under the skin, the threads should form an armature - a network of intertwined threads of various lengths and diameters. Only in this case will the threads “hold” the face almost immediately after the procedure
.
Fourth
. For complex correction and face lifting, threads of 2-3 lengths and diameters are always used.
As a result of such a complex procedure, excessively stretched tissues move from the jowl area in an oblique-vertical direction. Pronounced chin lifting is observed immediately after the procedure. You look younger and fit
.
And finally, fifth
. A non-surgical double chin lift does not end with the installation of threads.
To get a long-term effect, the skin needs to form a strong frame of elastin and collagen around the threads. Therefore, immediately after mesothreads, a course of mesotherapy with an elastin cocktail is necessarily prescribed.
This technique allows you to add “building material” to the skin, thanks to which the action of the threads and the prevention of sagging skin become as effective as possible.
Only this method of reinforcement with mesothreads allows you to effectively tighten your chin and maintain the result for up to 5 years. Then the procedure must be repeated.
Precautionary measures
Unpleasant consequences after the installation of threads are associated with skin reactivity and the condition of blood vessels. The procedure is not recommended if there is a significant deficit in the volume of the soft tissues of the face, the dermis is thinned, dry or has lost its elasticity.
The rate at which hematomas appear and their prevalence largely depends on the individual characteristics of the organism. Damage to large capillaries during subdermal administration is practically excluded, but it is necessary to use external agents containing vitamin K, bioflavonoids, and aminocaproic acid.
Side effects
Complications arise due to the incompetent actions of the cosmetologist, non-compliance with the installation protocol, aseptic and antiseptic rules, and can lead to serious consequences.
- Violation of the integrity of the excretory duct or capsule of the parotid salivary gland. Threatens the formation of fistulas.
- Contouring (translucency), protrusion, retraction along the thread. Problems arise due to superficial administration.
- Inflammation, abscess, phlegmon. They appear due to improper cutting of the ends of the material, damage to the salivary gland duct, non-compliance with sanitary standards, and unsatisfactory postoperative care.
- Limitation of facial movements. Incorrect placement of the fiber, the tip got under the skin.
Contraindications
- Blood clotting disorder.
- Oncology.
- Infectious or inflammatory processes.
- Mental disorder.
- Skin diseases.
- Presence of implants in the correction area.
- Diabetes.
Nourishing and vitamin masks for the neck

2. Nourishing mask. Mix one egg yolk, one teaspoon of honey and half a teaspoon of any oil. Add a little flour to this mass and apply it all on your neck for 15-20 minutes. After this, rinse off the mask with warm water.
3. Anti-wrinkle neck mask. Take flaxseed oil from the pharmacy, warm it up a little and apply to the neck and décolleté for 20-25 minutes. After this, remove the remaining oil with a napkin.
4. Rejuvenating neck mask. Take 1 tablespoon of any oil, heat it a little, add a few drops of lemon juice to it and apply on your neck for 20-25 minutes.
5. Cleansing mask. Pour oatmeal flour (pass the flakes through a coffee grinder) with warm milk to form a thick paste, add melted butter (for 2 tablespoons of flour, 1 tablespoon of butter). Apply the mixture to your face for 15 minutes, rinse with warm water.

Rehabilitation after installation of threads. Fourth week
06.06.2016
The pain is almost completely gone and I can sleep normally.
Yawning is no longer a terrible inconvenience.
Sometimes it feels like the chain or collar is pressing. But there is neither one nor the other. You remember that this is a thread.
12.06.2016
The lower right jaw hurt. At rest, and especially when you touch it.
I think it's due to the position of the head. It turns out that more often than not I turn it to the left, the thread on the right side becomes taut.
The uneven sagging is very noticeable. The photos are sad.
After the massage, be sure to stretch the muscle
Stretch 1: Tilt your head back and turn your face to one side. The muscle on the opposite side will stretch.
Stretch 2: Turn your head to one side and tilt your chin toward your shoulder. The muscle on the opposite side will stretch.
The skin of the neck is very delicate, subcutaneous fat tissue is almost completely absent here, the tone of the neck muscles is low, and they begin to weaken earlier than in other parts of the body, and therefore the skin loses its elasticity.
With age, the skin in general, and on the neck in particular, loses moisture, becomes thinner, becomes inelastic and takes on the appearance of crumpled paper.
Individual composition of drugs
Double chin mesotherapy is performed by introducing a special cocktail into the tissue, the components of which are carefully selected depending on the indications. As a rule, the composition of the drug includes:
- hyaluronic acid (for the prevention and smoothing of wrinkles, moisturizing the skin);
- elastin of animal origin, collagen (to stimulate the process of cell renewal, creating a strong connective tissue framework);
- vitamins A, B, C, E (to prevent aging, remove toxins, eliminate signs of pigmentation).
To break down fatty tissue, lipolytic-based drugs are used. They destroy fat deposits and promote their removal from the body naturally. This type of cocktail also contains components that increase skin elasticity. If the cause of the appearance of a double chin is skin folds, the composition of the drug will be more complex. Professional cosmetologists are inclined to use an increased percentage of elastin and collagen in this case. These substances act as a kind of frame and support the skin in the desired position.
It is much easier to solve the problem if it arose due to excess fatty tissue. Skin folds are difficult to correct using non-surgical methods, however, even in this case, you can, although not completely get rid of the double chin, but noticeably improve its shape.
Help from cosmetologists
In beauty salons, procedures for chin correction are selected individually. Each method has its positive and negative sides:
- The most radical ones include bioreinforcement. This is a special medical technology, as a result of which an artificial gel facial frame is introduced. The patient may be offered several options: Botox injection, biorevitalization, mesotherapy. These procedures are best performed after 40 years. The method is very effective, but bruises appear after the injections.
- But ozone therapy is effective only up to 50 years. An ozone mixture is injected under the skin; at first, unpleasant sensations may be observed.
- Iontophoresis is a painful procedure, but the action of electrical impulses will bring lasting results.
- Lymphatic drainage is a special manual or hardware massage, during which fluid stagnation is eliminated.
- Myostimulation or exposure to pulsed currents is used in combination with lymphatic drainage and injections of fat breakers.
- Ultrasound therapy differs in the duration of treatment. Used in combination with creams and gel.
In order not to resort to expensive innovative cosmetic methods, it is still better to regularly prevent the appearance of a double chin and adhere to a healthy lifestyle.
A clear oval face, elastic chin is the dream of every woman. It is not difficult to make it a reality if you start preventing “sagging” in a timely manner. To begin with, you should eliminate the main reasons that contribute to the appearance of a double chin. These include excessive consumption of high-calorie foods, weight gain or sudden loss. The habit of sleeping on a high pillow also has an adverse effect on the shape of the face.
There are several ways to remove a sagging chin: contact a plastic surgeon, start doing simple exercises to train your muscles, or use our grandmothers’ homemade recipes. The surgical method is, of course, simpler, but it should be used only in the most extreme cases.
To combat a double chin, it is good to use special exercises that help strengthen the lower facial muscles. To do this, just remember a few basic exercises. Sit comfortably and slowly begin to pull your head back towards your back. The mouth must be closed. After ten to fifteen seconds, return to the starting position. Do the exercise five to ten times.
Sit on a chair. Place your hands in front of you. Place your chin on your hands and, overcoming resistance, try to open your mouth.
Stand comfortably. Stick out your tongue and try to reach the tip of your nose. Then repeat the exercise, trying to reach your chin with your tongue.
Lie on the floor with your arms along your body. Press your chin to your chest and hold this position for a few seconds. Then slowly return your head to the starting position. Repeat 20 times.
Take a pencil in your mouth and “write” all the letters of the alphabet in the air with it, while trying to tense your facial muscles as much as possible.
A contrast shower is also a good helper for toning your chin. Light pats can also strengthen the oval of the face. And if you wet a towel with a strong saline solution, and, rolling it into a tourniquet, massage your chin left and right, the result will be obvious after just a few sessions.
Perform the following procedure from time to time. Take a gauze bandage and fold it several times. The width of the bandage should be approximately 2-3 cm. Then moisten the resulting tourniquet in the center with lemon juice. Place a bandage on your chin, with the cloth moistened with lemon covering only the most convex part, and secure the lemon compress for 20-30 minutes. After removing the tourniquet, lubricate your face with a rich, nourishing cream.
You can “strengthen” and “tie” your chin using an ordinary elastic bandage. Just tie up the problem area and remove the bandage after 20-35 minutes. Once a week will be enough.
Self-massage of the face plays an important role in the prevention of double chin. Uncomplicated but effective. Sit on a chair, slightly tilt your body forward and your head back. Cover your upper lip with your lower lip. Then place the middle and index fingers of one hand on the chin, and the little and ring fingers under the chin. Then, alternately with one or the other hand, stroke your face to your ear five times.
When caring for your face, do not forget to nourish the skin of your chin and neck. It is best to use creams and masks that help strengthen the skin and give it firmness, elasticity and smoothness.
Salon methods for eliminating fat folds
Exercises and massages don't help get rid of a double chin? Salon procedures will come to the rescue, which will have a positive effect by correcting the oval of the face and reducing the double chin.
Method of myostimulation
Myostimulation will help eliminate a sagging chin and reduce it in size. During the procedure, microimpulses are used that tighten the skin and rid it of excess fluid.
Facial myostimulation is a salon procedure, the effect of which is achieved by training the facial muscles that contract under the influence of electrical impulses.
Ozone therapy
This injection method has a good effect on the problem area. Existing fat deposits are absorbed quickly and painlessly, preventing the formation of new ones, and the skin becomes more elastic.
Darsonval against double chin: is there an effect?
The Darsonval apparatus has gained great popularity, because it not only has a positive effect on the skin of the face, but also allows you to remove minor external imperfections. General and local darsonvalization methods are carried out in clinics and salons. To remove a double chin, a local method is used - a specialist manually affects the skin using a mechanical device.
If you need results very quickly
In this case, it is better to start with a consultation with a plastic surgeon. Only a personal examination allows you to determine exactly why the chin is drooping and concentrate on eliminating the causes.
Cosmetology has ample opportunities to eliminate problems.
- Loose skin on the chin is perfectly tightened using the unique micro-injection technique of Botox.
Expert comment:
- If a sagging chin is caused by excess fat accumulation, the use of modern lipolytics Michelangelo and INNO-TDS Draining ppc shows excellent results. Their effectiveness is comparable to liposuction and helps even in cases where diet and fitness have proved their impotence.
- Nano liposuction of the double chin with laser. Tiny cannulas are inserted under the skin through 2-3 mm punctures, which heal without a trace. But this is not the only advantage of the technique. During the fat removal process, the laser beam stimulates the skin and even eliminates a sagging chin: after the procedure, the skin independently contracts and tightens

- An excellent tightening effect is achieved by ultrasonic lifting using the Doublo device.
Choosing the best filler
To model the shape of the chin, cosmetologists use the densest fillers. They perfectly hold the given shape and provide a more lasting effect.
Types of fillers
There are several types of fillers, depending on the main active ingredient:
- biodegradable fillers - over time, the injected composition is destroyed, and the breakdown products are gradually eliminated from the body naturally. This group includes drugs with the addition of hyaluronic acid, based on calcium hydroxyapatite, and the patient’s adipose tissue. Preparations based on hyaluronic acid are the most popular, have a gel-like structure and rarely lead to allergic consequences. The disadvantage of hyaluronic fillers is the low durability of the result; after 6–18 months, the drug will dissolve, as will the flawless contours of the chin;
- bionon-degradable or permanent fillers - consist of liquid silicone, do not collapse or dissolve. The achieved result lasts much longer. The main disadvantage of such drugs is the high risk of complications, rejection, and the development of an allergic reaction. Biodegradable fillers are used to solve complex defects;
- combined - such fillers contain both degradable (biodegradable) and non-degradable fillers. Approximate composition: hyaluronic acid molecules and biopolymer non-destructible gel. Combination drugs guarantee maximum effect (up to 2-3 years) along with a reduced risk of complications.
Chin fillers can differ not only in composition, but also in density. The viscosity, density, and structure of the filler affect the technique and depth of drug administration.
Rating of the best drugs
There are many fillers for chin plastic surgery, but products from the companies Allergan, Merz, and Q-Med are proven and popular among cosmetologists. Let's take a closer look at them.
Juvederm Voluma. Filler based on stabilized hyaluronic acid from the well-known cosmetology manufacturer Allergan. Has a gel-like dense structure
It is important to inject the drug into the deep dermal layers, so the risk of hematomas and swelling increases. The drug has proven itself well in correcting the chin and cheekbones, the effect lasts up to 2 years
The cost of 2.0 ml of the drug in Moscow will cost around 42 thousand rubles.
Juvederm Ultra 3. Another filler with hyaluronic acid. The drug has a dense structure, therefore it effectively solves problems in the chin area and facial contours, replenishes missing volume, and models contours. The filler must be injected into the middle or deep layers of the skin. The drug is packaged in 1 ml syringes. The durability of the effect is up to 1 year. Price - 17 thousand rubles.
Radiesse. Biodegradable filler based on calcium hydroxyapatite from the German manufacturer Merz. Made in the form of a gel. The presence of the drug in the inner layers of the skin stimulates the work of fibroblasts responsible for the development of connective tissue. Thus, within a few months after the procedure, a natural frame, an implant from one’s own cells, is formed inside the integument.
The biodegradation process of Radiesse takes up to 2 years. Instant and lasting results, minimal risks of side effects and scars after the procedure are the main advantages of the drug. Please note that the activation of natural processes inside the skin sometimes leads to uneven development of connective tissue, resulting in compaction and asymmetry. Price - 33 thousand rubles for 1.5 ml.
Restylane SubQ. High quality filler from Q-Med (Sweden) based on hyaluronic acid. Ultra-dense biogel prevents moisture loss, perfectly models the chin, participates in activating the synthesis of collagen fibers and creating an elastic frame. The effect of the procedure lasts for 6 months. It is possible to re-inject filler into the problem area throughout the year. The cost of Restylane SubQ is 24,200 rubles per 2 ml of composition.
Note that the company also makes Restylane SubQ Lidocaine. It contains lidocaine, which facilitates the corrective procedure
Its cost is slightly higher - 24,490 rubles.
Princess Volume. Hyaluronate filler from the Austrian pharmaceutical concern Croma. The monophasic drug is produced using SMART technology, has a high dynamic viscosity, and does not contain impurities and oxygen molecules. Injected into the deep layers of the skin, it guarantees a stable, high result of bio-reinforcement and lifting of the skin, replenishing the missing volume. The effect of Princess Volume chin surgery pleases patients for 8–12 months. After this, it is recommended to repeat the procedure. Price - 5,100 rubles per 1 ml.

The method is very effective, but bruises appear after the injections.
- But ozone therapy is effective only up to 50 years. An ozone mixture is injected under the skin; at first, unpleasant sensations may be observed.
- Iontophoresis is a painful procedure, but the action of electrical impulses will bring lasting results.
- Lymphatic drainage is a special manual or hardware massage that eliminates fluid stagnation.
- Myostimulation or exposure to pulsed currents is used in combination with lymphatic drainage and injections of fat breakers.
- Ultrasound therapy differs in the duration of treatment. Used in combination with creams and gel.
In order not to resort to expensive innovative cosmetic methods, it is still better to regularly prevent the appearance of a double chin and adhere to a healthy lifestyle.
